    Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

    The only thing Korn should reimagine is their band's quality.

    ...Should I tell you that Korn gets covered as a classic too or do you want to keep blissfully ignorant?

    “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

    "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

    Well, as they sing, even old jokes deserve songs:

    That thumbnail hat me immediately with the Sailor Soldiers but really, who exactly do they make these videos for? I wonder if any of the dancers knew why they were wearing skimpy sailor costumes of if they  assumed they were just there for the eye candy candy in a song about an old and infantile joke. :p Sailor Moon is probably older than the girls in the video (on that note, can't believe that was almost thirty years ago, time really does fly). 

    The amount of overlap between metal fans who appreciate Nanowar's parodies and people who have seen the anime or read the manga can't be that large, can it?

    Also, nitpick in the spoiler:

    If the intent was to have the dancers dress up as Haruka / Sailor Uranus, why do they have Makoto's / Sailor Jupiter's hairdo and what's with those shoes?

    No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

    Sailor Jupiter was the best one, so obviously that's why they used the hair.
