”Aasian Black Sabbathin” laulaja on nyt diplomaatti, joka varoittaa suomalaisia: Älkää olko naiiveja

Taiwanin lähettiläs ja metallimusiikkitähti Freddy Lim tietää suomalaisiakin paremmin, millaista on elää laajentumishaluisen suurvallan naapurissa.

ROAR for #Taiwan: When I heard that former NPP legislator and #humanrights activist #FreddyLim has been appointed as Taiwan's de-facto ambassador in #Finland, I jokingly said his #Chthonic band mates may as well visit him for a fine night of #Metal in Helsinki.
Turns out this has already happened last weekend at the FFF #Formosa Finland Fest, teaming up with TW bands Crescent Lament and Flesh Juicer and some Finnish bands.
Loving it folks!

Taiwanin seuraava edustaja Suomessa on näemmä entinen lainsäätäjä, aktivisti ja metallimuusikko Freddy "Left Face of Maradou" Lim, joka tunnetaan maailmallakin Chthonic-yhtyeen laulajana. Ulkoministeri Lin Chia-lungin mukaan Limillä on hommaan vaadittavaa kansainvälistä perspektiiviä ja kokemusta erityisesti ihmisoikeusdiplomatiasta. Taipei Timesissa väläytellään myös mahdollisuutta yhteistyöstä Limin ja suomalaisen metalliskenen välillä. https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2025/05/19/2003837150

(Allekirjoittaneessa Limin nimitys herättää myös toiveita siitä, että #CollageDuo #珂拉琪 saataisiin Suomeen keikalle. Kyseinen kokoonpano kuitenkin sai alkunsa Chthonicin coveroimisesta ja on esiintynyt näiden kanssa Megaport-festivaalilla.)

I have a weirdly trivial question in the current situation…

Why does the #PFLP have such good music? Or why is there so much music out there with their name and logo?

"propaganda" is the short answer… but where does it come from? How does it get made?

Is one of their members multi talented? like #FreddyLim - the Taiwanese sepatist MP in Taiwan's parliament and vocalist for #Chthonic

Do they have an advertising and media department that recruits musicians to make music for them?

Do supporters make music and dedicate it to them?

Is there a bizarre Internet hoax on an Arabic language version of 4chan to label embarrassing stuff PFLP as a prank on #WesternLeftists who don't know Arabic?
