From dehumanization to arms production
For the benefit of the nation or its destruction
Power is power, the law of the land
And those living for death will die by their own hand

Life's no ordeal, if you come to terms
Reject the system dictating the norms

From dehumanization to arms production
To hasten the nation to its destruction
Power is power, the law of the land
Those living for death will die by their own hand

Life's no ordeal, if you come to terms
Reject the system dictating the norms

[repeat]

It's your choice, your choice, your choice, your choice
Peace
Or annihilation...

    General Comment:this song to me is like the levels of war. "from dehuminization to arms production"-this is like how when the Japanese bombed the US at Pearl Harbor, we dehuminized the Japanese and then started with a mass arms production and mass mobilization of our army. "to hasten the nation to its destruction"-is basically like how we nuked Japan and then set up the cold war because the US and Russia had such a huge stock pile of weaponry and nukes that if we were to launch them all, it would be the end of the world 10x over. this song is basically how we will fight wars by doing mass production of arms, mass mobilization, degrading our enemies, setting up others countries or states so that they'll fall or rise, and how we'll dehuminize people to make our war efforts justified and make us feel better

    General Comment:Bush is completely modeled after Hitler so both make sense. Hitler burned his Reichstad building or whatever the hell it was called, and Bush (and the people above him) burned (or actually used explosives, I forget the name) the WTC, both in an effort to rally support towards a scapegoat enemy, so they could start a war that would further their elitist agenda. It shouldn't be too surprising though, considering both people were backed by the same secret society(ies)

    General Comment:I know this may seem kind of out there, and Im not sure if anybodys mentioned this yet but, the holocaust..?

    Think about it. It's exactly what Hitler did during World War 2. Everybody started out believing that Hitler was helpful during a time of destruction, the war. It turns out he only further hurt Germany. Power is power, it speaks for itself. Hitler could do whatever he wanted. Life was no ordeal if you just complied.
    He dehumanized people. Brainwashed them and gave them the opportunity to kill Jews. It's your choice, go along with making "peace" or be killed as if you yourself were Jewish.

    That's just my take on it.

    General Comment:No, I don't want to seem like a jerk off, but you're confusing a democracy with a DIRECT democracy once again. Democracy is the broad term of a government that is controlled by the people (whether it be by representatives or the actual population). This form of government branches off into two possible bodies of governement: A. Direct Democracies that involves the entire population gathers for a vote on every issue/bill presented. Note that this is only possible in very small nations, the U.S. is much to large attain this.
    Or
    B. A Republic in which the people elect people to represent them. This isn't a DIRECT democracy because representatives are the voices are the voters (or so we believe) so... I agree with you that politics is a monstrosity.

    General Comment:you were right that democratic republic is the wrong term, I meant republic.

    we are a republic bc we vote for the officials that will best represent our own ideas in the gov, the difference between democracy and republic is that in democracy the public has direct control and in a republic the general public has indirect influence.
    So my question still stands why do most people think that our nation is a democracy? like you said we are a republic not a democracy and altho the two are related there are very key differences that make a democracy and a republic two very diff kinds of government.

    i appreciate you defining democracy and republic. but they aren't the same. Your statement, "So, before you try and point out mistakes, realize that a republic is, though not directly, a democracy" that is an illogical statement, you are saying that republic equals democracy just not directly... what??? if they are equal they are equal, but you cant say that two things are indirectly equal… that would make them not equal. So like I said people should know that our government is not a democracy.

    You can dislike politics and still recognize a need for government. You can disagree with the processes and methods that politicians use to make their decisions. That doesn’t mean you disregard the need for government it just means you don’t like the way its being ran.

    General Comment:First off, if you really want to split hairs, it's a direct democracy that you're thinking of. The U.S. is a republic, which is a branch of democracy. While the definition of democracry is: "Rule derived from the consent of the people being governed". So, before you try and point out mistakes, realize that a republic is, though not directly, a democracy. The people vote for a representative, so the power that the representative has is only possible because of the voters. Mean-while, it's funny that you mention that you dislike politics, yet you know that there is a need for government for a state to prosper. I do not believe that many people will regret commenting on here just because they read the Constitution AND the Bill of Rights (even though the Bill of Rights is in the Constitution...). If they were the least bit intellectually active they'd feel more adamant on how the U.S. is on a sinking ship. With the federal reserve controlling the economy basically, it's quite infuriating to see people barking on this website about the different branches of democracy and what not.
