“why aren't you a bit more open to what other people think - I don't care what you think“ This sums up our current situation way better than I'm comfortable with
@@arjunarunkumar3097 here in Germany, it's quite hyperbolic. The left preaches tolerance and doesn't tolerate anything left of Stalin.

@@ajasdeathdrop1556 well, this video has nowhere written whether it is criticising far left or far right . But you got so fucking offended by it that you decided to shit in every Fucking thread. I bet anything right of you is far right to you. The reason why this vid offended you is because it is a blatant self reflection that you can see in it. And you hate it. You are probably a socialist looser who want everyone to help him but has nothing as an individual to offer to the world. Keep eating your collective coolaid.
Here is my interpretation, please bear in mind English is not my native language so there may be some mistakes: Blake represents a capitalist, he has a lot of money at the beginning. Neel (worker) represents an employee which has nothing at the beginning. Emma represents a hard worker, she has enough for a work permit and a bit more. Amy represents a SJW activist, she is Emma's friend, doesn't really care about work and spends her time complaining about social rights. She doesn't have enough for a work permit, but Emma lends her money so she can buy one. The woman on the screen represents the media or the government socialist's ideas. The guy giving the pills and the drinks is a civil servant. The orange pill and the blue drink represent consumer goods. First, Blake buys a labor license and 2 work permits, he then uses the labor license to employ Neel and the two permits so they both can work. That is what makes Blake a capitalist, he uses his money to make Neel work for him and he pays him with pills, while he buys drinks for himself with the money his company (Neel as the employee, and him as the Boss) makes. Then we can see how Emma is responsible and saves money (3000) while Amy doesn't save anything so the civil servant is concerned about this. Amy complains about how Blake isn't treating Neel right and protests that something must be done. Listening to Amy's complains, the civil servant tells Blake that he can't keep being a capitalist because it isn't right for Neel, so he stops employing Neel and takes away his work permit (the keyboard), leaving Neel without a job, unable to do anything. After that, Neel keeps living out of social care payed using taxes (the most productive workers give three to the less productive ones) and debt, Amy also starts leeching from the system, spending more than she makes even with the social help. Blake doesn't care anymore and starts buying favors from the public worker (representing corruption) and spending more than he can afford, before the system takes it from him. In this situation, Blake, Amy and Neel are in debt and the only one with savings is Emma. Neel has started working with Emma against her will, in a desperate attempt from the government to boost the productivity, but it is all in vain. In the end, the government ends up taking all of the Emma's savings to pay off the debt, rendering all of them equal. After that, Emma also doesn't care anymore and just stops working hard and starts spending into debt like everyone else. Blake, who saw this from the beginning, just says "cheers". Who is guilty here? That's for you to figure out.
After watching the video 2 times. This is exactly what i thought of. The video portrays the suicidal socialist idea where everyone ends up losing motivation to work because of the so called "equality". Pure socialism or Pure capitalism is both detrimental and suicidal at the end, our society should be in between.
@@gffusgddghfhxvh6557 Guy with the bag is only doing what was voiced for. These are groups of people, remember. Amy is the group of SJWs, Emma is the group of hard workers, Blake is the companies, and Neel is the immigrants. Amy is the only one who voted for something to change, because Blake is a company, and therefor cannot vote, Neel is an immigrant, and therefor cannot vote, and Emma is too busy working for herself to notice the conversations of change around her. She just wants to get to her goal, and she knows how to do it with the system that is in place. Even though Amy's ideas weren't good, she was the only one who was voting and so the changes were in consequence of what she wanted. Sadly, even though Emma (the hard worker) was the only one who was working hard (because neel was unable due to the changes amy {aka SJWs] made), she was punished because she was too busy to voice herself.
I understand the meaning of this film. Its stating that our equality system is actually unequal and unjust, because while Emma was working hard and making tons of savings, her other three counterparts were putting the company in debt. Even though she made up for that by working three times as hard, the company's leader offset her profit in the end to pay off the debt incurred by the other three workers. In the end when she takes a drink, she has started to rest in her workplace (which she hadn't done till that point) and she goes into debt as well because of that. The moral of the story is that our equality system is destroying peoples willpower to work and decreasing productivity through its dogmatic redemers.
this is going to sound nerdy af but: that's exactly what happened with the Roman empire. They began to develop a sense of apathy because of the ease of the government and if you look at the art throughout roman history, the older stuff is significantly more detailed. Scary stuff
Thank-you for explaining this. I'm watching this when I'm super tired, and I'm so confused and have no clue as to what's going on. Now that I've read your explanation, though, it suddenly all makes sense. Thanks again. :)
@@CyclingM1867 reading this comment 5 years later, I can't help but be drawn to the fact how much this sounds like a communism vs capitalism thing haha
The amount of angles to look for in the skit is mind boggling .. From racism, stereotyping to gender equality wars and finally the major plot of Socialist suicide system.
Blake is big corporations. Emma is the real workers Amy is a socialist/communist Guy in bag is government Neel is immigrants (Emma said something about a wall, *trump) Girl in TV is media Drinks and Pills are necessities to live. Savings are taxes Notice how Neel works for Blake, and if Neel can't work well he takes his job away while Amy, the socialist/communist says Blake is unfair and takes him in and force the government to give him drinks. As long as big corporations give the government a piece of their reward, the government virtually don'y care (blake give the guy in the bag a drink, and even his savings are negative, the government still give him drinks) Emma, the real worker end up paying all the debt while others just care about their own thing. Amy tries to fix things, but FAILS in the end. This is one of the most underrated videos ever, deepest ever.
Pills are necessities to live, that's why the richest (Emma) must buy it but the poorest (Amy) take it for free from government. Drinks are luxury products and everybody must buy it if they want them (creating debt).
Avicenna the production, the acting, and concepts are spectacular. Just because I may not understand a few symbolic things, I still understand the basic concept.
Post modernism in short. Angry leftists making corporates replace their employees, free handouts, trickle down economies, stealing workers money to save the economy. This is painfully real
What to remember: "Its a human right to succed". "You should be more open and i dont care what you think" "I think i deserve therefore i do deserve" "Everyone is so weak and dependent, also i need your help" "Your life is sad, painfull (etc), we should make a movie about your life so everyone can know how sad your life is, youre such a good man" "If you say anything against it youre literally h¡tler" "You are independent and capeble of anything, i will make sure of that" "There is only about money with naz¡s like you" "What you *earn* will be given to someone else"
