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."

every time someone complains about the longer taglines I add an even longer tagline
Hey Tomboy Shulk, these tag lines are getting kind long and that’s suuuuuper annoying to me.
Unemployment continues to blow.
On top of the general blow to self-worth, one of the worst parts is how it gaslights you into thinking a living wage is unreasonable. I’ve budgeted it out and think the least I can live off of in this area (where all my family, potential friends, and employment opportunities are) is just shy of 50k gross, maybe 45 if I found a roommate I’m comfortable with. That’s not even factoring in student loan payments. But despite making about that much at my previous job, nobody paying that much is giving me the time of day. And it makes me think, even after doing all the math, maybe I’m asking too much?
If I didn’t have family to worry about I’d probably just punch my own ticket ngl
I saw a server job with 300+ applicants
How the fuck do you even weave through that many people
Employment is so fucking broken
how is there not riots and unrest all over the country, or at least some kind of rebellion movement somewhere? we are so deeply subjugated, this fucking sucks. westerners will voluntarily walk into the gas chambers en masse because we are too docile, complacent and truly can’t even imagine anything besides capitalism.
If it’s any comfort I’m in a similar situation. I’ve applied for over 100 jobs over the past month and have only had two preliminary calls so far, both of which offered pay that was less than I was making over three years ago. Employers know they have the upper hand right now and it fucking blows
