rot in hell you nazi fuck.
Nazi lives don't matter!
They really really don't... at all.
Since when did European media start using Trumps term ‘radical-left’ ?
There is no such thing, this is pure framing by the alt-right!
Trump calls everyone from AOC to Angela Merkel radical leftists.
I despise Trump's propaganda as much as anyone here, but LFI (the party of the mentioned lawmaker) call themselves "radical left".
We shouldn't let Trump turn this expression into an insult.
There is no such thing
There damn well IS a such thing, I'm a radical leftist anarchist specifically. But you're right in that regular liberals like AOC are not. "Radical" just means outside of mainstream political thought.
The term alt-right is problematic too. I think you meant neo-nazis or just nazis
He calls biden and kamala radical left, it's a meaningless term like anti semite, no accusation can be taken at face value.
Nazi lives don’t matter
Why is it called "far-right" and then "radical left"
One is normalized and one is not
Aka the "Tubular Left" aka the "Cowabunga Left" aka the "Gnarly Left"
also to claim that "the radical left is eyeing 2027 presidential elections" is pretty wild. no radical leftists will be winning any election, sadly.
We're experiencing a wave of racist attacks and murders and the only thing they talk about is the attack where a fascist was killed.
We don't even know exactly what happened yet, most of the noise is coming from Nemesis another fascist "feminist" group.
Coincidentally, our biggest leftist party was unilaterally labelled "far left" by our ministry of the interior a few days ago. (Le monde used hard left in the article, legally they are a generic leftist party)
Coincidentally also, mayoral elections are in about 4 weeks, with an uptick from said party.
Nothing to see here, France is definitely not sliding towards trumpism and fascism at a blinding speed.
From what I gather there was a group clash of 20+ people and the nazi dudes ran away leaving 1 behind who just got clobbered.
It was right extremists "counter protesting" and the dead guy seems like a professional agitator providing "security service" to right extremists.
Tl;dr: they fucked around and found out.
His supporters say he was providing “security” - we all know the far-right lie 100% of the time, so he probably started a fight and lost his life.
Providing security in the way that Hitler's people did in the early 30's.
By showing up in numbers, starting fights, and then claiming to be defending themselves. A tried-and-true Nazi propaganda tactic, and I'm glad the French aren't standing for it.
It's "security" to a "counter protest". We all know what that means. Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Fuck being calm. Rightwingers keep assaulting normies and our own, because they had suffered no consequences. We should change that, forever. It is easy to be conservative, when you don't pay for the wrongs you commit.
Unfortunately, optics are incredibly important to win public opinion. As a radical leftist myself, I have little to no compassion for the man who died ; nonetheless I hope this doesn't start a pattern.
Many people see these things as entirely vibes-based, so if we don't look like the good guys, to many people that's enough to decide we aren't the good guys.
I think the world needs less radical left and more militant left.
We've tried talking for the last 80 years or so. Its not working so well. So maybe we need to bring back the violence that defeated fascism last time.
If you're going to adopt violence, you have to target the exact right people or you just plunge yourself into a long, dumb spiral of public outrage until whatever the organization originally meant to accomplish is lost in the news cycle of violence. People won't remember what you represented, only what you did. And you can't fix that with messaging, it's just not how it works.
I can name a dozen different iconic seditious or rebellious groups in recent history and for every name read, you will see in your mind's eye terrorism and bombings and violence, not what that group wanted to accomplish or what their goals were.
I get gnashing teeth reminding people of this fact, but Mussolini was not defeated by a plucky band of rebels who dragged him out of his bunker, he was arrested by his own king and government and handed over the opposition. We still need political action or we're just embracing mindless chaos, we will need politics to both secure an actual victory and we will need politics to deal with the millions of people who didn't vote for any of your actions but will still live next to us after.
The man who died was a far right militant, member of a group who regularly descends in the street to beat everyone not looking like their idea of a French.
I don't think killing people is a solution. But if you think violence is sometimes justified against some people, this dude was as close as it gets.
We need less polarisation. The far left and far right are both wrong because the world is a complex place full of nuance.
Personally I consider myself left of centre, but I also find policies that are absolutely core to the left abhorrent. That means I have voted centre right in the past, or centre depending on the situation.
What is absolutely certain is this kid did not deserve to die and the people that did it should JUSTLY face the full force of the law.
Such a tragedy
Nazi lives don't matter.
"Chill out, everybody calm down. Its was just a nazi, the fucker got what was coming to him."
The French have a proud tradition to maintain.
Nothing of value was lost
"Hatred that kills has no place in our country" - Man trying to stop hateful people who want to kill from facing consequences of their actions.
Far right meaning Nazi in this case?
I won't cry any tears for dead Nazis.
You go Frenchies that is based.
So are they translating the Horst Wessel Song into French yet?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