I had to watch it more than once. Now I can safely say: In the end they're all getting drunk on safety - not just the entitled (Amy), the disenfranchised (worker), and the privileged (Blake) - in the end it's also the hard worker (Emma). Once she realized that there is no purpose for her in a system that is all about safety. Safety = no one should suffer = go for equity = all have to suffer. The end of the movie probably marks the tilting point of the system. The debt is payed for now, but because from now on nobody will produce output anymore and everybody will get drunk on safety, the system will collapse and pretty soon the nutrient pills will stop coming in. People will start to go hungry. Only thing I can't quite figure out is why it is called "Emma and Amy" - is there a meaning hidden in the title? Or is it that these two mainly represent the "cultural polarity"? I'm not sure.
Emma and Amy are deliberately abstract to make you think about the underlying concepts and mechanisms rather then political or ideological slogans. It is meant to lead your way from tribal political or ideological groupthink and make people examine underlying values and concepts. Especially in America the people have been exhibiting very tribal behaviours based on ideological slogans like patriarch Democrat Republican SJW etc. This has led to tribal mob mentality is rather then understanding of cultural processes and values. There is no hidden in the meaning. The names chosen to sound common so that people could identify with all of the characters at some point in their life. Ascribing Group identities like Republican Democrat Marxist Socialist capitalist this part of the problem. Crowds and group identities did not necessarily offer safety. We each have agency to shape our destiny. Life is what you make of it. And you should take responsibility for it as an individual.
“Literally Hitler!” 😂 She delivered that line with PERFECT comedic timing! You guys are brilliant. Always have to watch it a few times to get it all, but always great stuff!!!
This is vague to the point that it's difficult to even discern what is going on. The social commentary is pretty apparent, but, what is actually happening? What's the plot?
@@mathieul4303 Okayyyy.... and?.... read We or 1984 or Brave New World.... the rules of the world and the basic plot and general happenings are well established. You're not left sitting there wondering "what just happened?" when it's all over. That's the difference. What is happening in this video?
Was going to comment this Edit 1: after pausing on that B-L-O-O-D screen, it looks like this : instead of doing work, 3 of the workers are constantly buying 'nutrient pills' and 'safety drinks' and end up getting heaps of debt, and only emma is doing work and by the end, she even saves up enough for a workplace. But since the company is in debt due to the poor management which is probably caused by the sjw 'I think I deserve it therefore I do' mentality, the boss decides to use all of emma's hard earned $ to instead pay off the debts of the other 3 workers to keep the company afloat. The slackers essentially stole from the rich to keep the lazy alive, which is probably in reference to some marxist ideology that arizes through the extreme left way of thought (Edit 2: communism. why did i not think that immediately lmao). I also thought the film was quite vague, and was much longer than it needed to be. Though I would like to see what other people think
People in 2018: "You should be more open to other people's thoughts and ideas!" Also people in 2018: "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!!!" Ah, I like the direction we are all headed.
They took away Neel’s keyboard because Amy thought he was being exploited. Then he was just given booze. Also the sjw treated him like her baby, or her lover, because she felt sorry for him and wanted to see him succeed. Was he sitting with the gambler because they were closer ideologically, and eventually moved because he was converted by the sjw’s endless empathy and the fact that she wouldn’t let the gambler voice is opinions? Then he got his keyboard back, and was brought into the girl’s area for diversity. The hard working girl, Emma, didn’t like this because it was different, but her concerns were overruled similarly for the sake of diversity. The gambling chad was a character I wasn’t quite sure about. He wasn’t a particularly hard worker and had bad habits, but we’re also meant to feel sympathy for him because he’s the only one disagreeing with the sjw. I’m confused about who the salesman was. Was he the government? A supplier? HR? Their boss? What is clear is that the sjw uses his feelings for her to accomplish her political aims, she being the only one in the office who has any. So he is the useful idiot cucks that sjw women tolerate as “allies.” But he serves other roles in the story as well. Emma was the only one who made all the right choices, and also happened to be female, so she wasn’t targeted by the sjw. She didn’t do drugs, didn’t get involved in politics, and worked her ass off. But in the end, she never got to see the fruits of her labor, as it was just used to prop up the socialist workplace. Her part in the story was to show that if you just work without caring about the place you’re working in and making sure your work is actually going where it’s intended to, you’ll end up spinning your wheels. This piece wasn’t really meant to be enjoyed at all in a comedic sense. But it was an interesting allegory to workplaces built with Marxist, identity politics ideals.
In some cases, you don't feel empathetic towards anyone. In some cases everyone is bad. I think the most redeemable character is emma, but even she just seemed like an obedient cog in the machine.
@@nathanielatkin304 Did she actually get ordered to do anything? And even when she did comply and let Worker work alongside her, it was only toward the goal of remaining employed, so that she could save up enough to buy the workplace and actually have real control. She was a woman who was being strong and independent, and so she wasn't targeted by Amy, unlike Worker and Chris.
Blake is a capitalist. Yes, he got his money from gambling, to represent his hypocrisy when he says that everyone gets what they deserve. But the point is, he is using his money to employ Neel (lending him a labour license for 1000 and a work permit for 100), that makes him a capitalist. The SJW deems this unfair, so she makes the civil servant (the salesman) "free" him from the oppression of the capitalist, leaving him without money or work, living on "safety" from the system (blue drinks). Being male or female here is irrelevant, it was just a stupid argument from the SJW.
Gambler is capitalist as he is "giving kick backs" to the government (the bag guy) then you had immigrant the socialist then the hard worker who ultimately pays for everyones decisions.
At first i was confused but during the middle i started to realise a lot of things. As mentioned in the comments, the 4 workers represent different social groups - an honest and hard worker (Emma), a capitalist (the man in blue), a minority (neel) and a liberal/sjw who promotes communism. This story is an example of what will happen (and maybe even has happened) if undereducated people start preaching their agenda and win. The system either collapses or gets leveled out by the workforce who then realise their efforts are pointless (and start drinking alkohol, no longer caring about the future, the SJW panics).
@@ladycatfish2896 "if the system collapses"? you may be thinking about the future, but right now it is full functioning, and there are many prisons that would gladly take you in, so watch your mouth

