Representation of Anti-Authoritarian Nationalism.
The excerpt 54 just consists of a Goal. The existence of the Actor is omitted here but the issue of radiation and Agent Orange clarify the Actor as the
executor of the tests. The radiation refers to “a form of energy that comes from a nuclear radiation and that can be very dangerous to health CALD3 and “agent
orange” or herbicide orange is used by U.S military as a part of its herbicidal warfare program. The circumstance indicates the location of the test which refers
to the subjects of test. The U.S souls refer to American people. Still about the national security, government do the test for the medical service however the
action has broken the ethics code of human experimentation by hiding the information from the subjects.
The action of slaughtering in excerpt 55 that General Eisenhower as the Actor do toward the Goal, First World Wars veterans has meaning of “to cruelly
and unfairly kill a lot of people”CALD3. The term, cruel, and unfair are best described the fascism. It points out that the Actor is powerful to execute his
ambition. The slaughtering done to the ex-forces put them as the affected of the Actor’s action.
Relational Processes appears as the second prominent process to show the ideology presence. The kind of processes clarify who the actor is; actor’s identity
and what the actor is; actor’s character. The clarification of both points support the actuality of the authoritarian leader in the concept of nationalism. The two
types of relational process namely identifying process and attributive process disclose the relation between token and value and between carrier and attributive.
The relation of the participants is discussed as follows. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
The relational processes are shown in two main topics: human experimentation and war. The following excerpts are the attributive process which
presents the character of the authoritarian nationalism.
56 A secret test Carrier is Process government Actor built virus “Subject Test Group: Gulf Battle Field TroopsAttributeS1.C4a
57 The word America Carrier means Process freedom” Attribute - as in, free to kill the free... S5.C3
The relational process in excerpt 56 shows what the carrier is about. An attribute process defines what the secret test is. The virus “subject test group” is identified
as the secret. Excerpt 57 is about showing the quality of the carrier. America is qualified as “freedom” which means free to kill the free”. It indicates there is an
alteration of the meaning of liberty freedom in America. The excerpts carry the identity of the authoritarian nationalism which signal
by the relation of Token-Value is displayed below.
58 You Token don’t have to be Process a Nazi Value, fuck
S7.C7
59 The phrase world leaders Token does not describe Process the heads of state ValueS14.C5
The two clauses are about identifying. In excerpt 58, the token, youis indentified as Value, a Nazi. The verb, don’t have to be indicates the refusal of
Nazism. The word, Nazi refers to “someone who is cruel or who demands an unreasonable degree of obedience, or someone who has extreme and unreasonable
beliefs about race”CALD3.There is prohibition for government not to be the part of nazi. The identifying process of in excerpt 59 is the government is shown in
the noun phrase, world leaders. It symbolizes the hegemony of the government. However, the speakers assess it as the two different identities. The world leaders
and the head of state are not same. Another interesting topic to unmask the presence of authoritarian
nationalism is war. The war is basically the armed fighting between two or more countries or group CALD3. The reason of fighting between countries is about
their effort for defending the country of being attacked and controlled by another country. The nationalistic sentiments form citizens to express their expression and
have attitudes about their own nation and other. Central to this focus are the nationalism arouse feelings of attachment toward in-groups as well as feelings of
enmity towards out-groups. The exaggerated national self-images can lead to the wrong collective actions such as war. Leaders use nationalism to mobilize public
support for the warfare; nationalism is aroused by the conflict and intensified by victory.
Nationalism has been closely associated with the most destructive wars of human history. The First and the Second World War have been examined as the
epitome of the dangers of nationalism. It means that the more individual hold nationalistic sentiments, the greater the likelihood of war. The violent conflict is
provoked by elites included government in order to create domestic political context where nationality is only the politically relevant identity. The invasion of
Bush to Iraq is the example of the government provocation in this case; Bush, about finding the massive destructive weapons. This is due to the Bush’ anxiety
for Iraqi may destroy America and be the most influential country with their PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
weapon. The condition implicitly arouse the feeling of nationalism; the feeling to keep the national defense.
