I always wondered why they didn’t have a Persian kill the Babylonian and instead chose to have the Macedonian do it?

Mods I know this is borderline forbidden topics but please let It be and just block the thread if it becomes dirty, this is so good and so beautiful in a terrifying way. Also I don’t know if OP is the creator of that video but it’s very good.

I love this video. I’ve watched it many times. In fact, I stumbled upon the countryball version of it earlier today.
Aside from being a great song and animation, it has a great and poignant message. Unfortunately I don’t think the ending is that far fetched nowadays

What a beautiful singer and composition
I’m not going to touch the content with a 10-foot pole, but I bet there’s a list somewhere of every group depicted there

I know people are going to flip their shit over this video, but from an artistic POV, it was a nice touch to have the Grim Reaper sing the final “this land is mine.” 🤌🏻
Thus far, the comments are civil. I give it an hour and a half

This video seems to imply this is something unique to this land, while a video with the exact same type of process and narrative could be made about most places on the planet. There would be very few exceptions, mostly with places that were settled by humans very late in history (like Hawaii and New Zealand).

that place is actually mine

I feel that it’s interesting that in the end we find out it was actually Death singing the song while others were just lip syncing

I love how the last person to say “this land is mine” is the angel of death looking directly into the camera

The irony of calling it the ‘holy lands’ is not lost on me. What a terrible part of the earth to exist in. Let THEM squabble over it.

If you’re curious, the song is titled “The Exodus Song” and originates from the massively successful zionist film “Exodus” from the 1960s(which has been cited as contributing to America becoming Pro-Israel during that time)
This specific cover is from later, by Andy Williams.

I would like to point out that, for the majority of these conquests, it was not the average person that was replaced, but the ruling class. The Romans installed Roman government over the region’s existing inhabitants, unlike the zionists who have been systematically eliminating and replacing the population. Pretending like these are at all equivalent plays directly into the hands of the liberal zionist narrative and works to legitimize the genocidal state of israel as just another group that wants to control the territory, rather than a project of genocide she settler colonialism

**Comin’ again to save the motherfuckin’ day, yeah**
**America, FUCK YEAH!**
**Freedom is the only way!**