Miss this channel so much.. Neel You gotta give us more content ma man. Love your "black mirror" style videos. This one was particularly interesting 1984-ish, dystopian, a bit obfuscated although i like when i have to 'work' a little to get the meaning behind the scenes. Covers themes such as meritocracy, perceived value, communism, socialism, propaganda, ideological subversion AND of course IMO the darkest one of all... The Pareto principle, The 80/20 rule. The unfortunate realization that, whatever we define success as, only around 20% will be responsible for producing 80% of the value in any complex system. This outcome may very well be a just/fair outcome, however difficult this maybe for humans to perceive or accept. The implication is: 20% would justly earn 80% of the rewards, and hence inequality is produced by a just system. People can't seem to get over that hump and accept it or compete for another outcome.
Well the implication of interpreting this view "straight" would be that 80% of the people are just doomed to death by starvation because they're not successful enough? I mean, that just systems will put some above others is a no-brainer, the interesting question to ask is what do you do with the unsuccessful people.
@@Blaze6108 That's a bit extreme, i dont think the Pareto principal matches this example. its to extreme, 80% would be producing 20% of the value and hence, be LESS successful however not to the point of starvation at all... I think the question you are really trying to get at is this. What do we do with the 10% of any population that are virtually unemployable, low IQ, can't take direction/instruction. Those are the unsuccessful people society has no answer for,
It isn't. No country is like this anymore, precisely because it's well-known not to work. It's an interesting commentary for sure, but linking it to any existing reality would just make a huge strawman.
I'm a bit late to the party, but I just stumbled upon this video, so I thought I migt give my own intepretation, as lot of people did, based on my own understanding of the video and help from reading other interpretations (had some trouble catching everything that is said as I'm not native english speaker ahahaha). I'm sorry that it's a bit long tho. From what I see: - Those nutrient pills seem to represent the necessary to live, hence all of them have to take them - I'm not completely sure about what the safety drinks represent, but they seem to work as something of luxury and dependency. It is not necessary but highly addictive. It could maybe represent alcohol, drugs, unnecessary consumer goods, ... But I'm pretty unsure about this one. - The screen with the girl speaking in advertisements represents the medias, that encourage the global hysteria and extreme opinions on the social medias, supporting the idea that talking loud is enough to legitimaze a "truth", rather than actual facts. It also encourages strong sense of individualism, inherited from the capitalist society. - The guy with the bag represents the government, hesitating and being mostly influenced by the ideas of those who are influencial. - Blake represents the higher ups of the Capitalist system and the big corportations. He is in a good situation from the start and remains in the green without having to work much, being even able to afford luxury stuff (the drinks). He knows well all the tricks with the current capitalist system and knows how to exploit them. You can see how he has strong ties with the power, and uses corruption when things start to go bad for him. He's pretty apathic, self-centered, and has convinced himself with the delusional idea that he deserves what he has because he's a "winner", so he feels legitimate. Globally, he doesn't care about others until the moment some changes are brought to the system, which threatens his position and influence, that are completely dependent on his ability the exploit the current system. - Neel (The Worker) represents migrants, who arrive with pretty much nothing and is ready for anything to be able to work and live, despite him not being very qualified (you can see how he types slowly). In the beginning, he lets himself being exploited by Blake, by having a labour license and work permit bought for him and then working under the name of Blake (the "+1"). As such, he doesn't save anything for himself and his production goes to Blake, but atleast he receives the most basic necessary to live (the pills). But the fact that he receives it from Blake means that he basically doesn't exist on the system and is completely dependent on the one who exploits him. But he shuts up and goes along with it as long as he can live. When the situation changes and he's left by himself, he can't manage to find work, so he just get more and more indebted and start being dependant on the drink. However, he's aware of how hopeless is situation is, you can see around 11:30 the look of disillusionment on his face as he purchases a drink and sees his saving going a bit further in the negative. He doesn't want the pity of Amy, and is even disturbed at how she appropriates his own suffering and consider it her own, after distorting it. And even when he's pity-accepted as a worker again, he's already too addicted to drinks to ever manage to gain any savings. He never has a say in anything and just accepts his situation. - Amy represents the sjws. She starts on the same level as Emma and works normally (albeit slower), but she pays more attention to people around her. When she notices how the migrant worker is being exploited by Blake, she suddenly shows her sjw side and violently denounces it, creates controversy, forcing the government to make this situation stop. However, she doesn't propose any alternative solution to it. But feeling like she's denouncing an injustice makes her feel good in her conscience and completely oblivious to how she actually made the migrant life worse. Whenever Blake tries to speak out loud against it, she threatens to creates controversy, to shut him up. Later on, you can see how she is completely delusional about how the life of Neel really is. Truth is she doesn't truly care about him, she doesn't even listen to him, but seeing him like that makes her feel guilty. So in order to chase the guilt away, she appropriates his suffering and blame it all on Blake. She then strays even further in delusion by distorting the situation of Neel and mixing it up with her sjw ideas (the whole gay, muslim, trans, ... privilege points). Overall, she just keeps feeding her good conscience and ego by using the migrant's suffering as a tool and denouncing everything while letting others deal with the consequences (the migrant has to deal with being left on his own, Emma has to deal with the integration of the migrant at her work). She ends up completely losing track with reality and money, and drowns in dependence with the drink. She finally snaps out of her denial the moment her friend is affected by the crisis, making her realize too late how powerless and deep in shit she actually is. - Emma is a more "neutral" person. She accepts the current system and the current situation, and is gonna work hard to save up and buy a place of her own through the capitalist system. However, she is highly individualistic and is only concerned about her own savings, being blind, or choosing to be blind, to what happens around her. She probably noticed the miserable situation of the migrant, how he was being exploited, and then how hopeless he was, but she chose to ignore it so that she can focus on her own situation and not have good conscience problems like her friend Amy. However, the actions of the government provocated by Amy's protests make her feel more and more uneasy about it. One time when new taxes are introduced, and another time when she is forced to work with the migrant. This makes her feel uneasy because this time it does encroach her comfort zone, and might make her realize that she is only tolerant as long as she's not the one having to deal with migrants. However, she never speaks up because she doesn't wanna do anything that could threaten her stability. In the end, when the government, who had been more and more influenced and cuckholded by the sjw controversy generated by Amy, uses the excuse of "equality" to use her savings to pay the global debt, she finally wanna protest because now she is directly affected. However, there is nothing she can do, because after all, she let all that bullshit happening around her without saying a word. That's when she becomes disillusioned and starts drinks dependency. Overall, I don't see any of them as a righteous person. Amy isn't the only one who is in the wrong, she is just more exposed to being the one speaking the loudest.
This is literally the most educating thing I have ever seen in the whole Internet. I think everyone should see it, and every student shall pass an exam of understanding it, otherways they will not end school with positive note, and will have no option to start the business or apply for a job. Understand it, or die - this way or another, but don't force other people to be taken down with you!
"Maybe you should be more concerned and more open to other's thoughts and ideas" "Well.." "I don't care what you think! Don't care..." That bit of comedic gold sums it up perfectly lol
Amy: Maybe you should be a little bit more concerned and open about other people's thoughts and ideas? Blake: well I think- Amy: I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK Me: Wat?
I think many of you have excellent analysis of the characters, but I feel like the woman on the television has more meaning than people are attributing to her. She is not only propaganda, but all news as a whole. She tells everybody what they want to hear without actually addressing the problems. Nobody is actually addressing the problems, but are caught up in the bickering that takes place. It's a comment on all aspects of our current factional system.
Wow that actor really made me hate that feminist/sjw character. Really good job. Its unfortunate the people that actually believe this sjw stuff will never see this and label neel as a brown nazi.
@@rithikkumars1676 Oh now i remember. It was on the 3.5/4gb ram comment. And the 101k subs on the Curious elephant channel. so we have met twice before :D
Neel you are an effing genius. You really know how to deliver a message. I admire your work, please continue. This kind of storytelling is an absolute necessity in today’s twisted world. Keep it up!
9:06 "Let it trickle down," lmao Also I think the short is named Emma and Amy because they are the focus, and most of the problems ensue because they don't communicate as well as the opening suggests. At the beginning, they are shown as equals, sitting opposite each other, encouraging and comforting each other about the future. As time goes on, they rarely--and eventually cease to--communicate anymore. Based on other comments, it's safe to say Amy represents the vocal left-wing activists with empty promise (and even the artist crowds like Hollywood or indie filmmakers) and Emma is the hard-working blue collar who is indifferent to politics (I think most of the comments overlook Emma's attitude). They should've cooperate to make the space a better place, but in reality activism and the average white workers usually ignore each other or talk past each other, while the former aims its poison at big capitalists and the government. It's futile because in practice Emma is the most powerful force that can bring forth the changes needed.
Though you are intelligent enough to admit your current limitations instead of just screaming a buzzword. I missed EVERYTHING the first time i watched it, except the blatant SJW and the Ministry of Truth Propaganda but couldnt put it all in context. Iv scrolled down from the top of the comments and read the first 3 different analyses. Each with unique insights. I respect you for admitting that you dont understand. There would be many here in these comments that dont. An hour ago, i didnt. Scroll down, most people just give away their current "political bias" for want of a better term. We all play our part on this stage.
I really appreciate your work. I literally went through a 3 month class driven by cooperate for a fortune 500 company. they tried to brainwash me. worst 3 months of my life.
My personal explanation. Amy is American culture, Emma is the working class. The man handing out the pills and blue liquid is our government. The pills represent either the pharmaceutical companies or "the Red Pill" even tho it's orange but i digress. The blue liquid seems to represent socialism or beliefs in socialism. Also the early days of feminism as well. As you can see, when Amy continues to drink the liquid, she becomes more socialist. Neil represents minorities in America as well. The screen is our media and our economy. The white guy wearing the collared shirts represents "Blue Collared White Men". Pretty much, because of Amy's (socialism) decisions, she continues to screw over Emma to the point where the man (aka the government) decides to take Emma's property (her money) to take care of the work place (aka our economy) thus turning the work place into a full blown communist government. And as you can see, though she was idealistic, Amy didn't really want that cause she loved the spoils Emma provided. When Emma drinks the blue liquid, that means the working class has fallen to communist in the name of "equality" meaning Amy and Emma will be forced to work the same hours, with the same pay, while not being able to own their own property at all as it is now surrendered to the company in its entirety. They no longer gain the benefits of the company.
3 of the workers are constantly buying 'nutrient pills' and 'safety drinks' and end up getting heaps of debt, and only emma is doing work and by the end, she even saves up enough for a workplace. But since the company is in debt due to the poor management which is probably caused by the sjw 'I think I deserve it therefore I do' mentality, the boss decides to use all of emma's hard earned $ to instead pay off the debts of the other 3 workers to keep the company afloat. The slackers essentially stole from the rich to keep the lazy alive, which is probably in reference to some marxist ideology that arizes through the extreme left way of thought (Edit 2: communism. why did i not think that immediately lmao).
I honestly thought Emma would be the antagonist (because she has blue hair) so that was a big surprise that she’s probably one of the only normal people
I wonder if this is about communism? How some people work harder than others but still get paid equally. The first part with Amy feels like how some people complain about equality in the workplace, but they don't do the work themselves becuase they are too busy complaining.
I would say this is more a commentary on the worst of sjw liberals, who take social issues to an extreme without being able to have a discourse or a critique of other systemic issues. Leftists hate these types of people for that reason, because people see this and think that all left wing critique is like this.
@@epicragequitdude No, you are equating sjws to lazy communists. Amy is extremely far left, I don't think sjw does it justice. She is a communist, giving into the system and loving it. Emma is working hard in that society, but gets paid nothing.
Love this, why can't we have intelligent and nuanced critique of the left hysteria in mainstream media? There it's either all left or stupid radical right.
Interesting concept, strange execution. I know it's not my place, but it should have been half as long time-wise, and the board could have been explained better earlier on.

