Why are protestors so bad at chants?

If tweet fails to load, click here. Repeating the same stupid thing over and over, then parroting a moronic chant that they screw up.
United and defeated don't even rhyme
Their chants are shite
How about "we're un-employable, and rhyming is our foible."
They could take a lesson from the rugby crowd and the soccer hooligans.

It's sort of interesting that antifa disappeared for 4 years. I wonder what national event brought them back out of hibernation?

How sad is a city when the police pull back over protestors.
They won’t leave, you thump a few skulls and the rest will back off.

You expect those types of people to be intellectually capable or clever?
The fact that the majority of those protests take place during core working hours says all you need to know.

When you’re paid to show up, you probably didn’t have practices.

Look, I'm proof positive that any moron can at least rhyme.

how does that group take control of anything?

They already suck at everything else. That's why they're protestors

Before I got to the end and saw you mentioned it my first thought was not every group can be a Euro soccer crowd.

I really wish American football was more like that.
So much opportunity with the SEC rivalries

... Saw this earlier and your thread sparked a thought which has continued to bounce around in my mind. Might as well get it out:
A lovely use of language and right use of words speak to proportion and harmony. They point towards beauty and creation-- attributes of the Good.
What isn't good... evil if we have to label it for now... can mimic beauty and proportion superficially, operating as a spirit of temptation (a "false light" if you will). Even then, there will be something lacking and inferior beneath the surface. It can approximate beauty, but perhaps not truly achieve it as its heart is not true.
These type of protestors operate from a place where evil removes its mask. There is no pretension of beauty attempting to attract people to the dark side or even confuse them. They're united only by their participation in a spirit of destruction. It's fascinating in an abhorrent way, but that's what I see in most of these modern leftist protestors. The 60s were before my time, but there was at least a naive appeal to "peace, love, and harmony" for some of them. I don't see that now. There is no noble message or higher principle coming through-- only hate and a mindless desire to destroy based on whatever messaging their NPC minds receive. They're ugly inside and out, and their vulgar, ugly language and shrill screams (commemorated in more than one meme) match the rest of them.
It would be surprising to hear anything as pleasant as a rhyme, or as playfully spirited as a soccer chant out of them.

There is beauty in order. Even chaotic order. Battle poetry is one of my absolute favorite things.
Like this one.
Poetry (and well written prose) is order personified. The cadence, the beats, the wordplay, meter and rhyme.
But cacophonythat's fills the streets? So much base vulgarity, dissynchronous glop that is offensive to the ears. Because it is disorder, and it is not in harmony with what should be.

You'll notice they so often just have one or two go to phrases they shriek. Over and over, louder and louder. Because they are, quite literally, NPCs.
They are fleshy automatons that have been wound up and given their marching orders. To borrow a phrase
"Ours it not to question why, just to shriek, destroy and cry."
Because their worldview is built upon the flimsiest premises that fall apart under the slightest scrutiny, so they have no choice but to scream and parrot. To think critically would have them scattering like roaches when the lights come on

Ah, but these are things of the light, or at least the lighthearted.
I guarantee you, the most Donnybrook ready hooligan has less true hate in his heart for his most bitter rival than a lot of these bleating, bloated blackguards have for their fellow man who has done them NOTHING.

That's a damn fine poem. Don't think I've seen it before. Not sure you picked it in particular because of my own playfully alliterative turn of phrase you quoted ("lovely use of language"), but I thoroughly enjoyed the rich use of alliteration throughout. Helped give it a nice, muscular rhythm.
I've seen it said that poetry precedes written language. Makes sense in a way as rhythm and rhyme make language more memorable... important in societies with oral traditions. But even if it isn't as necessary as it once was, it just makes reading things more pleasant. I lack your skill at constructing verses (I'm still impressed with how quickly you made that Jaxson Dart ditty after the Ole Miss game) but still like to play with words and phrases in my posts when I can.
And I agree with your sentiments. A drunken scouser from Liverpool mocking the other team with his mates-- is vastly more musical and infused with local pride and brotherly love than some of the protestors of recent years.

A better question is "When have protestors and their stupid fricking chants, ever changed anyone's mind?

Written by the Swamp Angel, a WW1 soldier. And grandfather of the poster Swamp Angel on here.
I actually took the Character of Black Wolf and gave him a back story to the same cadence.
Black Wolf, Shawnee Brave
I really like the structure. It works and flows. Staccato, like bursts of machine gun fire.
I have a LOT of respect for the old Swamp Angel, wish I had more of his work
