You have to admire the right's dedication to public toilet infrastructure.

I'm obviously against tomb profanation, but for reference, when people vandalised a Jewish cemetery, he stoked antisemitism and publicly supported the act. Pointing fingers at communists instead of his own followers which were, in the end, the perpetrators.

So, yeah, fuck that guy, and fuck respecting him and his cold bloated dead body.

Probably gonna take a lot of heat for this one, but I don't think people should be damaging public toilets like this

French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau called the damage "an absolute abjection".

Yes, yes, we should be more respectful of the people whose core value is having no respect for anyone but themselves. People who will vandalise Jewish war cemeteries and spray paint the gravestones with swastikas, for example.

If his wikipedia page is anything to go by then this reaction is not surprising

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Weeks? What took em so long lmao

[–] takeda@lemm.ee 37 points 1 day ago

After reading the article, there initially was a security around the grave, it eventually was relaxed which allowed someone to do this. After this incident they restored it.

[–] Taewyth@jlai.lu 15 points 1 day ago

They were too busy punching the Nazis that visited it beforehand.

Love to see it.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 24 points 1 day ago

Absolutely despicable that it took this long

My eyes are dry.

The tomb was vandalised, but like how so? Did they just like smash the grave stone? Did they smash like the door of the tomb if it's more like a mausoleum? I'd like details please. Whatever it was keep up the good work!

[–] Uruanna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The article has the Twitter post that showed the picture.

[–] Microplasticbrain@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

I don't understand why people make comments like this instead of just describing the picture or what happened.

I went to the article didn't see any picture, and im sure as fuck not going to twatter.

Thanks for letting us know there's a picture somewhere I guess.
