Music video

The music video features war as a sport involving two teams of soldiers fighting on a football field. Cheerleaders celebrate the violence as the fat cat politician screams for more violence. A lone protester, whose sickly appearance reflects his weak voice in society, is in the same stadium screaming at the events taking place.

The video was directed by Adam Egypt Mortimer and performed by the No Mercy Video Stunt Team.

gollark: Do you *know* about templates?
gollark: Why is that a macro and not a template?
gollark: But implementing page aliases and better link case insensitivity would be quite difficult and either be slow or require two pass rendering.
gollark: Anyway, running minoteaur ""at scale"" has shown me that people actually do want "index/recent changes/general purpose discovery thing", so I need to work out how to do that decently, and also the case-insensitivity thing works poorly in some situations and people want aliases/redirects.
gollark: Fascinating.
