My volcanic level of contempt for the far left, which actually exceeds that for the far right, can be neatly summed up in the events of the last four months that didn't happen. Every day, I'd been building up to Fires Of Rebellion, and every day I was wondering if today would be the day I heard it was cancelled because some lefty goons had openly accused one or all of the bands of being Nazis for no apparent reason whatsoever. Viking Phil said the same thing, to the point where he didn't want to look at a text every time he received one in case it was the cancellation notice. Fortunately, it didn't happen, and last night was so thunderously brilliant it might even have put a smile on Valfar's face had he lived to see it. As for every other band on the bill offering their sincere thanks to Steve of Old Corpse Road for putting it together, I can only repeat that even louder and hope he does it again.
because Scandinavians sing about the same things without getting any grief (is it only ok if foreigners do it?)
It's not just them, it's the Scots as well, for instance; I don't have access to Cnocantursa's lyrics, and it's doubtful that any of them came through last night, but what I gather they're howling about Hail Scotland this, Bannockburn that, with bits of Bonnie Prince Charlie and most likely William Wallace on the side, and short of painting their faces blue and white and wearing kilts it's not possible for them to be any more "SCOTLAND! FUCK YEAH!" And, as far as I am aware, Antifa have never touched them. As soon as Winterfylleth come up with "ENGLAND, FUCK YEAH!" instead, they get branded and exiled. It seems to be the mere mention of England that's the problem - the flag, the name of the country, the words "Anglo-Saxon", they've all been hijacked by those BNP scrotes, and how long is it going to be before everyone in the whole of England is dragged into it?
It's a modern witch hunt encouraged by the far left
...the exact words used by Wodensthrone after the Cancelfest debacle. Innocent or guilty proved, we'll burn you just the same. Burrrrrrrrrninggaaahhh, into the firrrrrrrrreeeeeaaaagggghhhh, etc...
...incidentally, I can think of a few of Martin's Skyclad lyrics that would get Antifa riled and would have him accused of being a Nazi, when we all know he's one of the most left-wing hippies on the face of the Earth. He manages to do it without the overt obnoxiousness of the extreme left that makes me despise them so much, and in 15 days he'll also be compering Gathering Of The Clans, personally introducing all the bands. And who's that in the headline slot? That's right, it's Wodensthrone!
Now, I am going to ... while listening to "oh but it might be racist because they sing about Saxons" music.
As am I. Those Old Corpse Road CDs aren't going to play themselves!
