Speaker 0 argues that a society can fall ethically, morally, and legally by pulling its police into the streets to manhandle and pepper spray its own people, suggesting that this would be a hallmark of a draconian police state rather than a democracy. He asserts that the Irish government, describing them as “the most objectionable band of toxic morons” who send out their representatives to do “their dirty work in Ballet Clavas,” is engaging in actions that are at once abomination and tragedy, yet, in his view, honest in their consistency.
He contends that no symbol better represents a government that has “stolen our children's birthright, vandalized our country, and broken our constitution apart with a sledgehammer” than the balaclava. The balaclava, he says, is the symbol of murder, torture, plunder, terror, cowardice, desecration, and urping, crimes he claims have been committed by this government, either directly or through mandated proxy in recent years. He describes it as appropriate apparel for gangsters who would commandeer the purse strings of a free people and use their money to destroy their homeland, thereby leaving the people and their children without a home.
He argues that what they face is a total and permanent destruction of country, culture, way of life, livelihoods, independence, freedom, and hopes, and imagines that if such threats were present in their homes, they would know what they had to do to save themselves and their children. He questions whether it matters that the gangster is terrorizing the people or “shiny suited creeps who hide behind mercenary thugs wearing balaclavas,” concluding that it should not matter. He insists that they be named plainly: “Terrorists.”
Throughout, the speaker emphasizes a stark dichotomy between the people’s defense of their rights and the government’s use of force, presenting the balaclava and the gangsters behind it as the true embodiment of treachery and danger to national identity. The closing refrains—“Terrorists. Terrorists.”—serve to reiterate the speaker’s labeling of those in power as the enemy threatening the nation.
