One idea I find really interesting is the possibility that the career system started as a form of self-defense in those districts. Train a handful of kids to excel in the games and give them the best chance of winning, while guaranteeing that the young or weak will never get reaped. I could definitely see a very community focused district like 2 coming up with that idea.
Same here the career system isn’t to give the capital a better show but to give the kids a better chance at winning
I like the idea, but I suspect with the level of surveillance and control the capital has they would shut it down immediately
@@book-hoarder5664that’s the thing. The capital saw that and how they that feeling of needing to be better for safety and started carving it into feeling superior like “sweet you’re doing our job for you” 😂 half the work was already gone to shift their mentality
@bryces.4204 I can see that. But I can also see Snow looking at it as defiance. At the moment, I’m not sure which way he’d lean: Allowing the “self defense culture” to foster naturally then indoctrinating it with propaganda (easier), or injecting the practice into district 2 himself and having full control over what direction it takes (more secure). I suspect the later with his want for complete mastery of the districts, but I’m not sure.
You also get more things for your people when your kids specifically trained to kill people in a seemingly battle focused culture win, and the kids get told they did good for the community by bringing them food, motivating them even more
“If you can systemically and successfully strip the humanity from a group of people you can justify essentially any atrocity against them.”
That was such a powerful and painful phrase.
especially with what’s going on now.. this is exactly what zionists are trying to do
unfortunately very relevant to current world events too.
This reeks of what’s happening in Gaza rn
I have a shortlist of groups nobody wants to acknowledge fit this bill that most would like to keep violently oppressing using any justification, no matter how few statistics back up their opinions. Seek the deepest darkest corners of your mind for the first few answers. You will try to justify the harm. I did. Have any guesses?
One thing about the career districts that i had never thought of until recently, is that people dont have to worry about their children or they themselves being reaped. They know that even if they are chosen that someone is going to volunteer. So at least the stone cutters can take as much tesserae as they need. It doesnt matter how many times their name is in, they arent going to have to fight in the games.
Si alguien se ofrece como voluntario no se dan teselas.
Not necessarily. District 4 is a career district and their male tribute in the 74th was about 12. Careers volunteer when they are at their peak, it stands to reason that every once in a while no career feels ready for the games, hence no one volunteers
@@OpossumOnTheMoon You are going by the movie. The District 4 male in the book was a career who volunteered, along with the D4 female too. The male just died in the bloodbath, likely taken off guard despite his training, and even then, Katniss remarks at how odd that is.
@@bravobang168 I’m kinda mixing the movie and book. In book the tributes from 4 aren’t given ages so I’m going based off age from the movie. I honestly didn’t remember Katniss referring to him as a career in the book, just that it’s rare from someone from a career district to die during the blood bath.
I hate that the movie changed district 4 so fundamentally because talking about stuff like this gets confusing.
I always had this theory about the class system in D2. I mean, you look at a lot of the "richer" and more privileged characters from Career Districts have names like "Cato," "Enobaria," "Cashmere," "Glimmer," and i think these names represent wealth, with connections to the Roman Empire and riches, and then the people in outlying districts have names more reminiscent of nature or their respective exports; "Katniss," "Dill," "Rue," " Lamina." This is why I always saw Cato and Clove as sort of representations of this class divide, with Cato being a powerful roman name. I've always seen people interpret Clove's name as the past-tense of "To Cleave, cut with a sharp object," and while i think this is definitely a good take I always end up seeing it as a representation of the plant clove, an aromatic spice that grows in little clusters. So I always imagined Cato being in the upper Peacekeeper Class, with Clove in the Stonemason class.
I wonder if D2 has a training facility for both classes. If Clove was from it a lower class she would have to be taken care of in the facility considering Katniss mentioning her being a lot heavier than her
I think that's a good possibility!@@astranova1674
In the books Cato cries for Clove demonstrating they were close. Most likely in the same class. Just a thought.
I think Clove is meant to be from the Latin word clavus, meaning nail. But I think its still possible she was from the stonemason class since her name is related to masonry.
I've always found District 2 such a interesting district along with 11 and 4. They're the so called Capitol loyalists who are brutes yet there are times you could see their humanity. Enobaria saying "give them a taste of their medicine" about the Capitol makes me wonder if not only impoverished citizens of the 2 are rebellious but also the Victors themselves.
Oh yeah, definitely the victors because many were sex trafficked
What interests you about 11 and 4?
Don't forget Lyme , the female victor from district 2 who led the rebellion in district 2
Im thinkung they might of meant 1 and 4, the other careers @@Killa_Suerte
@@Killa_Suerte4 being one of the career district despite being rebellious and how it really came forward as an career district. District 11 interests me because it really does parallel real life events and how they have the strongest tributes yet their people are being depraved of their very own products.
I really feel like if we ever get another book in the series what I want is the story of a hunger games career from district 2 going through the process to get into the games. I’d imagine there’s a lot of propaganda similar to how military recruiting in modern day promising a better future directed at the kids in this district. Probably also a lot of pressure and competition within the district to get the spots in the game with the academies having a rigorous round of training and eliminations.
