ANTI-FLAG is also one of my favourite bands now!!!

They were actually mentioned in American Parliament, i forgot what it was for but it was a good thing. The name actually means Anti-America thus the err...Anti-Flag. Basically they don't like the government. Their songs all have really powerful meanings =D and they look kinda...cool in a weird way haha





The following are parts of the lyrics taken from the song, Atonomy of Your Enemy. It's about how to make an enemy (between countries) and i think it's kinda true. Lyrics will be in bold.

First step: create the enemy. Sometimes this will be done for you.

Second step: be sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like you.Find obvious differences like race, language, religion, dietary habitsfashion. Emphasize that their soldiers are not doing a job,they are heartless murderers who enjoy killing!

Third step: Once these differences are established continue to reinforce them with all disseminated information.

Fourth step: Have the media broadcast only the ruling party's informationthis can be done through state run media.Remember, in times of conflict all for-profit media repeats the ruling party's information, therefore all for-profit media is state-run.

Fifth step: show this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant, or different.Always portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machine.

Sixth step: Eliminate opposition to the ruling party.Create an "Us versus Them" mentality. Leave no room for opinions in between.One that does not support all actions of the ruling party should be considered a traitor.

Seventh step: Use nationalistic and/or religious symbols and rhetoric to define all actions.This can be achieved by slogans such as "freedom loving people versus those who hate freedom."This can also be achieved by the use of flags.

Eighth step: Align all actions with the dominant deity.It is very effective to use terms like, "It is god's will" or "god bless our nation."

Ninth step: Design propaganda to show that your soldiers have feelings, hopes, families, and loved ones.Make it clear that your soldiers are doing a duty; they do not want or like to kill.

Tenth step: Create and atmosphere of fear, and instabilitythen offer the ruling party as the only solutions to comfort the public's fears.Remembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fear.


and this last part is just a statement against the government.

Mother fuckers
I will not die
I will not kill
I will not be your slave
I will not fight your battle
I will not die on your battlefield
I will not fight for your wealth
I am not a fighter
I am a human being!!!