Neel (worker) represents an employee which has nothing at the beginning.
Emma represents a hard worker, she has enough for a work permit and a bit more.
Amy represents a SJW activist, she is Emma's friend, doesn't really care about work and spends her time complaining about social rights. She doesn't have enough for a work permit, but Emma lends her money so she can buy one.
The woman on the screen represents the media or the government socialist's ideas.
The guy giving the pills and the drinks is a civil servant.
The orange pill and the blue drink represent consumer goods.
First, Blake buys a labor license and 2 work permits, he then uses the labor license to employ Neel and the two permits so they both can work. That is what makes Blake a capitalist, he uses his money to make Neel work for him and he pays him with pills, while he buys drinks for himself with the money his company (Neel as the employee, and him as the Boss) makes.
Then we can see how Emma is responsible and saves money (3000) while Amy doesn't save anything so the civil servant is concerned about this. Amy complains about how Blake isn't treating Neel right and protests that something must be done.
Listening to Amy's complains, the civil servant tells Blake that he can't keep being a capitalist because it isn't right for Neel, so he stops employing Neel and takes away his work permit (the keyboard), leaving Neel without a job, unable to do anything.
After that, Neel keeps living out of social care payed using taxes (the most productive workers give three to the less productive ones) and debt, Amy also starts leeching from the system, spending more than she makes even with the social help.
Blake doesn't care anymore and starts buying favors from the public worker (representing corruption) and spending more than he can afford, before the system takes it from him.
In this situation, Blake, Amy and Neel are in debt and the only one with savings is Emma. Neel has started working with Emma against her will, in a desperate attempt from the government to boost the productivity, but it is all in vain. In the end, the government ends up taking all of the Emma's savings to pay off the debt, rendering all of them equal. After that, Emma also doesn't care anymore and just stops working hard and starts spending into debt like everyone else.
Blake, who saw this from the beginning, just says "cheers".
Who is guilty here?
That's for you to figure out.
After watching the video 2 times. This is exactly what i thought of. The video portrays the suicidal socialist idea where everyone ends up losing motivation to work because of the so called "equality".
Pure socialism or Pure capitalism is both detrimental and suicidal at the end, our society should be in between.
That's beautiful. I think it's the best interpretation I've read so far
Amy is the one at fault, duh. She’s the reason why everyone lost money, plus she didn’t even work.
@@jamiecisfemalesheher5250 what about the guy with bag
@@gffusgddghfhxvh6557 Guy with the bag is only doing what was voiced for. These are groups of people, remember. Amy is the group of SJWs, Emma is the group of hard workers, Blake is the companies, and Neel is the immigrants. Amy is the only one who voted for something to change, because Blake is a company, and therefor cannot vote, Neel is an immigrant, and therefor cannot vote, and Emma is too busy working for herself to notice the conversations of change around her. She just wants to get to her goal, and she knows how to do it with the system that is in place. Even though Amy's ideas weren't good, she was the only one who was voting and so the changes were in consequence of what she wanted. Sadly, even though Emma (the hard worker) was the only one who was working hard (because neel was unable due to the changes amy {aka SJWs] made), she was punished because she was too busy to voice herself.
I understand the meaning of this film. Its stating that our equality system is actually unequal and unjust, because while Emma was working hard and making tons of savings, her other three counterparts were putting the company in debt. Even though she made up for that by working three times as hard, the company's leader offset her profit in the end to pay off the debt incurred by the other three workers.
In the end when she takes a drink, she has started to rest in her workplace (which she hadn't done till that point) and she goes into debt as well because of that.
The moral of the story is that our equality system is destroying peoples willpower to work and decreasing productivity through its dogmatic redemers.
this is going to sound nerdy af but: that's exactly what happened with the Roman empire. They began to develop a sense of apathy because of the ease of the government and if you look at the art throughout roman history, the older stuff is significantly more detailed. Scary stuff

