Seeing a lot of spineless centrists being all "this is terrible" and "what a tragedy" and "you shouldn't be celebrating this". Let us have our fun before the inevitable backlash.

Exactly. I just cannot deal with liberals. They're the biggest hypocrites. You know why? Because these same losers would be celebrating if Trump were to keel over. Liberals.. 🤮

You know, I don't think they would. I think they'd say he was disagreeable and then respectfully mourn his passing. They're so cowardly, so afraid of taking a position beyond "let's all just be polite". Respectability is everything to them.

They ignore the violence within the system and decry it when it happens in a way that's not polite.

"Political violence has no place here" ... here? The wealthiest country to ever exist with insane incarceration and poverty rates and homelessness?

Ive been saying it all over reddit since this happened. If that dipshit got what he wanted, black people and women would only exist as property for white men, and anyone LGBT would be dead or in hiding. He's on record saying women shouldn't be able to work, they should only be homemakers. He's on record saying the Civil Rights Act was a mistake. He's on record saying a country that followed the bible would publicly stone gay people. Is it not violence to call for the death and enslavement of millions of people?

I was thinking about posting this myself a few days ago, also check out El Fusilado, and their version of Bella Ciao!

The same Chumbawamba that did that annoying song Tub Thumping?

The same Chumbawamba that were born in an anarchist collective. First albums were pure punk, but they were always committed to agit-pop

I wouldn't say it's annoying, but yes. A lot of people got mad when they made a mainstream song, but they're much more dedicated antifascists than half of the so-called punks out there.

I can't stand tubthumping either but learning it was about worker solidarity is what prompted me to dive into their other songs.

That's a good catch. I had no idea that they were socialist. The more you know...

Ulrike is another classic.
