You think everyone should be reading speeches in unison? Chants have to be simplistic by their nature. Though "You can stick your poison virus up your arse" is catchy. The UK have a lot more experience with complex chants though due to soccer. Speaking of which, "You're going home in a fucking ambulance" might be a good one to adopt.

You don't have to chant anything, strong numbers in dead silence doing whatever they're doing is a lot stronger.

Respectfully disagree.

Nobody's scared of people saying things anyway, so the implication's that we're done talking. I remember seeing it a few years back during some of the Ukraine protests I think, or Belarus.

Chanting is an expression of aggression and a prelude to more permanent actions. If it wasn't effective, it wouldn't have been present through many cultures over many years. It's still present in the modern military but has also found form in militaristic music.

To be fair, it's a bit late in the game and we could have done with it outside of voting centers while observers were being obstructed from doing their job but some of these politicians could still do with having the wind put up them.
