In November I did a long interview with a chinese journalist about protest songs and Atari Teenage Riot. It’s amazing that our song “Black Flags” still inspires protestors around the world who are fighting for freedom. In this case in Hong Kong. 8 years ago the world seemed a completely different place. Just the fact that during the Occupy protests libertarians, anarchists and communists were openly discussing politics while being part of the same movement. This would be unthinkable now. Which brings me to something important: Be careful of people who claim they found the ‘truth’ and all they do from that point on is to defend that ‘truth’. Even with violence. Join those who s e a r c h for truth... ... understand that we can often only see a small piece of a bigger puzzle... that’s why we humans cooperate when we want to find solutions.
