Have any assemblies had a minute’s silence for him? (The Russian Duma perhaps, or the Hungarian parliament?)

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And of course it came from a right wing extremist. Doing everything to cause that tasty, tasty outrage. Dick.
He was a glorified internet troll who just happened to have the backing of some very wealthy right wing fuckheads. He wasn't a politician. He was never elected by anyone to anything. He was a paid propagandist, and not even a smart one. The right wingers are about to ghoulishly try to profit off his death for the foreseeable future like this though.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to organize a minute of farting?
Just arrange a tactical order of Taco Bell.
We don't care. We also would not hold a moment of silence if Joe Rogan was shot.
He was some right-wing idiot influencer, what do you expect?
Should we have a minute of silence if some Putin propagandist in Russia dies? Wtf why is this a topic at all?
What's with the Trump fd little girls on Epstein island, can we get back to that?
Fucking disgusting.
Bunch of fascists and fascist bootlickers
Oh man is the EU going to be shocked when Republicans impose more tariffs on the EU over this egregious oversight.
Also, don't forget this:
Don't let them bury the truth about Charlie sacrifice.
We are a Circus. I don't care, if you like it or not.

Momentum for a hardcore hateful fascist?
That's embarrassing
~~what the actual fuck?~~ I read declined as "decided" phew...
I never suspected that Charlie Kirk was deemed more important or valuable than all of those schoolchildren (past, present and future) that were killed by gun violence. I expect Solomon Grundy to cause some shit later today in this bizarro world.
The proper reason for moments of silence are as described by our late George Carling who called for one such moment for the senior citizens who all stood up on a rollercoaster on a turn and thus went flying off of it. But as he put it, why a moment of silence? How about a moment of screaming in panic? HAaaaaa! NOOOOOO! DON'T STAND UP!!!! NOOOOOO! THEY DID!!!!! NOOOO! SPLATT!
Later he does explain that the senior citizens were retarded. But don't take my word for it. Google it, its hilarious!
Do they also hold a minute of silence ever time a single refugee is killed by their border violence or when thousands die due to European imperialism?
