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."

It has come to my attention that almost all of my ironic edgy jokes have been about women the past few days. Rest assured I will be doing some gay stuff to balance it out soon.

The vibes feel very fucked right now.

It's raining and I'd rather be out in it.

Why didn't other lemmy instances just ask Hexbear to disengage?

Edit: Please disengage

Most of them don't even accurately perceive what we say. There is no way they'd read the rules.
