Gain some fucking perspective, separate the artist from the art.

I think it's funny what these people find important. You got second degree murderers and people who've assaulted pregnant women that get unwaivering support from their millions of hip hop fans on soundcloud, but one little black metal band puts up a swastika 11+ years ago and everyone in antifa freaks the fuck out.

Gain some fucking perspective, separate the artist from the art.

So you're mad a group formed to literally combat one thing and one thing alone, fascism, isn't also yelling at underground rappers for domestic abuse?

It's why punk has been shit for over 30 years and why metal has been following in punk's footsteps for the last 20+ years.

state-sanctioned

Is it okay for Antifa to send bomb threats to venues, gang up on metalheads walking alone, and fight back against police (see Messe Des Morts 2016)? No.

Antifa is fighting fascism by dressing up like ISIS and violently intimidating people with the wrong opinion. Wow! Totally different from fascism! Sounds like a distinction without a difference there. No matter if Antifa or the fascists win, we will lose. Neither of them will protect my freedom of speech.

If this post has some truth to it, Antifa is the problem.

Based on my interactions with them and how they run the place, I'm sure they did cancel the show because they perceived some kind of threat or bad press, not because they think Taake are villains.

Metalsucks is reporting Taake’s Entire North American Tour Has Been Canceled.

MetalSucks linked to this Tumblr blog, or whatever it is, in their article and I can't fucking believe my eyes : http://red-and-anarchist-black-metal.tu ... i-piece-of

It is with great regret that we have to inform you that Taake's US Tour has been cancelled. Despite all those incredible people who stepped up and tried to help us save the tour, and to whom we are more grateful than we can express, time and logistics are just not on our side. It was not our wish to cancel, but the decision was forced on us by the illegal activities of Antifa and its supporters who applied pressure on venues and promoters to cancel shows. Pressure, it has to be said, that has frequently been accompanied with threats of violence both towards those involved in the organisation and towards any fans attending (not to mention the bands who would be playing). Why these threats are not reported to the police, we don't know.
We have explained on many, many occasions, the history behind what caused the problems, and there are plenty of articles in the unbiased press and on social media where you can read the truth of it, but just for the sake of clarity Taake is not now, has never been, and never will be a Nazi band. What we want to address here is the cancellation of the tour itself.
This cancellation is unfortunate in many ways, not just for the bands who were going to take part. Not just for the ordinary working Americans with families to support and bills to pay who have lost much needed income because of it. Not just for the fans who wanted to see the bands. Not just for music fans in general. But, also, and more importantly, for America as a whole.
Why? Because it is the ultimate demonstration of how, through the dissemination of lies, misinformation and unfounded accusations, along with credible threats of violence, a small minority of left wing agitators are able to force their agenda on the majority, and deprive music fans of their freedom to attend concerts and go about their day to day activities without the fear of reprisals and retaliation.
And these agitators won't stop once they have destroyed the soft targets from Europe and other parts of the world. Their next targets will be American music, American art, American literature, American theatre, American cinema. Anything, in fact, that does not adhere strictly to their views. And if this reminds you of the McCarthy witch hunts, it is because that is EXACTLY what it is like.
Whilst none of us blame venues for cancelling because they are afraid of violence, we do deplore the excuses presented by some of them. The desire to "protect" their audience and staff, to create "safe spaces" is not a need brought about by the bands involved, nor their fans. It is the masked thugs hiding behind the banner of Antifa and other organisations like them, who are doing all the threatening. And maybe we should also remind these venues that so many of the musical genres today exist due to those other small venues back in the day who dared stand up to threats and gave a voice to those musicians who brought us Blues and Jazz - the basis of so much of today's music.
We would also like to speak out about celebrities like Talib Kweli, who was unfortunate enough to have allowed himself to be played by the lies spread by Antifa and who, as a result, issued statements that are libellous and slanderous. His heart may have misguidedly been in the right place, but his brain, and his legal advisors, were not. Had he bothered to check the facts he would have realised that he had put himself in a position of looking like someone who doesn't know, or understand, or even care about, all the facts, and who is easily manipulated by others to dance to their tune.
We should also mention those members of the press who failed to fact check and did not bother to contact us, or anyone else for that matter, for our side of the story. They simply went right ahead and printed libellous statements. This is irresponsible journalism at its worst, and we can't just single out inexperienced editors of webzines. Complicit in this are long-established and (once) respected publications. Their actions show the utter contempt they have for facts and the disrespect they have for their readers.
Ending on a positive note, we really do need thank those who stood by us, and especially the venues who refused to be cowed, and those that stepped in offering us alternatives for cancelled shows. We have had messages from all over the world, and from people of all political and religious persuasions, offering not just their support, but also offering their help. And these are not just our fans. We have been contacted by people who admit that they had never heard of us, or that they hate black metal, or that they hate Taake, but have nevertheless felt compelled to let us know of the disgust they feel at the way Antifa, and their like, demand slavish adherence to their agenda, and punish anyone who defies them, riding roughshod over the freedoms of the American people to decide for themselves.
You, my friends, do not need to apologise for the lies and actions of a fringe group. You are the majority, you are the ones who refuse to bow your heads to those who would dictate how you live your lives, and who attempt to restrict your freedoms - you are the ones who can do something about it.

