Anti-Flag have released a lyric video for their new single Christian Nationalist. The single follows the band’s recent UK/European tour announcement, set to take place in early 2020.
“History is full of wealthy and powerful people using religion and cultism to justify policies of oppression and inequality,” explains vocalist/guitarist Justin Sane. “Invariably, these policies target the most vulnerable in society so that elites can maintain their dominance. 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.”
