Has anyone defaced their shitty memorial posters yet? Is the idiot in a grave yet, and if so, where is it? I have a full bladder.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So Politico, you are going to completely glanced of the fact that a fascist gang started the fight that resulted in this death? Par for the course.
The events leading up to the fight that cost Deranque his life remain unclear
No, Politico, the video evidence is pretty clear.
I don't see how this could even be in question. The sequence of events in the video is absolutely plain as day. Nazis picked a fight and got their heads kicked in for it, case fucking closed.
He's never gonna be their Charlie Kirk, as if that would even be something to aspire to.
Thanks for the short summary. So pretty much exactly what I imagined happened after hearing a far right person got "attacked by the left and killed". But it's always interesting to then see which media you can trust and who tries to push an agenda.
Can you share a link to the video, or an article that explains what happened?
I won't link directly to the video, because it does show an extremely violent brawl (and a man's final conscious moments; to be clear, I'm not celebrating his death and never would). But the Wikipedia article on it links to news sites and analysis, and several of those have the video.
to be clear, I’m not celebrating his death and never would
It's not celebration to observe that, if you attack other people, it might not turn out the way you expect it will, and any adverse consequences resulting from someone defending themselves are the responsibility of the aggressor.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Do we have a ink to this video?
Especially as it's probably newsworthy that they weren't murdered by an even more far right person because they weren't far right enough.
Far right picks a fight, gets killed, shocked pikachu face
Blames it on nonexistent "far left" in an attempt to push the general Overton window to the right even more
Look up Horst Wessel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_Wessel
The tl, dr is that Horst was a sleazy character who joined the Nazis because he liked being a bully. After a beef with his landlady he got killed by some locals she'd brought to protect herself.
After his death, Horst became a symbol of the Nazi Party and the song commemorating his death became a standard at Nazi events and marches.
Ugh, the US going to the "we are Charlie Kirk" song, aren't they.
My favorite Kirk quote is when he blithely said that school shootings were the price America had to pay for freedom. I am glad that he got a chance to die for something he believed in.
Even if it wasn't for something he believed in, that's fine too.
I think the majority of the world would agree that the best fascist is a decomposing one.
One that's weeping as he bleeds out is a close second.
Meloni is very nervous in Italy, they could see the return of the Red Brigades, famous for kidnapping billionaires and shooting them in the kneecaps. Big comeback in Italy.
In 1978 they kidnapped the Italian PM, Aldo Moro, put him on trial and killed him. This greatly affected how the blackshirts in Italy treated social programs afterward.
Note that Aldo Moro was famously corrupt and enjoyed impunity from the formal legal system.
Why not try to use a martyr with some charisma. I mean I know we do not get to pick, but....oh right. I forgot, the problem here is the cause they stand for is deplorable so that probably reduces the amount of attractive candidates for martyrdom.
The best thing that could happen is that they all performed acts of self-martyrdom.
Why won’t people with empathy tolerate our literal Nazi beliefs?!
And of course the mainstream parties are using it to suppress the left and make them look violent.
That said, France unbowed is doing a shit job that they aren't the popular reform option, they need new leadership, it shouldn't be a contest, they should be winning against the far right fake populists misdirecting anger towards scapegoats, not running behind them.
But the Macron's and their ilk will relish this, and we can tell, calling them "far left" we can see their qualities. They will throw the country into the arms of fascists that will fix elections with the help of the US, unless France Unbowed gets it's shit together, and runs some economic populism and runs the table. There is no excuse for them not to either. If they can't do it they need a different party to, and now.
Anyone have a link to the full video of the fight? All I am finding are the clips of the kickbto the head when he is on the ground.
Fais le con et tu vas voir!
~~"Act like an idiot and you'll see"~~ "fuck around and find out?"
Nothing's stopping them from throwing ol' Quentin a pro wrestling style funeral.
