about

Nowadays, a lot of people out there, especially in the so-called autonomous scene, which superficially strives for liberation and supports individuality, are fighting each other instead of "the real enemys".
We live in an age, where everyone can make up his/her own problems and judge others for not fulfilling their expectencies with one mouse click.
Everyone knows everything better than everyone else and obviously you're the only one who's doing it right, aren't you?
This is a pretty personal song, about things that actually happened to me.
Like being kicked out of an animal liberation/direct action movement for being "too militant/not pc-enough"... We shared the same goals. We were all vegans and got along nicely... until they found out that I wrote an article for a zine which compares the holocaust to modern factory farming.
I mean, the use of the word might've been incorrect here, although modern factory farming is the greatest genocide ever and carnism is a brutal and inhumane ideology, but I guess eventually we had other priorities here.
This is not about qualifying anything. This is also not about being deferential and empathic. This is about changing something in peoples minds. Even at the risk of spoiling some good ones.
When you use a word like holocaust, almost everyone directly thinks "woah, thats a really bad thing. i don't wanna have anything to do with that". It might hurt the feelings of a certain few. But a lot more people will be shocked and perhaps re-think their actions, and thats what matters to me!
Political Correctness is a good thing, but being bitter and misanthropic won't make a difference. You can't be polite and empathic during a revolution!

"All I Know" was written in early 2014 and recorded in early 2015.

lyrics

Do you really think that the ones who aren’t there anymore
would care about what I’m talking or what I’m not talking?!
Do you really want to arrogate the right to know what they would’ve thought or felt?
Do you really want to arrogate the right to know what the dead would’ve done?

Fuck your political correctness,
I can be as reckless as I wanna be!
Fuck your indirectness,
I won’t take no nonsense – I won’t let you prohibit!

All I know is that the Holocaust has never stopped!
All I know is that it just changed species; it’s now on your plate!
All I know is that meat is still murder and dairy is still rape!
All I know is that I won’t keep quiet about it, just to be empathic…

And sensitive to someone who just has equal rights…
So fucking cope with the truth!

Fuck your political correctness,
I can be as reckless as I wanna be!
Fuck your indirectness,
I won’t take no nonsense – I won’t let you prohibit!

One day we’ll have to realize that our moaning of prosperity
has nothing to do with the real problems, of real man and women!
And one day we will realize that the ones we scared away,
have never been the enemies!

All I know is that the truth is always more important…
