...but an even better music video when combined with the lyrics.
Essentially, it's the mentality of I know what's best. What gets to me is the tearing down of statues, the rotation of power to power, and both sides knowing what's right for the people. This eventually leads to repeating history's mistake as history is forgotten when you tear down statues and get rid of past literature, which is essential so you don't repeat past errors as it has been shown that history does repeat itself.
This really hits the Red, White, and Blue if you are aware that the average lifespan of a civilization is 336 years, which is pretty close to the colonization of America (2020 - 1607 = 413). Though to be fair, beating the Redcoats was most likely the "flipping of a statue" (as seen in the music video) and we still have a good 92 years (1776 + 336 = 2112) before the United States' collapse; other nations around the world, on the brink or already happening.

Lyrics:
Tim Pool - The Will of the People (Lyrics) said:Out on a march, in the morning
He called his soldiers down
To take aim at the traitors
To gun those rebels down
Now they’ll face the consequences they held themselves above;
This is the will of the people!
He said
«I wish I could spare them, make them see the path.»
«But tempting as that sounds, I’ll have to pass.»
«I know what’s needed for the good of my people
To save them.»
Out in the dark, without warning
He raised his fist above
Let a cry to his people
To tear those statues down
Now they’ll face the consequences they held themselves above;
This is the will of the people!
He said
«I wish I could spare them, make them see the path.»
«But tempting as that sounds, I’ll have to pass.»
«I know what’s needed for the good of my people
To save them.»
Now drop your arms and march for them
Face the wall, and bow your head
If you have any last words, let them be said
Out on a march, in the morning
He called his comrades down
To take aim at the traitors
To gun those fascists down
Now they’ll face the consequences they held themselves above;
This is the will of the people!
He said
«I wish I could spare them, make them see the path.»
«Blessed were those days we held in vein.»
«I’d give it up for a chance at redemption!»
As the cycle turns again
You’ve seen it before, now you’ll see it begin
But hate begets hate, the violence stirs again
You think it ends here? Just wait, my friend…