Statement from Taake:
...

Well, this is a sad situation for the fans of Taake in America who are now not able to see them live. I bet the Antifa thugs who threatened and intimidated venue owners sleep well tonight. They defeated facsists after all! They are the moral crusaders of justice and kindness!

Fuck Antifa. They use violent intimidation to pressure people to cancel music events. They are bullies and thugs, and we should all stand up to them in the name of free speech and liberty. And no, I'm not talking about the technical details of the 1st anmendment, I'm talking about the spirit of free expression.

We do not have to tolerate intolerance. I'll bet Antifa starts burning books and records soon, without realizing the irony.

I'll worry about them if they ever have a chance of affecting any real change in this country. Right now it's super niche and not that big of a deal in the grand scheme.

Dr. Peterson explains why this is happening at this time and why these antifa bozos (together with the pathetic current left) are under the delusion that they are the final synthesis of human morals. Because of that youthful and pretentious delusion, they have concluded that they have the monopoly of virtues in the history of mankind. In their heads, the history of human morals and philosophical development goes something like this: Plato > Aristotle > St. Thomas Aquinas > Descartes > Schopenhauer > 25 year old spoilt antifa with a solid background in reading counter culture pamphlets and having the worldview of the progressive establishment, basically the worldview of the “lefty beautiful people”; Katy Perry saying we should all “just like, co exist” (nobody ever tried that, we are glad she’s here to be a template of a human to us). Naturally, since those dynamos of the history of morals think their worldview coincides with the absolute objective moral climax of the history of ethics, as well as with reality itself, they concluded that they will cleanse the world of people that they don't like/who don’t agree with them, starting with censorship, and then attacking people.

Of course there is NOT a real Nazi problem in the USA. Half a dozen idiots in Charlottesville in a population of 310 MILLION people doesn't mean a real issue. The left is hysterical, they are having a hissy fit because empirical, tangible reality and human nature/history has nothing to do with their idiotic utopian perspectives/frustrations and resentment towards the world, and they want their agenda, political doctrine, ideological principles and worldview to be turned into state policy. FINALLY, they are admitting that freedom of speech is not a value to them.

Liberals, marxists, leftists = the garbage of the west. Ideologically challenged people who know NOTHING about the history of philosophy and have NO IDEA of where their idiotic post-Frankfurt, post-Gramsci, Derrida identity politics (which they use as a substitute for having and ego/meaning in life/responsibility) came from. A bunch of idiotic kids who had their heads destroyed by pathetic ideology via counter culture, memes, leftist websites, 1960s nostalgia and punk/rock lyrics written by semi-literate 20 year olds. The current left is the most PATHETIC popular incarnation of Marx's dialectics and western post 19th century progressivism since the 1917 revolution.

The current "caviar left" (kids whom are taken by habits, mannerisms, comforts, technology, even addictions, which only exist on this galaxy due to the developments of the bourgeoisie class and of free market capitalism... with a virtue signalling, NARCISSISTIC, pseudo-socialist discourse) are the most ridiculous, idiotic, degraded, undignified, uninformed, stupid version of anti western thought that ever came out of this pseudo-scientific/sociological tradition, whose contribution to the history of mankind was a century of death and genocide. It’s like an army of vice readers who think they are the ones chosen by destiny to define the fate of human civilization. Clueless fashion obsessed hipsters and youth-subculture kids who inflate their egos to feel they have some kind of importance in the history of the species, spewing out the most laughable ideological re-heated 1960s slogans, childish worldviews and cliches, whilst enjoying a lifestyle which could only exist in western civilization. The left simply can't sink any lower.

The singular and constant response by Taake on this from the beginning should have been "fuck off and fuck you." The long winded pontificating does nothing to help his cause and simply gives the Antifa scum more validation.

All you really need to know about this post is that it's opened by "Dr. Peterson explains".

I was gonna respond to some of that YouTube regurgitated bullshit but it's really not worth it.

The first German movement to call itself Antifaschistische Aktion was proclaimed by the German Communist Party (KPD) in their newspaper Rote Fahne in 1932 and held its first rally in Berlin on 10 July 1932, then capital of the Weimar Republic.[citation needed] Its two-flag logo, designed by Association of Revolutionary Visual Artists members Max Keilson and Max Gebhard, remains a widely used symbol of militant anti-fascism.

In the French, British, and American zones, Antifas began to recede by the late summer of 1945, marginalized by Allied bans on political organization and by re-emerging divisions within the movement between Communists and others, while in East Germany the Antifa groups were absorbed into the new Stalinist state.[1] On 11 July 1945, the Soviets permitted the formation of the "United Front of the Antifascist-Democratic Parties"

You are not gonna respond to any of anything because you are not informed about this issue, and you are NOT a part of this discussion in the realms of the adult world, and there's absolutely NOTHING that your counter culture subculture personality can add to that discussion.

We live in an age where people want attention and will do whatever gets them more likes on social media.

I 100% disagree with this. I think saying "fuck off and fuck you" would validate antifa, because then they would say, "see, they're just a bunch of vulgar idiots and we did the right thing." I think Taake's response was more or less the correct response.
