Pavlos Fyssas was a Greek anti-fascist rapper who was killed by members of the fascist group Golden Dawn on this day in 2013.
Fyssas, also known as "Killah P" ("Killer of the Past"), came from a working class family. He and his father were both members of the Piraeus metal union. Pavlos had been active hip hop since 1997 and is well-known for his left-wing, anti-fascist lyrics.
On September 18th, 2013, Fyssas was fatally stabbed by Giorgios Roupakias, a member and employee of the neo-fascist party Golden Dawn. Following his death, there were a series of protests and rallies against Golden Dawn throughout Europe.
During one protest in Athens, attended by 2,500-10,000 people, anti-fascists began marching towards Golden Dawn's central offices and were arrested and beaten by police. On November 1st, 2013, a shooting took place at the Golden Dawn's Neo Irakleio offices in Athens, killing two members.
In October 2020, sixty-eight members of Golden Dawn were declared part of a criminal organization, and fifteen were convicted in charges relating to Pavlos' murder.
When asked about Pavlos' character by Al Jazeera, his mother stated "You're asking a mother about what kind of a person her son was. He was a free man."
"The world has become a big prison
and I'm looking for a way to break the chains
...
Let them come and find me at the mountain top, I'm waiting for them and I will not bother with fear."

Unity backpedals as expected
still though, devs wont trust them after this.
Is it even a conspiracy theory to say this was all planned. Guy sells his stocks, intentionally makes a bad decision to tank the company, they probably planned all along to walk it back, and now... profit? I don't know why they'd do it, but the selling stocks makes me think it was all planned out.
I will definitely never use Unity again, even though I'm not a real game dev and just want to write my own small games some day.
They're still going for it, barely even a backpedal.
So video games as an industry are entertainment products that includes, in a generous characterization, firms that are making a living by making cool shit. That's why the CEO really fucking over a bunch of people in the industry is so gross and bad.
However, what if a seeseepee agent managed to infiltrate an oil company, become CEO, shorted the stock on a billion % leverage, and made a dogshit call? That sounds kind of based. The industry is morally bankrupt and choking the planet to death. Who knows how much damage has been done to the cause of renewables because of their big business interests. The probably killed JFK if it wasn't the warmongers for Cuba. Wrecking an oil company would be even more based if they made the follow up play of using that money to advance leftist organizations.
never, they'll try and circle back to implement these ideas
