In case you’re on the hunt for your next anti-piece-of-shit-politicians anthem that you can happily sing along to at your next protest rally, outspoken political punks Anti-Flag have just dropped their brilliant new track “Christian Nationalist.”
Speaking about their first new single since last year’s “Mr. Motherfucker,” which you can probably guess who that’s about, vocalist Justin Sane says, “History is full of wealthy and powerful people using religion and cultism to justify policies of oppression and inequality. Invariably, these policies target the most vulnerable in society so that elites can maintain their dominance.”
Sane went on to add, “Today we see this same strategy employed by right wing politicians all over the world. Just as the anti-fascists of the 1930’s and 1940’s rejected the fascist ideologies of their era, we reject the neo-fascists of this era. Theocracy is dangerous and inherently anti-democratic because it restricts individual choice and provides an avenue by which politicians can claim a moral superiority over ‘the other.’ It gives political cover and justification for policies and actions which might otherwise be deemed morally objectionable, inhuman, or adverse to the best interest of the country.”
As for Anti-Flag’s new lyric video which flashes faces of various politicians and criminals, Sane said, “The lyric video for ‘Christian Nationalist’ utilizes the images of both politicians who have taken money from the NRA and that of perpetrators of recent mass shootings.”
