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."

Yeah I love it. Jemele Hill recently suggested that the Jets should sign him and all the comments on social media were about what a shitty idea that is. Fuck out of here, I don’t want to watch Zach Wilson be awful for another season. But whatever. Honestly at this point I rather Colin not play so he can keep doing his thing off the field. I could see some chud player trying to take him out and it’d suck to see him develop CTE later in life.
Zach Wilson has to be a Godamn op
The fact that he’s Mormon makes it more likely. Did you know former QB Steve young is related to Brigham young? God, I hate Mormons and their US exceptionalist bullshit

When I was a kid I thought a cowgirl was a girl who rode a cow instead of a horse. I had a very literal and smol brain.
