Ten easy steps to create an enemy and start a warListen closely because we will all see this weapon used in our livesIt can be used on a society of the most ignorantTo the most highly educated, we need to see these tactics as a weaponAgainst humanity and not as truthThis is how to create an enemyThis is how to start a warThis is how to create an enemyFirst stepCreate the enemySometimes this will be done for youSecond stepBe sure the enemy you have chosen is nothing like youFind obvious differences like race, language, religionDietary habits, fashionEmphasize that their soldiers are not doing a jobThey are heartless murderers who enjoy killingThird stepOnce these differences are establishedContinue to reinforce them with all disseminated informationFourth stepHave the media broadcast only the ruling party's informationThis can be done through state run mediaRemember, in times of conflictAll for-profit media repeats the ruling party's informationTherefore all for-profit media state-runFifth stepShow this enemy in actions that seem strange, militant or differentAlways portray the enemy as non-human, evil, a killing machineThis is how to create an enemyThis is how to start a warThis is how to create an enemySixth stepEliminate opposition to the ruling partyCreate an Us versus them mentalityLeave no room for opinions in betweenOne that does not support all actions of the ruling partyShould be considered a traitorSeventh stepUse nationalistic and or religious symbolsAnd rhetoric to define all actionsThis can be achieved by slogans such asFreedom loving people versus those who hate freedomThis can also be achieved by the use of flagsEighth stepAlign all actions with the dominant deityIt is very effective to use terms likeIt is God's will or God bless our nationNinth stepDesign propaganda to show that your soldiers have feelingsHopes, families and loved onesMake it clear that your soldiers are doing a dutyThey do not want or like to killTenth stepCreate and atmosphere of fear and instabilityThen offer the ruling party as the only solutionTo comfort the public's fearsRemembering the fear of the unknown is always the strongest fearThis is how to create an enemyThis is how to start a warThis is how to create an enemyWe are not countries, we are not nations(Enemy)We are not religions, we are not GodsWe are not weapons, we are not ammunition (Enemy)We are not killers, we will not be toolsMotherfuckersI will not die, I will not killI will not be your slaveI will not fight your battleI will not die on your battlefieldI will not fight for your wealthI am not a fighterI am a human being
