Hey, kids
Today, we're gonna learn about the world
The world that's around
us is pretty amazing
But how does it work? It
must be comp uh licated
The secret is the world can only work
When everything works together
A bee drinks from a flower
and leaves with its pollen
A squirrel in a tree spreads
the seeds that have fallen
Everything works together
The biggest elephant, the littlest fly
The gophers underground,
the birds in the sky
And every single cricket,
every fish in the sea
Gives what they can and
gets what they need
That is how the world works
That is how the world works
From A to Zebra to the worms in the dirt
That's how it works
Hey, everyone, look who stopped
by to say hello! It's Socko!
Hey!
Where you been, Socko?
I've been where I always am when
you're not wearing me on your hand: in
a frightening, liminal space between
states of being! Not quite dead,
not quite alive! It's similar to a
constant state of sleep paralysis
Socko, we were just talking
about the world and how it works
Boy, that sounds complicated!
Do you have anything you'd want
to teach us about the world?
I wouldn't say anything that you
probably haven't already said yourself
I don't know about that, Socko.
How about you give it a try?
Alright!
The simple narrative taught
in every history class
Is demonstrably false and
pedagogically classist
Don't you know? The world is built with
blood! And genocide and e ploitation!
The global network of capital
essentially functions
To separate the worker from
the means of production
And the FBI killed Martin Luther King
Private property's inherently theft
And neoliberal fascists
are destroying the left
And every politician,
every cop on the street
Protects the interests of the
pedophilic corporate elite
That is how the world works
Really?
That is how the world works
Genocide the Natives,
say you got to it first
That's how
It Works
That's pretty intense
No shit!
What can I do to help?
Read a book or something, I don't
know. Just don't burden me with
the responsibility of educating
you. It's incredibly e hausting!
I'm sorry, Socko. I was just
trying to become a better person
Why do you rich f g white people
insist on seeing every socio political
conflict through the myopic lens of
your own self actualization? This
isn't about you! So either get with
it or get out of the f g way!
Watch your mouth, buddy. Remember
who's on whose hand here
But that's what I Have you not been
f g listening? We are entrenched in
Alright! Alright! Wait, wait, wait!
No, please! I don't wanna go back,
please! I can't go I can't go
back! Please! Please. I'm sorry
Are you gonna behave yourself?
Yes
"Yes," what?
Yes, sir
Look at me
Yes, sir
That's better
That is how the world works
That is how the world works
I hope you learned your lesson!
I did, and it hurt!
That's how
It works...
No! No!