WE
and corruption
Blake is big corporations.
Emma is the real workers
Amy is a socialist/communist
Guy in bag is government
Neel is immigrants (Emma said something about a wall, *trump)
Girl in TV is media
Drinks and Pills are necessities to live.
Savings are taxes
Notice how Neel works for Blake, and if Neel can't work well he takes his job away while Amy, the socialist/communist says Blake is unfair and takes him in and force the government to give him drinks. As long as big corporations give the government a piece of their reward, the government virtually don'y care (blake give the guy in the bag a drink, and even his savings are negative, the government still give him drinks) Emma, the real worker end up paying all the debt while others just care about their own thing. Amy tries to fix things, but FAILS in the end. This is one of the most underrated videos ever, deepest ever.
Pills are necessities to live, that's why the richest (Emma) must buy it but the poorest (Amy) take it for free from government. Drinks are luxury products and everybody must buy it if they want them (creating debt).
i feel like there’s so much symbolism in this but I can’t break it down.
Overall, great film!

Avicenna the production, the acting, and concepts are spectacular. Just because I may not understand a few symbolic things, I still understand the basic concept.
Socialism=bad in short
Post modernism in short. Angry leftists making corporates replace their employees, free handouts, trickle down economies, stealing workers money to save the economy. This is painfully real
What to remember:

"You should be more open and i dont care what you think"
"I think i deserve therefore i do deserve"
"Everyone is so weak and dependent, also i need your help"
"Your life is sad, painfull (etc), we should make a movie about your life so everyone can know how sad your life is, youre such a good man"
"If you say anything against it youre literally h¡tler"
"You are independent and capeble of anything, i will make sure of that"
"There is only about money with naz¡s like you"
"What you *earn* will be given to someone else"

"Maybe you should be more open to other peoples ideas"

"I dont care what you think, dont care!"
I had to watch it more than once.
Now I can safely say: In the end they're all getting drunk on safety - not just the entitled (Amy), the disenfranchised (worker), and the privileged (Blake) - in the end it's also the hard worker (Emma). Once she realized that there is no purpose for her in a system that is all about safety.
Safety = no one should suffer = go for equity = all have to suffer.
The end of the movie probably marks the tilting point of the system. The debt is payed for now, but because from now on nobody will produce output anymore and everybody will get drunk on safety, the system will collapse and pretty soon the nutrient pills will stop coming in.
People will start to go hungry.
Only thing I can't quite figure out is why it is called "Emma and Amy" - is there a meaning hidden in the title?
Or is it that these two mainly represent the "cultural polarity"? I'm not sure.
@Frederick Obando, Emma and Amy = Democrats and the Far Left.
Men don't matter. The color choice is a dead giveaway too
@@roB3rnd how is Emma in the far left? She opposes the communism allegory, and hopes that her work will pay off.
@@nathanielatkin304 Then obviously she's the Democrat, and Amy is the far left.
Emma and Amy are deliberately abstract to make you think about the underlying concepts and mechanisms rather then political or ideological slogans.
It is meant to lead your way from tribal political or ideological groupthink and make people examine underlying values and concepts.
Especially in America the people have been exhibiting very tribal behaviours based on ideological slogans like patriarch Democrat Republican SJW etc. This has led to tribal mob mentality is rather then understanding of cultural processes and values. There is no hidden in the meaning. The names chosen to sound common so that people could identify with all of the characters at some point in their life. Ascribing Group identities like Republican Democrat Marxist Socialist capitalist this part of the problem. Crowds and group identities did not necessarily offer safety. We each have agency to shape our destiny. Life is what you make of it. And you should take responsibility for it as an individual.