I want them to also dive into Foir because I'm tired of fanon district 4 being seen as the real ones. They're careers too
Bro the GI Bill is an objectively good thing, don’t know how it’s “propaganda”.
@@andezong9565 It's propaganda because it gets people to join the military. There are a lot of people who only join the military to pay for college or get subsidised healthcare. If those benefits were available to everyone (regardless of whether they served), then you wouldn't get as many disadvantaged people signing up.
If you have ever listened to Tales of the Hunger Games fanfic on TH-cam I like their idea that they have mock non fatal hunger games with all volunteers to see who gets reaped
@@dannyiontton3669 probably
it’s clear you have such a deep understanding of anthropology and psychology and it’s so interesting to hear your perspective on the cultures of the various districts. i can’t wait to hear the rest!
i second this! lucky is the best pop media analyst out there
I think it's interesting the idea that District 2 has no class mobility in their district. Combine that with the fact that D2 has a very prominent Career Tribute program. My instinct is to say that the kids from the wealthier, "military" class in D2 have more access to Tribute training than those of the stone mason class. On top of that, it's said in the first book that D2 tributes are almost always volunteers. It makes for a situation where the upper class would always be the tributes (and therefore the winners) and the lower class may never have that chance if they don't have access to Career training and volunteering. Makes me wonder if there were more citizens of D2 willing to join the rebellion but couldn't because of the militarized upper class.
I think so because if I remember correctly in mockingjay there were pockets of people in D2 that joined the rebellion despite it being the last district to join the cause due to the loyalist.
Yuuup
I’m glad I randomly checked for the next district deep dive! Thank you for another awesome video!💕
The kicker with the School Lunch Act is a LOT of American schools try their best to do the literal bare minimum. However, it's chilling and disheartening to realize that without the act, they would do even less, to the point it became noticeable by the military when trying to muster...could probably write a thesis on the social impact that mental impairment had on not just those generations but the generations they raised even after the act was put into place.
True
I actually think D2 might of had the most class mobility compared to other districts. Compare their district to more poorer districts like 11 and 12, where even though there are class discrepancies there the differences are so small and seem more set, like caste systems. Katniss's mother choosing to marry a miner and give up her class status was considered unheard of and it seems her mother's family disassociated from her after doing so. We don't hear of any opportunities in 12 to become a part of the (I think they were called the merchant class?) All of the businesses in 12 seem to be generationally run family businesses, Peeta's dad was a baker and Peeta and his brothers were expected to take over with zero mention of any other career opportunities. You either inherit the trade of your parent, were luckily resourceful, or starved.
The only clear example of upward class mobility we see in the series is Sejanus's family who were able to become capital citizens, a privilege I'm sure other extremely wealthy D2 families were able to ascertain. D2 seems to have to most access into the capitol, intermingling with their citizens and resources. If the class system within 2 is peacekeepers vs stonemasons with career trainees coming out of peacekeeper trainee pools, I could imagine if a stone mason child volunteers or applies to enter a career trainee program some might be allowed to enter the programs on scholarship. I feel like if any kid was actually willing to volunteer and train they'd be seen as a hero to the district. In career districts volunteering for the games is seen as a chance for upward mobility to become rich and famous, a stark contrast to other poorer districts who don't have these established training programs for the chance to be a victor or in a "seemingly" desired career path as a peacekeeper. I think this mirrors our society with how the military markets recruitment as a chance for upward mobility and more opportunity, and heavily recruits in lower income neighborhoods. Although based on the way the rebellion played out, kids from the stone mason class who actively tried to join the peacekeeper class may have been seen as class traitors.
District 5 needs a deep dive after 3 and 4 since they are also right across to the capital and the district 5 tribute from the first film clearly was smart enough to survive until near the end
True
LOVING THIS SERIES! Can’t wait for more, your analysis is always so on point 🥰
Can’t wait for your analysis of districts 5, 6, and 9, we barely get any word of these districts from the series at all.
every time i watch your videos, i find myself emotional all over again with the adoration i have for this series. your videos are amazingly well created, you absolutely never miss
The best description of "The Nut" in our time is Kendall Mountain in Silverton, CO. In the heart of what District 2 would be is Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado, which would be South and Middle District 2, as the local people work adobe, turquoise, and many rock quarries and uranium mines on the Navajo Nation. I am convinced that the District Seat of 2 is in the historic town of Silverton.
I wish she mentioned how the capitol treats districts 1 and 2 differently. I always assumed both were the favorite
these deep dives are so good! cant wait for the next ones
the mario graphics...you're a genius.
I was hoping someone else would mention it, it’s so good!! 😂
Just watched the District 1 and 2 videos back to back - these are really well-analyzed and written, great job! I’m looking forward to seeing subsequent videos on the rest of the districts!
Your analysis are always fun to watch! Also your voice is so pleasent to hear!
I was waiting for the next video in this series!!!! Love it!
