Danger Dan and Igor Levit: Anger over cancelled ZDF appearance

taz – die tageszeitungIndependentProgressiveFactual 98Objective 705 days ago

The article discusses a song titled 'Keine Angst' by Danger Dan, which explores themes of anti-fascist activism and resistance strategies. The lyrics suggest forming anonymous local groups to organize secret actions against far-right elements, such as organizing DIY festivals, using spray paint and stickers to counter fascist presence, and avoiding digital communication to prevent surveillance. The piece emphasizes discretion, anonymity, and direct confrontation with far-right individuals while highlighting the challenges of engaging with those who are ideologically entrenched. It reflects on the practical aspects of grassroots anti-fascist work, including gathering intelligence on far-right activities and building covert networks.

This framing subtly influences the reader’s perception and introduces a degree of subjectivity, even if the article itself remains largely descriptive.

The ZDF head, Norbert Himmler, defended the decision to exclude rapper Danger Dan from the satirical show Die Anstalt, stating that his song 'Keine Angst' serves as a 'guide to leftist, violent resistance.' He admitted the decision process was flawed due to its short notice but stood by the content-based reasoning. Danger Dan denied inciting violence through his music and had planned to perform the song with pianist Igor Levit during the show's 100th episode. The ZDF's last-minute intervention sparked widespread criticism, including from the show's team and the German Journalists Association, who argued that such decisions should rest with the editorial team. In response, Danger Dan and Levit announced an alternative concert titled 'Die keine Angstalt,' with proceeds going to support victims of right-wing violence.