It's a dystopian world.
@@mathieul4303 Okayyyy.... and?.... read We or 1984 or Brave New World.... the rules of the world and the basic plot and general happenings are well established. You're not left sitting there wondering "what just happened?" when it's all over. That's the difference. What is happening in this video?
Was going to comment this
Edit 1: after pausing on that B-L-O-O-D screen, it looks like this : instead of doing work, 3 of the workers are constantly buying 'nutrient pills' and 'safety drinks' and end up getting heaps of debt, and only emma is doing work and by the end, she even saves up enough for a workplace. But since the company is in debt due to the poor management which is probably caused by the sjw 'I think I deserve it therefore I do' mentality, the boss decides to use all of emma's hard earned $ to instead pay off the debts of the other 3 workers to keep the company afloat. The slackers essentially stole from the rich to keep the lazy alive, which is probably in reference to some marxist ideology that arizes through the extreme left way of thought (Edit 2: communism. why did i not think that immediately lmao).
I also thought the film was quite vague, and was much longer than it needed to be. Though I would like to see what other people think

r/iamverysmart
"If u dont succeed someone else is to blame'
That's basically promoting bitterness towards all of society an haters
They took away Neel’s keyboard because Amy thought he was being exploited. Then he was just given booze. Also the sjw treated him like her baby, or her lover, because she felt sorry for him and wanted to see him succeed.
Was he sitting with the gambler because they were closer ideologically, and eventually moved because he was converted by the sjw’s endless empathy and the fact that she wouldn’t let the gambler voice is opinions?
Then he got his keyboard back, and was brought into the girl’s area for diversity. The hard working girl, Emma, didn’t like this because it was different, but her concerns were overruled similarly for the sake of diversity.
The gambling chad was a character I wasn’t quite sure about. He wasn’t a particularly hard worker and had bad habits, but we’re also meant to feel sympathy for him because he’s the only one disagreeing with the sjw.
I’m confused about who the salesman was. Was he the government? A supplier? HR? Their boss? What is clear is that the sjw uses his feelings for her to accomplish her political aims, she being the only one in the office who has any. So he is the useful idiot cucks that sjw women tolerate as “allies.” But he serves other roles in the story as well.
Emma was the only one who made all the right choices, and also happened to be female, so she wasn’t targeted by the sjw. She didn’t do drugs, didn’t get involved in politics, and worked her ass off. But in the end, she never got to see the fruits of her labor, as it was just used to prop up the socialist workplace. Her part in the story was to show that if you just work without caring about the place you’re working in and making sure your work is actually going where it’s intended to, you’ll end up spinning your wheels.
This piece wasn’t really meant to be enjoyed at all in a comedic sense. But it was an interesting allegory to workplaces built with Marxist, identity politics ideals.
In some cases, you don't feel empathetic towards anyone. In some cases everyone is bad. I think the most redeemable character is emma, but even she just seemed like an obedient cog in the machine.
@@nathanielatkin304 Did she actually get ordered to do anything? And even when she did comply and let Worker work alongside her, it was only toward the goal of remaining employed, so that she could save up enough to buy the workplace and actually have real control. She was a woman who was being strong and independent, and so she wasn't targeted by Amy, unlike Worker and Chris.
I don't think he is a gambler. It is supposed to be a corporation and the gambling bit represents stocks and investments etc.
Blake is a capitalist. Yes, he got his money from gambling, to represent his hypocrisy when he says that everyone gets what they deserve. But the point is, he is using his money to employ Neel (lending him a labour license for 1000 and a work permit for 100), that makes him a capitalist. The SJW deems this unfair, so she makes the civil servant (the salesman) "free" him from the oppression of the capitalist, leaving him without money or work, living on "safety" from the system (blue drinks).
Being male or female here is irrelevant, it was just a stupid argument from the SJW.
Gambler is capitalist as he is "giving kick backs" to the government (the bag guy) then you had immigrant the socialist then the hard worker who ultimately pays for everyones decisions.
At first i was confused but during the middle i started to realise a lot of things. As mentioned in the comments, the 4 workers represent different social groups - an honest and hard worker (Emma), a capitalist (the man in blue), a minority (neel) and a liberal/sjw who promotes communism. This story is an example of what will happen (and maybe even has happened) if undereducated people start preaching their agenda and win. The system either collapses or gets leveled out by the workforce who then realise their efforts are pointless (and start drinking alkohol, no longer caring about the future, the SJW panics).
......until they realize they can kill the SJW, and start from scratch.

Miss this channel so much.. Neel You gotta give us more content ma man. Love your "black mirror" style videos. This one was particularly interesting 1984-ish, dystopian, a bit obfuscated although i like when i have to 'work' a little to get the meaning behind the scenes. Covers themes such as meritocracy, perceived value, communism, socialism, propaganda, ideological subversion AND of course IMO the darkest one of all... The Pareto principle, The 80/20 rule. The unfortunate realization that, whatever we define success as, only around 20% will be responsible for producing 80% of the value in any complex system. This outcome may very well be a just/fair outcome, however difficult this maybe for humans to perceive or accept. The implication is: 20% would justly earn 80% of the rewards, and hence inequality is produced by a just system. People can't seem to get over that hump and accept it or compete for another outcome.
TheSabatuer its already happening with tax payers and the welfare system.
@@jenjenroxmysox Yep exactly, that's why there are so many Amy's and not enough Emma's ;) Very relevant skit nowadays imo.
Well the implication of interpreting this view "straight" would be that 80% of the people are just doomed to death by starvation because they're not successful enough? I mean, that just systems will put some above others is a no-brainer, the interesting question to ask is what do you do with the unsuccessful people.
@@Blaze6108 That's a bit extreme, i dont think the Pareto principal matches this example. its to extreme, 80% would be producing 20% of the value and hence, be LESS successful however not to the point of starvation at all...
I think the question you are really trying to get at is this. What do we do with the 10% of any population that are virtually unemployable, low IQ, can't take direction/instruction. Those are the unsuccessful people society has no answer for,
TheSabetuer 1984 has nothing to do with this I think you mean animal farm?

