10 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.
|
|
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 becomes 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.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
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
|
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.
|
|
[Chorus (repeat)]
|
|
We are not countries. We are not nations. We are not religions.
|
We are not gods. We are not weapons. We are not ammunition. We are not killers.
|
We will NOT be tools.
|
|
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!!!
