French President Emmanuel Macron on Saturday, February 14, urged calm and restraint after the fatal beating of a 23-year-old French youth aligned with the far-right on the sidelines of a conference by a hard-left lawmaker in the southeastern city of Lyon.
The death of the young man – identified only as Quentin – has intensified tensions between France’s far-right and radical left who are both eyeing 2027 presidential elections.
He had been hospitalized in Lyon on Thursday after being attacked while providing what his supporters said was security for a protest against an appearance by hard-left MEP Rima Hassan at the Lyon branch of the Sciences Po university.
Specifically those who disagree with my right to live. If you disagree on any other front, there’s no reason for violence.
How are they disagreeing with your right to live?
Why do you think this is what they believe?
The more specifics you can use, the better.
Ex: Instead of saying “Literally by holding the opinion that people like myself shouldn’t exist,” can you tell me what that opinion actually is? I’m not even sure what you mean by “people like yourself.”
I don’t know how much clearer that can be. Their opinion is that I shouldn’t exist. Or that I should die. Or that we should move towards a world where people like me don’t exist.
I don’t see what my identity has to do with this. Whether I’m a cis-het white male or bipoc gay trans, those opinions are equally problematic.
Right here. This is where you can make it clearer. What is making you think that is their opinion? And just to clarify, by ‘exist’ do you mean they want you dead, or just out of sight?
Have you not noticed the people getting shot in the fucking street?
Yes? People get shot and killed all the time for all sorts of different reasons.
What are you trying to argue? You can be direct about it instead of trying to play leapfrog with yourself.
Congrats, you play stupid real fucking stupid, stupid.
Fuck off, I see what you’re doing. I’m done interacting with this high school debate idiocy.
Ok, just making sure you couldn’t directly articulate why you think they want “people like you” to die.