Joel Gibson no it’s not.
How? Explain.
I'm a bit late to the party, but I just stumbled upon this video, so I thought I migt give my own intepretation, as lot of people did, based on my own understanding of the video and help from reading other interpretations (had some trouble catching everything that is said as I'm not native english speaker ahahaha). I'm sorry that it's a bit long tho.
From what I see:
- Those nutrient pills seem to represent the necessary to live, hence all of them have to take them
- I'm not completely sure about what the safety drinks represent, but they seem to work as something of luxury and dependency. It is not necessary but highly addictive. It could maybe represent alcohol, drugs, unnecessary consumer goods, ... But I'm pretty unsure about this one.
- The screen with the girl speaking in advertisements represents the medias, that encourage the global hysteria and extreme opinions on the social medias, supporting the idea that talking loud is enough to legitimaze a "truth", rather than actual facts. It also encourages strong sense of individualism, inherited from the capitalist society.
- The guy with the bag represents the government, hesitating and being mostly influenced by the ideas of those who are influencial.
- Blake represents the higher ups of the Capitalist system and the big corportations. He is in a good situation from the start and remains in the green without having to work much, being even able to afford luxury stuff (the drinks). He knows well all the tricks with the current capitalist system and knows how to exploit them. You can see how he has strong ties with the power, and uses corruption when things start to go bad for him. He's pretty apathic, self-centered, and has convinced himself with the delusional idea that he deserves what he has because he's a "winner", so he feels legitimate. Globally, he doesn't care about others until the moment some changes are brought to the system, which threatens his position and influence, that are completely dependent on his ability the exploit the current system.
- Neel (The Worker) represents migrants, who arrive with pretty much nothing and is ready for anything to be able to work and live, despite him not being very qualified (you can see how he types slowly). In the beginning, he lets himself being exploited by Blake, by having a labour license and work permit bought for him and then working under the name of Blake (the "+1"). As such, he doesn't save anything for himself and his production goes to Blake, but atleast he receives the most basic necessary to live (the pills). But the fact that he receives it from Blake means that he basically doesn't exist on the system and is completely dependent on the one who exploits him. But he shuts up and goes along with it as long as he can live.
When the situation changes and he's left by himself, he can't manage to find work, so he just get more and more indebted and start being dependant on the drink. However, he's aware of how hopeless is situation is, you can see around 11:30 the look of disillusionment on his face as he purchases a drink and sees his saving going a bit further in the negative. He doesn't want the pity of Amy, and is even disturbed at how she appropriates his own suffering and consider it her own, after distorting it. And even when he's pity-accepted as a worker again, he's already too addicted to drinks to ever manage to gain any savings. He never has a say in anything and just accepts his situation.
- Amy represents the sjws. She starts on the same level as Emma and works normally (albeit slower), but she pays more attention to people around her. When she notices how the migrant worker is being exploited by Blake, she suddenly shows her sjw side and violently denounces it, creates controversy, forcing the government to make this situation stop. However, she doesn't propose any alternative solution to it. But feeling like she's denouncing an injustice makes her feel good in her conscience and completely oblivious to how she actually made the migrant life worse. Whenever Blake tries to speak out loud against it, she threatens to creates controversy, to shut him up.
Later on, you can see how she is completely delusional about how the life of Neel really is. Truth is she doesn't truly care about him, she doesn't even listen to him, but seeing him like that makes her feel guilty. So in order to chase the guilt away, she appropriates his suffering and blame it all on Blake. She then strays even further in delusion by distorting the situation of Neel and mixing it up with her sjw ideas (the whole gay, muslim, trans, ... privilege points). Overall, she just keeps feeding her good conscience and ego by using the migrant's suffering as a tool and denouncing everything while letting others deal with the consequences (the migrant has to deal with being left on his own, Emma has to deal with the integration of the migrant at her work).
She ends up completely losing track with reality and money, and drowns in dependence with the drink. She finally snaps out of her denial the moment her friend is affected by the crisis, making her realize too late how powerless and deep in shit she actually is.
- Emma is a more "neutral" person. She accepts the current system and the current situation, and is gonna work hard to save up and buy a place of her own through the capitalist system. However, she is highly individualistic and is only concerned about her own savings, being blind, or choosing to be blind, to what happens around her. She probably noticed the miserable situation of the migrant, how he was being exploited, and then how hopeless he was, but she chose to ignore it so that she can focus on her own situation and not have good conscience problems like her friend Amy. However, the actions of the government provocated by Amy's protests make her feel more and more uneasy about it. One time when new taxes are introduced, and another time when she is forced to work with the migrant. This makes her feel uneasy because this time it does encroach her comfort zone, and might make her realize that she is only tolerant as long as she's not the one having to deal with migrants. However, she never speaks up because she doesn't wanna do anything that could threaten her stability.
In the end, when the government, who had been more and more influenced and cuckholded by the sjw controversy generated by Amy, uses the excuse of "equality" to use her savings to pay the global debt, she finally wanna protest because now she is directly affected. However, there is nothing she can do, because after all, she let all that bullshit happening around her without saying a word. That's when she becomes disillusioned and starts drinks dependency.
Overall, I don't see any of them as a righteous person. Amy isn't the only one who is in the wrong, she is just more exposed to being the one speaking the loudest.

9:06 "Let it trickle down," lmao
Also I think the short is named Emma and Amy because they are the focus, and most of the problems ensue because they don't communicate as well as the opening suggests. At the beginning, they are shown as equals, sitting opposite each other, encouraging and comforting each other about the future. As time goes on, they rarely--and eventually cease to--communicate anymore. Based on other comments, it's safe to say Amy represents the vocal left-wing activists with empty promise (and even the artist crowds like Hollywood or indie filmmakers) and Emma is the hard-working blue collar who is indifferent to politics (I think most of the comments overlook Emma's attitude). They should've cooperate to make the space a better place, but in reality activism and the average white workers usually ignore each other or talk past each other, while the former aims its poison at big capitalists and the government. It's futile because in practice Emma is the most powerful force that can bring forth the changes needed.

