Anatomy of Your Enemy
Anti-Flag

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 these 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 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 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 instability

Then offer the ruling party as the only solution

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 not be 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 battlefield

I will not fight for your wealth

I am not a fighter

I am a human being