The presence of nationalism on topic of war is also found in Anti-Flag song lyrics. Still, the two main processes support its appearance are the material
processes and relational processes. The excerpts apply the material processes are discussed as follows.
60 They Actor use Process the flag Goal to control Process us Client. S3.C1a
61 They Actor brainwashProcess us Goal to be their patriotic slavesCircumstance S3.C1b
62 Your values Actor are nothing but excuses to startProcess fights Goal S7.C3
63 TheyActor call on Process me Goal to die for them Client
S5.C9c
64 So if the heads of state want to end terrorism Circumstance, They Actorshould go ahead Processand kill Process themselves
Goal S14.C2
The Excerpt 60 shows the use of pronoun they to represent government and pronoun us as the Client. The pronoun shows the unity of Anti-Flag with the
society. The Goal, the flag becomes the government tool to control the society. It symbolizes the nationalism.
Excerpt 61 has brainwash as the process. It means the government is powerful to alter the concept of nationalism in society. The circumstance to be
their patriotic slaves displays the aim of government. The words, patriotic and slaves are two contradictive words. The society has a concept of being a patriot
however the government considers them as their slaves. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
The Actor in excerpt 62, your values represents the government’s rules or decisions. The verb excuses to start fight explicates the government decision to
begin the war. Here, the speaker is about to judge the government. Through this clause, the government the Authoritarian is perceived as through the word, value.
As the leader, government is the one who responsible to make the value. The Actor is still the powerful one whose action, excuses to start creates the Goal.
The verb phrase in excerpt 63, call on, indicates the nationalistic sentiment declaration for fighting. It is what the government; they as the Actor do
to the Goal, citizens; me. In other side, it could be the opened-requirement for being U.S forces. Every citizen is persuaded for join in a national security.
The heads of state is the term used for the government in excerpt 64. The verb of material process as the action of the Actor has themselves as the affected.
The circumstance indicates the supposition: if the Actor wants to end terrorism they should go and kill themselves. It means that the speaker indicates the
government as the terrorist. Since the terrorist refers to “someone who uses violent action, or threats of violent action, for political purposes” CALD3 then
the government is a person who in authority can do anything for the political purpose.
The relational processes existence on topic of war is shown in the following excerpts.
65 Dying for government and country Carrier is Process shit Attribute S1.C1c.
66 They call Process that Token being a patriot Value. I just call it
ignorant. S3.C7
67 The bush terror warCarrier is Process unconstitutional and unconscionable Attribute. S10.C6
The Carrier in excerpt 65, dying for government and country is qualified as shit. It means that the submission for the superior is definitely not a good
matter to be done. In excerpt 66, the Token, Being a patriot, is identified as ignorant, The Value. They speaker call it so to show their rejection of
nationalism. The word, ignorant states their anti-patriotism or nationalism. The heads of state is the term used for the government in excerpt 67. The verb of
material process as the action of the Actor has themselves as the affected. The circumstance indicates the supposition: if the Actor wants to end terrorism they
should go and kill themselves. It means that the speaker indicates the government as the terrorist. Since the terrorist refers to “someone who uses violent action, or
threats of violent action, for political purposes” CALD3 then the government is a person who in authority can do anything for the political purpose.
