apparently there is a “rave collective” in toronto that has offered to be on-call for any reports of right-wing protests to bring a portable sound system and drown them out with 200bpm hardcore acid techno

i am so fucking here for this

(if any toronto friends need their services, they’re called The Acid Reign and they’re on ig as @acidrp)
@jepyang That is a no-cap banger of a name. 😁
@jepyang
Hey @mayintoronto this seems like a good resource for you and those in your networks to know about!
@jepyang I would have expected them to go by the name "Rave against the machine"

@brhfl riiight?! omg. back in the midwest there was a motorcycle club that would go and just rev their bikes any time the westboro baptist church would show up to be horrible about something, which i also love. but this is even better lmao
@jepyang we had a bunch of gay bikers kick the klan out of a local pride a while back but i don’t even think they had to do much lol, fucking hooded cowards that they are
@jepyang Wow, that is awesome! We need more of this!!!
@jepyang There was briefly a small marching band in my hometown that had the same idea, but it didn't stick, sadly.

@ElectricDryad @jepyang there was also some guy with a sousaphone who would march alongside Nazis playing March of the Elephants over and over, which was pretty damn good

I wonder if anyone has tried yakkity sax?

@ariaflame That's a phenomenally difficult piece ...

@ElectricDryad @jepyang

Silicon Valley democrat socialists of America had a band for a moment. We didn't use it for activism. But we did march in the Mayday Parade.

@jepyang What's this generation's version of Hetzjagd auf Nazis, anyway?

@jepyang Awesome!

Here in Denmark, there was this dude, who would rock up to right-wing extremist protests armed with a saxophone and a sign saying something like: “Free jazz against racism”. Then he would start producing the loudest and most hideous sounds on the sax, and he would continue relentlessly, until the extremists packed their shit up and left.

@nerdd @jepyang Saxophones FTW!
@dana @jepyang Yes! It is a glorious musical instrument.
@nerdd @jepyang Totally agree. I've got four of 'em!
@nerdd @jepyang 😄 There's someone in the UK who follows politicians around playing a massive sousaphone. There's a video at this link: https://uncrate.com/video/british-politician-followed-by-sousaphone/
British Politician Followed by Sousaphone

If only politics were like this in America....

@anne_twain @nerdd @jepyang

And lets not forget Stop Brexit Man Steve Bray, who loudly played D:Ream's "Things Can Only Get Better" on the edge of Downing Street as Rishi Sunak announced a general election in pouring rain. The song is clearly audible in all the press coverage:

@anne_twain @nerdd @jepyang

Oh yeah, we should do this in the Netherlands with #fabertje 😂

@nerdd @jepyang Kazoo and megaphone. Enough said.
@wryl @nerdd @jepyang haha I have two young children who could really really contribute to this effort.
@minmi @nerdd @jepyang Weaponized joy against fascists. I'm down with this.
@wryl @nerdd @jepyang this reminds me if when ny boyfriend discovered the joy of following me around playing the kazoo in his karaoke microphone.
I have to say, I might start carrying my kazoo around.

@nerdd @jepyang

Few instruments can compete with the saxophone when played with obnoxiousness intent.

@bruce @nerdd @jepyang bagpipes…

@Toxic_Flange @nerdd @jepyang

I just tried to picture such a competition, and my blood ran cold. Truly terrifying to contemplate.

@Toxic_Flange @bruce @nerdd @jepyang bagpipes were designed to be used outdoor tho, so makes sense.

@nerdd @jepyang my ex-gf and her friends used to play circus music loudly at nazi gatherings. They hated it.

@nerdd @jepyang we need 10,000 sax players to show up for the orange clown's birthday military parade...
@nerdd @jepyang so cool! where can we find more about?
@nerdd
I want to do this and I have no idea how to operate a saxophone.
@jepyang @Janeishly

Here we go, it was called “Free Jazz Mod Paludan!” (“Free Jazz Against Paludan!”): https://www.instagram.com/smagpaadigselv/p/B_rgZ9MB3rd/

It was specifically directed toward a right wing extremist asshole, Rasmus Paludan, who almost got elected for the Danish parliament 6 years ago (he’s got a quite extensive wikipedia page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasmus_Paludan).

I recall that as a graduate student in the late 1960s I had a next door neighbour who started to have BBC Radio 2 on quite loud late at night (possible to mask the sound of various nocturnal activities).

I discovered Peter Brötzmann's Machine Gun. I played it once and never heard anything from him again.

I still feel a little guilty about that,..

@nerdd @jepyang somewhere in the states there was a guy following far right marches, playing a heavy "elephant walking" rhythm on a tuba

Videos on YouTube, but I'm on a bus ATM, not gonna inflict YouTube searches on other passengers

@nerdd @jepyang Makes me wish I played sax...

@jepyang

Not all heroes wear capes. Some carry sound systems.

@jepyang Reminded of when the Vengaboys joined the Austrian antifa after Austrians made 'We're going to Ibiza' go back in the charts because a fash politician was caught in a sting-operation by a press publication accepting a potential bribe from Russians.
@jepyang Sounds awesome, shame i'm on the wrong continent!

@jepyang the underground has always been a safe space for the marginalized!

i saw a fucking kekistan flag at Shambhala on the same day the Charlottesville Unite the Right attack happened and it was on-sight.....defend your scene no matter what it is, fight where we stand.
