Anatomy of Your Enemy

Lyrics

Ten easy steps to create an enemy and start a war
 Listen closely, because we will all see this weapon used in our lives
 It can be used on a society of the most ignorant to the most highly educated
 We need to see their tactics as a weapon against humanity, and not as truth
 This is how to create an enemy
 This is how to start a war
 This is how to create an enemy
 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 habits, fashion
 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 information
 This 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
 This is how to create an enemy
 This is how to start a war
 This is how to create an enemy
 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 with 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 instability
 And then 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
 This is how to create an enemy
 This is how to start a war
 This is how to create an enemy
 We are not countries
 We are not nations (enemy)
 We are not religions
 We are not gods
 We are not weapons
 We are not ammunition (enemy)
 We are not killers
 We will be no tools
 Motherfuckers!
 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 battlefields!
 I will not fight for your wealth!
 I am not a fighter!
 I am a human being!
