An Executive-level meme
So I made something.... Crazy for you!
I present to you, the culmination of my career in International Relations 🤣
(Both as a practitioner and educator)
National security, grand strategy, and geopolitics don't have to be boring. They should be tailored to the likes of the very people we serve.
Baket? Sa tingin mo kaya makinig yung average Juan, Juanita, Juanito (or everyone in between) na gusto lang pumasok sa trabaho sa dalawang oras na lecture? Eh pagod na yun sa commute pa lang.
No. That's why I'm here to provide an alternative.
By using the music of a specific country tied to the issue and overlaying it with a set of hodge-podge information related to cover a specific national security issue, it is in my hope that I'm able to help shed "some" light on very complex issues to our fellow countrymen with memes as the primary mode of transporting complex geopolitical knowledge through a quick and "punchy" framework by presenting equal parts facts and pop references.
In such a way, I guess it's also my hope that by using this approach, we'll break through the barrier of geopolitics being a topic of "elitists". As Filipinos, we have every right and duty to see, question, and move forward in the direction we see that benefits us the most in the international system.
TLDR:
Making meme videos is quite difficult hahaha
I used a meme format to basically give a "briefer" on complex geopolitical and national security issues.
