May Day: any ideas?

Submitted by heartskat on 8 April, 2008 - 19:41.

What are you up to for May Day beside getting pissed? Or do you have any idea of something funny and highly provocative you could do in a middle class town full of hippies/students who always. A town which always start any social movement in France ( yeah, that's Rennes) and has been recently lacking energy and originality.
I got a job so I can't think anymore.

Nuke them from orbit.

That's an idea but wouldn't it be better to wait for the summer solstice rather than Beltaine?
And I don't think we have that amount of money to do so.

I (and others) had Big Macs thrown at us on a May Day march once from an apartment 2 stories up. I threw one back and it went through the window and hit someone, so I felt pretty cool. Almost got arrested but some nice people got in between the cops and me smile

Was kinda weird, to think that people had obviously gone out and bought up big at McDs purely to throw at the march...

Asher, this is mad. Why one would throw big macs on may day? Oh, I see it is an ultra liberal statement maybe...

10 April, 2008 - 02:26

they probably didnt buy it specifically to throw at the march, probably just an assholish spur of the moment thing.

hope you hit 'em hard! smile

Throw cobblestones, its gas.

Get Pete Doherty back to London to do some songs like '05, much better than Tony Benn talking for ages.

He's in prison.

I think it was specifically for us, they had a hell of a lot....

I assume it was the whole "Hey, there's a bunch of anti-capitalists marching, lets throw one of the biggest symbols of capitalism we can think of at them" kind of thing...

Our desire for freedom is stronger than their prisons etc.

Organising a right wing demo is always fun but it is a lot of organising and you have to have a good number of people who can keep serious for hours. Because this year may day is also ascension day so there will be mass and all. The usual demo will be in the morning like mass. Shall we rob a macdonalds and throw big macs at catholic bigots?

Its cute that a burger is can be regarded as one of the biggest symbols of capitalism. I guess they didnt have that flag america stuck in the moon to hand though. Money would also work I guess.

Just to clarify in case it wasn't obvious, when I said "one of the biggest symbols of capitalism", I was making guesses as to what was in their minds, not putting my own analysis on the role of Big Macs in capitalist society tongue

If they'd thrown money I would've been stoked.

I am aware.
