I think Battlefields and I had a spirited discussion once about who was the biggest narcissist. We both wanted the title but at the end of the day I had to concede defeat. Can't win 'em all.
Well, I liked it up to the point where they hedged with a not so subtle reference to killing people.
I kinda wish all the people who wanted to fight it out got a chance to do just that. Wanna kill each other? Sign here, here and here for your complimentary chainsaw and GoPro.
Keep the revolution alive until some producer can retire on a fuckton of money from selling the footage. {edit: even this isn't accurate. If there's money in it, it will last forever}
Whoever said the revolution will not be televised? That man was not jaded enough to see how the world really works.
I wonder which label produced this one? I'd go hunting to see which company is turning a buck but does it really matter?

I know Anti Flag has their own label A-F Records, but I think this particular album was put out through Vevo.
As far as the "until you fascists are six feet deep" line...I dunno what to tell you. Fascists and a peaceful world are incompatible. One way or another, they have to be dealt with. If someone comes up with a concept where I can go get in an organized gang fight with people willing to actually fight under the flag of fascism, I'd sign up today and hitch hike to get there.
I'm always ready to fuck up a nazi, fascist, nationalist, or proud boy.

Yeah those guys suck. I'll give you that.
It's a shit show, man but there's more people who will exploit violence for personal gain than there are people willing to make sure things are done right.
I look at all those guys that joined up with the Bolsheviks with a mix of pity and contempt.
Pity for being snookered so bad by Lenin and the fact that they really were fighting an evil regime, and contempt for propping up the highest body count strain of oppressive political ideology that the world's ever seen.
My advice is be really, really careful who you hitch your wagon too.

Yeah, I'm not down with Marxist-leninist (tankies) for similar reasons I'm not down with Liberalism. They'll use the support of anarchists to take power, then attempt to crush us just the same as any fascist would. Just look at what the bolsheviks did to anarchist Ukraine after the white army was defeated.
That said, I think the days of calling for civility and decorum are over for the time being. Fascists and nationalists are no longer using euphemisms for their abhorrent ideas, they just say it or loud now. They are here, they are willing to crush us, and we're going to have to fight them at more than the ballot box in order to survive. Populism politics are going to be a fact of life for at least the next decade or so. People are going to have to choose either right (race and nation) populism or left (solidarity and class) populism.

They use their groups to provoke a reaction and then play the victim card the second there is any kind of reaction at all.
You see that right?
The hypocrisy does them no damage whatsoever.
If they come in swinging the smart move is to take it as long as the cameras are rolling. Those dumb neo-nazi mother fuckers can't help themselves. They will walk right into a trap every fucking time if you go with non-violence. Their whole thing is a 12 year old's version of power and dominance sans intellectual understanding.
If they send a bunch of idiot frat boys out to beat up cornered stragglers be sure the cameras are there. Fuck, every single person should be wearing a GoPro at those protests or counter protests as long as they know how to keep their hands clean.
Take that "Unite the Right" rally nonsense. They did themselves infinite damage and drew the attention of national law enforcement. History repeats itself again and again. The old Klan is just like the new klan. Stupid, backwards and determined to ruin everything they touch.
On the other hand, if they take up guns and try to do something criminal akin to a coup, well, that's a different story but that's a few years off. Not so far though if people keep sitting on their hands when they shouldn't but that's another conversation.
