Thank you so much for the upload, and for making captions available in so many languages. Such an important and thought-provoking story. Wishing you and everyone a prosperous and clear-eyed 2025.
It is us, it's us in America compared to less fortunate in somewhere where conditions in worse countries where children labor laws are worse. Respect what you have, check the tags on your clothes and know where they come from. It could just be a sweatshop,I hope you remember this whenever you feel unloved or ungrateful.
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few... or the one." It's not fair, but it's often true. I've been the citizen of Omelas and I've been the child. Neither is pleasant, but being the child is somehow more tolerable. At least the child has a purpose, a meaning behind their existence and suffering. I'm becoming one who walks away, but that's not even a real solution. It absolves the guilt by removing oneself from the equation and refusing to contribute in hurting the child, but it still doesn't help the child. I hope I can someday grow enough to rebel against the system itself
I hope I would free the child or leave, but it's so easy to say, but I'm just living my you know privileged life in the US and coming to understand that everything we have in the US is from imperialism and colonialism. The US are bullies to other countries and that's why they hate us. Growing up western propaganda in schools told us we were the good guys and the "free world", but what isn't freedom is couping dozens of governments, many of which were elected, and placing a subservient puppet to us. And then our corps steal raw resources from other countries and screw them over with insanely unfair deals, it's sick. Bad Empanada has great vids about the Palestinian genocide by Israel and he resources his vids heavily, it's overwhelming how terrible Israel is being literally murdering young kids with headshots or drone bullets and intentionally bombing civilian infrastructure with or without warning. Everyone is stuck in the Judeo-Christian viewpoint that Jews are oppressed by Muslims and can do no wrong, and they see Arabic people as subhuman and low-key terrorists even though 99% of them are just regular people like me or anyone else, trying to live and be safe. And of course they hate Israel, they are being and have been oppressed for a long time and now it's extremely violent. Ppl should put themselves in their shoes, if someone was doing that to us it would be horrifying right? But people don't care and they don't care to challenge their world views. I don't support Hamas or killing of civilians. Palestinians have the right to defend themselves against the IDF. But so many regular civilians are dying, and that's on the US. I cried reading some of the names out loud on Al Jazeeras video of killed Palestinians. Sooo many names on there and hundreds and hundreds of names of people that were listed "0 years old". I have a son that is 11 months old named Jack. He is the greatest person and the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Each one of those names of zero year olds are Jack. They are all amazing babies to someone and have two people who loved them more than anything else in the world but we're violently murdered and there's no excuse and it needs to stop but the US is complicit, I have also come to think that adults who don't realize the horror or realize it but don't do anything are or don't care are complicit like the Omelas citizens who carried on. Anyways, thank you for your kind responses and the great reading of this important story. Lol I was really long winded but thank you or you read this far, I subbed 👍 what would you do in this story?

Excellent work very well performed, but ruined by such an ill-timed commercial.

Thank you for your comment. It is not the first of its kind. I have gone and removed the offending commercial! You are right - it was a poor decision to place it there. I like your description, "ill-timed". Thank you for taking a moment to leave the suggestion and the compliment. Josh
"Annoying TH-cam commercials" but you interrupt right in the middle with a commercial. It's a beautiful and important story but ehh let's just throw an add in there and complain about other ppls adds

I'm happy you recognize it as a beautiful and important story - that's why I went to the trouble to produce the content. I apologize for the TH-cam commercials. I can't control how many they put or how often. But since I am trying to run a business by making the content, commercials are something we just have to put up with. Unless you become a member! Then you don't have to suffer through the pesky commercials, or the pesky me offering the non-commercial content in a mid-roll commercial! Thank you, honestly, for taking the time to watch the video. Josh
Thanks for the kind response 👍, I think should have realized the business perspective, you voiced it really well I was just really into it and then abruptly taken out of it haha but thanks for the good content👍
Yeah, I already pay money that I worked hard for to not have ads. Kinda sucks when the person who made the video throws one in. I was really getting into the story and then "Hey, give me even more money!"
Thanks for the analysis! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Very helpful 😊
The US is Omelas in support Israel right now
I'm curious what you would do: would you leave? Would you stay? Would you free the child?

US has always been Omela… sacrificing groups of people in the name of prosperity.
Truth. I hope to leave for this very reason, and many more
