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.

    “They want people like me to not exist” is not a “general stance.”

    No, that is not a general statement. “Someone that wants some group of people to not exist” is the general statement, and I belong to some group of people. Anything that applies to the general statement also applies to the specific one. I’m not about to list all groups of people in existence, but if you want to play the game where you name someone and I tell you whether or not the rule applies, I’m happy to play along.

    Do you mean lemmyers? People with usernames that start with H?

    Yes to all of the above, as long as they don’t infringe on anyone else’s right to live.

    Don’t pretend that because you’re trying to conflate this with math that you’re somehow correct or logical.

    Logic is math. Do you disagree with the comparison?
