I Bow To Your Weapons

from Free Hearts [EP] by Indissent

/

lyrics

You do not understand, somebody who wants government enforced laws, regulations, rules and brutalities to run your life wants you thrown in jail for disagreeing with him. I want men in blue costumes to your house, stick a gun in your face and say “Come into the windowless van with us for years”. So, if I’m against the war on drugs what I want is to withdraw my funding for the war on drugs. To withdraw the money that is extracted from me at gunpoint and used to pay people to throw people in cages where they are brutalized and often raped for years. That is what it means to have a conscience and be able to act on it. To not be forced to support that which is inmoral. Being against the war means not to be enforced to fund a war, not to be enforced to pay for the murder of innocent foreigners. What does it mean to be against these predations? Does it mean that you can wave your placards and write your blog and say to people “well I don’t think it’s that good given the facts behind it”? No. That means nothing. If you’re a cow, in an electrified paddockand you want to spray-paint on your side “I don’t like me paddocks”, farmer doesn’t care, just stay on the goddamn fence and you can do whatever you want. The fence is your money, the fence is your obedience, which is enforced upon you, either directly with the gun to your head on taxation or indirectly with the silent pick-pocket of fiat currency inflation, and debt. The government is all about forcing people to act against their conscience. The government is ethics rape in perpetuity. What they are saying, to your face, is “If you act upon your conscience and seize to support that which is morally repugnant to you and destructive to the lives of literaly millions of people, I want you kidnapped and thrown in jail for years”. That is what they’re saying to you. “Follow your conscience, go to jail. And I like that and I want that and if you resist that, you’re a bad person!”. Let’s just reason together, and see if we can find a way to have a society which is not murder based, which is not cage based, which is not violence based. And you don’t have to bring any of this of on people, of course, what you can do, if people say “Well I think the war on drugs is a good idea”, can just say something very simple, which describes the situation perfectly: “I submit to your guns”. You don’t have to follow your conscience, you don’t have to go to jail, but all you have to say to people is “I bow to your weapons”.