Hooray! District 3 will be turning up before you know it!
Yay! I am super excited to see that you're continuing the series! ❤
Great job I hope we get to hear about all the districts! You have a real talent in making clips
Banger as always! I love hearing your unique thoughts on this series
These analysis are really awesome! can’t wait to see more!!
Just binged all your hunger games videos! Can't wait for the next one 😊
Hi Lucky! I’m hard of hearing but I adore your videos. I’d love to be able to work with you and create captions for your content if possible!
I've been looking to hire a captionist! Shoot an email to luckyleftiebusiness@gmail.com and I'd be happy to speak with you!
Wow I love your voice and format. You are the reason I got into hunger games, never watched them but you got recommended to me out of the blue and I was drawn into a universe that I had never experienced. Buying the books.
i love your interpretations of sejanus and the cultural importance of food!! that’s a super cool point!!
Banger video! Love your analysis! The way you connect your thoughts so clearly makes these videos a delight to watch
this is the highlight of my week ☺️
I can't believe Mario RPG takes place in District 2
The Fallout 4 clip was -chef's kiss-
LOVE THIS SERIES!!! Please keep it up ❤❤
would love if you'd also make a video on the capitol!
YES! I absolutely NEED to see a Capitol deep dive, they fascinate me!
Loving the series rn
I love how a lot of tributes all have the same goal in mind “fuck the capital and we will do everything to harm them while not harming ourself
You should get hired for these tbh with supplemented graphics
District 2 is the only one that actually trains their "careers" properly. District 4 are just raised that way naturally
Interesting idea about the Nut being a converted old mine! I just always assumed it was NORAD
District two interests me so much
ohhh nooo he starved to death! someone get the bread
Oh yea. It’s all coming together.
I love this series!
10:10 this reminds me of how Israelis talk about Palestinians....
5:11 dying at the clip choice 😂
Hey lucky! I really enjoy your videos. I was wondering if you had an opinion on what story you like to see from the author next. Obviously she had said that she only feels like “speaking” when she has something to say/add to the story. I feel like maybe I saw a TikTok of yours explaining how we don’t really need to see Haymitches hunger games (maybe that wasn’t you). I’d love to hear what you think!
These are great! do you have primary resources other than the books? this is new lore to me, I love it.
In terms of the anount of victors each career district had, I'd say district 1 had 11, District 2 12, and District 4 8. 1 and 2 it makes sense. But for 4 it's less in comparison since tributes from 5,7,9,10, and 11 probably proved to be more than a match for the district 4 tributes in previous games
Oh I love listening to you and loved the shorter vids on tiktok
YESS A NEW UPLOAD AMAZING AS ALWAYS !!
4:49 is sendinggg me
I’m obsessed w u ❤️❤️
Omg Im addicted take your time but please keep it up 😢

Great video. I wait patiently for your theory on district 11- Azure Tv
The script for that one is still being written as we speak and it is GIGANTIC. Definitely one of the one's I'm most looking forward to uploading!
@@thefourthsalukiyesss district 11 is so interesting, my absolute fave
i was waiting forn this one!!! loved it
My favourite district
It would have been great if Sejanus had survived nas escaped, forming strong rebel base in d2, with his offspring joining revolution with Katniss. And if Snow and Sejanus meet and confront as old men in mockingjay...
I thought the nut was the late Cheyenne mountain space force station aka norad aka stargate command
Nevada is not East of the Rocky Mountains. And it does not border Colorado.
That makes me head hurt
the minecraft clip is sending me
Since you have to have secondary education to take the officer test, does that mean all Peacekeeper officers are from the Capitol rather than the districts?
I didn’t think I would ever say this, but please start a podcast
OMMGGGGC I NEEEEEEDD MORE
I love this analys;
The scariest district
WHY DID SABYN HAVE TO DIE SO EARLY IN THE MOVIE WE DIDNT EVEN SEE HER DIE SHES MY FAV DISTICT TWO PERSON SHE WASNT EVOL LOKE THE REST
Can't believe I got here so fast
Where is the clip from 0:39 with saying how to fight from?
Capital ministry of information Captial Tv where can u watch that i cant find it anywhere

Do you have a patreon yet?
What is the population of this district?
Bro your microphone mad quite
🖤
Fallout 76?
The division of the Pace keeper it could interest between the Capital and D2. Capital keeper may only have like 6 year’s contract with a big sign up bonus and good healthcare welfare and pension and post contract benefits. A furred divide could a poorer Capital citizen( middle class) for upwards mobility and a career officer.
Where D2 are recruited from Pace keeper families or drafted from the wider district depending on recruiting gaps. D2 pace keeper have a 25 year contract and offer getting extended. Is paid 33% of a Capital with limited benefits but get to live in the nicer pace keeper villages. Leaves is limited with 2 weeks. Highest ruck is a lieutenant near the end their career.
4 MINUTES AGO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lets go. I'm FIrst
Welcome! Enjoy the show!
this is the highlight of my week ☺️