The other processes which are useful to support the ideology are the verbal processes and existential processes. The mental processes consist of desiderative,
cognitive, affective and perceptive. The types of mental processes often appear is perceptive. It means that the mental process support ideology through the actor’s
perception. Below are the excerpts. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
68 It Senser feels Process like dejavu of Agent Orange and VietnamPhenomenon S13.C11
69 And the government says, We Senser dont know Process the source of his sickness. Phenomenon S1.C2d
The excerpt 68 has pronoun, it which refers to the situation of government’s lying. The mental verb process, feel carriers the meaning of
perception. The perception is that the phenomenon the real Senser, we ever experienced dejavu the current situation as like the previous incidents: Agent
Orange and Vietnam. In excerpt 69, the verb process, know is the cognition. It contains negative
meaning. It means the Senser, we, does not acquiring knowledge about the Phenomenon. The notion is the government refuses to admit that they know the
source of his sickness. In other word, the government does not want to be responsible. The word, the source refers to the subject test material such as
radiation and others chemical substances. The verbal processes are about the Verbiage of the Sayer and to who the
verbiage is referred to Recipient. In supporting ideology, it shows what the government says and how the saying affects the society. There are some clauses
carry the verbal process. They are presented in the following excerpts.
70 At news conference Circumstance, they Sayer claim Process, “we listen” Verbiage while they lock out their own constituents
CircumstanceS8.C7 71 Their explanation Sayer is Process it’s national interest, national
security... VerbiageS5.C8 72 They Sayer are telling Process you Receiver if you are a
patriot that “You better do what youre told”Verbiage S2.C6
In excerpt 70, the Verbiage indicates that government as the representatives are cared to listen for their constituents. They state it when they do
a news conference. In excerpt 71, the use of possessive pronoun, their, is to state the explanation owned by the government. The explanation is stated in the
Verbiage. It is about the reason of forcing society to pay tax dollars. In excerpt 72, the Verbiage is said by government for the society. As the leader of nation,
government use power to control society by saying that being a patriot is being submissive to every command.
The existential processes exist are as much as six clauses. The representation of the actor is just in government and society. Basically two
participants required in the processes are the Existential which is about the use of there + to be in the clauses and the Existent can be the phenomenon of any kind.
The process is found employ two meanings: exist and does not exist. It is shown in appendix 3. The excerpts carry the existential process is presented below.
73 [At little big horn national cemetery Circumstance], there is Existential a flag Existent there flying high over the fallen
killers graves Circumstance S5.C9b 74 There are Existential no action, no interest, no humanity
Existent at all S14.C6b 75 The bill of rights Existent does not exist Existential S10.C2
76 There is Existential no allegiance Existent to the boards
homeland, fellow citizens, and the flag born of their country Circumstance. S12.C2
In excerpt 73, a flag is the symbol of the nation which the nation authority uses to brainwash nationalism concept to the citizens. In excerpt 74, the bill of
rights refer to the constituents “a written document which forms the set of PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
political principles by which a state or organization is governed, especially in relation to the rights of the people it governs” CALD3. Unfortunately it does not
exist. It means the laws have no function. In excerpt 75, the action-interest- humanity refers to the government’s character that seemingly has no action, no
interest, and no humanity. The allegiance refers to the “loyalty and support for a ruler, country, group or belief” CALD3. In excerpt 6, the allegiance is given to
the boards homeland, fellow citizens, and the flag born of their country. Government is considered has no allegiance at all to the mentioned people.
In representing the anti-authoritarian nationalism, 16 examples contains modals are obtained from the selected song lyrics. All types of modality are
employed to support the emergence of the ideology. The occurrence of each type will be classified based on high, mid and low modal meanings. Its detailed
occurrence can be seen in appendix 5. The first type, Probability emerges eight times and becomes the most
emerged modal. It consists of five mid Probability and 3 low Probability. The mid Probability shows that the process seems to be probable to occur. On the contrary,
the process seems not probable to happen be shown by low probability. The examples show the mid and low probability is shown below.
77 If you make it home alive you will die young S13.C6 78 They were throwing it away until they figured out they could use it
for armament S13.C9.
Excerpt 77 is the example of positive mid probability as it is indicated by pronoun, will. The actor probably dies young. It is about the probability impact on
the actor if they keep making America as their home for living. The probability indicates the lack of feeling proud of a nation, being a citizen of America.