There is always so much good symbolism in these. Really does bring out the best points of societal issues.
This is an excellent video, well done to Neel and his team. :)
Seriously what an amazingly string cast, script and impeccable production. This is a work of art!
The communist theme was absolutely brilliant.
I don’t think I’m intelligent enough to understand what’s going on.
Though you are intelligent enough to admit your current limitations instead of just screaming a buzzword. I missed EVERYTHING the first time i watched it, except the blatant SJW and the Ministry of Truth Propaganda but couldnt put it all in context.
Iv scrolled down from the top of the comments and read the first 3 different analyses. Each with unique insights. I respect you for admitting that you dont understand. There would be many here in these comments that dont. An hour ago, i didnt. Scroll down, most people just give away their current "political bias" for want of a better term. We all play our part on this stage.
Neel is this generation’s Rod Serling. Every short film is scary in that it feels like a Twilight Zone episode, except it is real.
I'm going to need a citation on "except it is real."
This is like a parody of reality.
I love how at the end the say it's fair when it so clearly isn't 😂
Low, middle and upper class, migrant, government and media on TV with equality and equal redistribution.
Very good analogy
I had a nightmare exactly like this once I am kind of freaked out how similar the video is
I really appreciate your work. I literally went through a 3 month class driven by cooperate for a fortune 500 company. they tried to brainwash me. worst 3 months of my life.
That epic moment when you haven't read any Marx
rise and grind fellow gamers, we're going to impose a monetary social relation on you

As I've said for almost all of your skits--brilliant. You should be a writer for the next Black Mirror season.
My personal explanation. Amy is American culture, Emma is the working class. The man handing out the pills and blue liquid is our government. The pills represent either the pharmaceutical companies or "the Red Pill" even tho it's orange but i digress. The blue liquid seems to represent socialism or beliefs in socialism. Also the early days of feminism as well. As you can see, when Amy continues to drink the liquid, she becomes more socialist. Neil represents minorities in America as well. The screen is our media and our economy. The white guy wearing the collared shirts represents "Blue Collared White Men". Pretty much, because of Amy's (socialism) decisions, she continues to screw over Emma to the point where the man (aka the government) decides to take Emma's property (her money) to take care of the work place (aka our economy) thus turning the work place into a full blown communist government. And as you can see, though she was idealistic, Amy didn't really want that cause she loved the spoils Emma provided. When Emma drinks the blue liquid, that means the working class has fallen to communist in the name of "equality" meaning Amy and Emma will be forced to work the same hours, with the same pay, while not being able to own their own property at all as it is now surrendered to the company in its entirety. They no longer gain the benefits of the company.
Wow. This should win some kind of "best of youtube" award. Demographic interplay, executed with incisive precision. Nice release date as well.
this is confusing
3 of the workers are constantly buying 'nutrient pills' and 'safety drinks' and end up getting heaps of debt, and only emma is doing work and by the end, she even saves up enough for a workplace. But since the company is in debt due to the poor management which is probably caused by the sjw 'I think I deserve it therefore I do' mentality, the boss decides to use all of emma's hard earned $ to instead pay off the debts of the other 3 workers to keep the company afloat. The slackers essentially stole from the rich to keep the lazy alive, which is probably in reference to some marxist ideology that arizes through the extreme left way of thought (Edit 2: communism. why did i not think that immediately lmao).
dude should stick to making jokes about australian stereotypes tbh

@@EpickaNESSiskool Cmon man, enjoy sthg with a bit more depth and openness to interpretation. The dude should make more content tbh, mix it up.

Why have i only just found this channel. Its amazing.
Nice video, see you in 2019
Yep....
2020
I personally love subtlety! Makes it feel more nuanced and more to search into, the puzzle pieces all being there.
Damn, man. How did you get Joaquin Phoenix to play Blake?
I honestly thought Emma would be the antagonist (because she has blue hair) so that was a big surprise that she’s probably one of the only normal people
I wonder if this is about communism? How some people work harder than others but still get paid equally.
The first part with Amy feels like how some people complain about equality in the workplace, but they don't do the work themselves becuase they are too busy complaining.
I would say this is more a commentary on the worst of sjw liberals, who take social issues to an extreme without being able to have a discourse or a critique of other systemic issues. Leftists hate these types of people for that reason, because people see this and think that all left wing critique is like this.
@@epicragequitdude Ahh, I see. Thank you, that explains Amy much better.
The colours for Emma and Amy are red and yellow, symbolizing the Soviet union. It couldn't be more on the nose if it right hooked you
@@epicragequitdude No, you are equating sjws to lazy communists. Amy is extremely far left, I don't think sjw does it justice. She is a communist, giving into the system and loving it. Emma is working hard in that society, but gets paid nothing.
Getting paid equally is one of the biggest misunderstandings regarding communism
As always a short with: An interessting story, production value, good acting, a message, and competent filmmaking. I hope to see more from you
Love this, why can't we have intelligent and nuanced critique of the left hysteria in mainstream media? There it's either all left or stupid radical right.
Don’t forget total government control or anarchy!
This is great. The woman on the screen is such a good actor!
This was unexpected, I thought after two years neel had been kidnapped because of his perception on things.
I've been just binge watching the short films and cultural satire playlist and they seem like black mirror episodes
YEAH! Love the content man! YOU HAVE TO DO MORE STAND UP
Mate, I was fucking binge watching your channel yesterday and today you go ahead and post this. Fuckin love you man. Missed this stuff
Interesting concept, strange execution. I know it's not my place, but it should have been half as long time-wise, and the board could have been explained better earlier on.
You are the best independent filmmaker of our time.
“Socialism: the redistribution of wealth.”
thank you for content that allows me to wash away the everyday and experience sympathy towards not so common position on the left coast
Dude, it's been like a year. I'm glad you're back. Do you still do stand up?
Beautiful...absolutely mind blowing
Let me make this clear. Who are Amy
Ilhan omar, Aoc, sjw
Makes me think of black mirror. Really good spine chilling stuff
Looks like its set in Newtown.
XD
Truueee
What an interesting video. Look forward to what you have in store for us in the future.
I'm surprised Patreon still lets your channel use its funding.
Only a matter of time I suppose.
Still, love your work, hope you keep it up.
Neel’s films remind me of black mirror. What a brilliant man
For the confused: Read the description.
so I found this channel This week and saw that the last upload was a year ago and today this channel uploaded. nice.
Where did they get those keyboards I need to know
Neep and the whole crew should get a black mirror episode.
Holy shit this is brilliant.
Fantastic Sir. You need to put more than 1 of these out a year!
Woah, hes back :)