Another example carries the positive low probability as expressed by could in excerpt 78. Both modals are modal auxiliaries. The mid probability means that
something is probably occurred while the low probability means that something is possibly occurred. The actor as the government possibly does an action. It is about
the possibility to use the depleted uranium for armament. The depleted uranium is possibly be used as it is proven in war. The use of it in war kills large numbers of
people and cause diseases such as leukemia and birth malfunction. Obligation is the second most occurred modal. It occurs as much as six
times in four high obligations and two mid obligations. The high obligation shows that the processes are highly required to occur while the mid obligation is the vice
versa. The examples below will present the modals carry obligation.
79 You have gotta die for your government? You have gotta die for
your country? S1.C1
80 So if the heads of state want to end terrorism, they should go ahead
and kill themselves S14.C2
To support ideology, Obligation shows the level of a matter does do and don’t. In excerpt 79, the modal, have gotta is the example of high obligation. It
is a semi modal which carry the meaning of need to or have got to. Furthermore, it is also a positive obligation. It means that the process is positively required to
occur. The excerpt is expressed in interrogative sentence. The actor which is the citizens asks about their submission of dying for their government and country.
Dying for government and country is a command of the authority. It is also an PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
output of the national brainwashing. In excerpt 80, the modal, should carry the mid obligation. As a modal auxiliary, it used to show when something is so
obligingly occurred. It is also positively required to occur. Therefore, the government is required to kill themselves if they want to end terrorism.
For Usuality, there two examples carry its use. One carries the high usuality and other is low. The high Usuality shows how a process is so usually occurred.
The mid Usuality is not usually occur. The two examples are presented as follows.
81 I never will pledge allegiance to their flag S1.C8b 82 You are getting used, you will end up dead S1.C9
The excerpt 81 expresses the high usuality but it occurs in negative meaning. It means, the process is not usual to occur. The fuse of modal adverb
never and modal auxiliary, will indicate the meaning. The Usuality delivers the meaning of frequency of doing an action or happening of an action. In excerpt
82, the modal emphasizes the permanent habit of the actor. As the citizen, the actor rejects to pledge allegiance to the flag. In other words, the actor supports the
anti-nationalism. The mid Usuality expressed in the excerpt 83 is positive meaning. The use of modal auxiliary will means that the process is so usual to
occur. The usual output of being submit to the authority is dead. The actor in this case the citizen is the tool of the government. As the tool, their life is not worthy
which means death usually occur on them. Two examples expressed the Inclination. One carries the positive high inclination and other carries the negative
high Inclination. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
83 When they call on me to die for them I will say... not me S5.C9 84 I will not sign my blind faith away to an unjustly leader of the unjust
police state. S14.C3 The Inclination denotes three meanings of representation. The low as
willingness, the mid can be glossed as intention, and the high as determination. The high inclination represents the determination. For excerpt 83, it means the
process is positively determined to occur. The modal highlights the determination of the actor to reject to die for them. The determination that the actor as the citizen
has to say as the self-statement against the national brainwash by the authority: the calling to die for them. The excerpt 84 means that the process is not
determined to occur. It highlights the determination of signing blind faith to the government. The actor rejects to believe on the leader of the nation and the police
state which they call it unjustly. The statement also contains the feeling no proud for the nation.
About the pronoun analysis, the frequent actor is government. It is represented in as much as 22 clauses in anti-authoritarian nationalism ideology. It
mostly appears in pronoun, they. It means that the number of protest in Anti-Flag song lyrics are proposed to government and the Anti-Flag places themselves as
the in-group with the society. The second protest is proposed to society. To do protest, Anti-Flag mostly appear as out of the group. It expressed by pronoun, I in
three clauses while its appearance as in group. The pronouns represent government and Anti-Flag is provided in the excerpts below.
85 They use the flag to control us S3.C1a 86 I dont need you to tell me what to do and I dont need you to tell me
what to be. FUCK YOU S1.C10 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
