Is this another peaceful church burning ?

[u/aukstais → u/rexracerxer]

Townhall this time. So, actual government building. The fact that France holds most debt to GDP from all the EU countries makes these protests even worse for them.

[u/Excellent_Mud6222 → u/aukstais]

It's also a historical building made around 150 years ago with many cultural pieces inside it.

[u/BipolarMadness → u/aukstais]

If after an attack against a government building is not answered by deploying the military then I now 100% give up on France saving itself at all.

You could have given the excuse of the military not being deployed because the ones at the top are not affected so they dont give a fuck what happens to their own civilians. Now that their own structures of power are being attack, you would belief they would give a shit.

[u/CousinEddysMotorHome → u/rexracerxer]

Fiery, but mostly peaceful.

[u/Tactical_Ferrets → u/CousinEddysMotorHome]

Its cold outside, they just trying to stay warm.

[u/Tactical_Ferrets → u/rexracerxer]

No no, its a peaceful protest for the unjust treatment of Palestine gays. Obviously its the churches fault.

[u/J1mj0hns0n → u/rexracerxer]

yes its peacefully immolating under the october winds, the burns crack and crepitates under the strain of peace and purity, the roof tiles fall like smoke listing out a stationary thurible, the art and stained glass forms gossamer as the soot fills in the gaps, the peacefulness of it, the windows cannot sustain integrity, and slough down the side of the church, chittering against the stone as it falls, dink, kink, a brief pause of silence, shattered into dust on the stone floor, as 143 years of history whisper away, the cinders squeak and crackle as the blaze slows to a susurrus, as the charcoal smoulders gently in the the autumns irreverent breeze. peaceful.

That town hall survived two world wars and German occupation, but not "diversity".

[u/TheStigianKing → u/Ok-Appointment-9802]

Hope the French will finally realize who the real baddies are.

[u/Medical-Nebula-385 → u/TheStigianKing]

Yea being invaded, accepting it with open arms and calling it diversity and inclusion ain't working as expected is it? cough cough soon Spain cough

[u/AYCA0001 → u/Medical-Nebula-385]

Poor game store owner also became a victim. :(

https://x.com/lbleublancrouge/status/2111560577659371836/video/1

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/AYCA0001]

I saw a video of another store being looted and burned downed as the store owner pleaded with them not to do it.

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/Medical-Nebula-385]

They needed those engineers and doctors though pretty badly.

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/Medical-Nebula-385]

Reminds of that spaniard girl who let some foreign dude that she met let live in her house and then the dude turned it around on her kicked out of her own house and she was cool with it.

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/TheStigianKing]

It was the JEWS!. I'm joking absolutely.

[u/Amokmorg → u/TheStigianKing]

soros and his wef buddies, but let's blame 78 iq african. gj

[u/CryostaticLT → u/TheStigianKing]

Yeah. Russians with le pen.

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/Ok-Appointment-9802]

Trump will be blamed for this somehow.

[u/Astatine8585 → u/WorstFkGamer]

He closed the border so future doctors go to Europe instead

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/Astatine8585]

Smart move.

[u/ILDIBER → u/WorstFkGamer]

Larger protests around France occured largely due to rising costs of living. To be clear, the people who did this should be criminally charged. But the protests were largely due to oil prices rising dramatically as of late.

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/ILDIBER]

Didn't it start because of poor school conditions and no ac?

[u/ILDIBER → u/WorstFkGamer]

France and many others have been struggling with servicing their debt, as the cost to borrow increased recently. This basically forces France to reduce services. And people there are absolutely pissed.

Such dramatic oil price increases causes all sorts of ramifications, but I'll admit it's only a part of it, like all problems.

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/ILDIBER]

That sucks. I one day wanted to see France and all their art, food, buildings, churches, and amazing statues they got out there but it's being destroyed by the people who live there. That macron guy ain't doing nothing but writing tweets right now and letting his country burn. The people on top who let this happened should face charges for this.

[u/ILDIBER → u/WorstFkGamer]

France only has two choices. One is to cut spending, or keep funding the services. One will solve the debt problem, but be politically untenable. Other leads to bankruptcy, which is possible. Many believe the EU will bail France out, but it won't solve the long term issues. Macron is frankly in an unenviable position.

Could he send out more police? I mean sure. But it solves the symptom, not the core issue. And at the end of the day, bad actors were only able to do this because of the unrest in France. While the main blame is on those who torched the building, the national protests happening in France is part of a much bigger issue which most people don't care about. Nor do they seem to care or hold Trump accountable for his actions which had negatively effected practically every economy in the world.

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/ILDIBER]

Damn give me a sec to process this. If I knew I would be having a intelligent conversation right now I wouldn't be drinking at this moment.

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/ILDIBER]

The question is will they send out the military for this because the cops are losing the fight right now and how much is France willing to give up before it's all burned down and looted?

[u/ILDIBER → u/WorstFkGamer]

I mean, they'll do whatever necessary I assume. You'll stop the looters and the arsonists I'm sure. I hope they control the chaos. I'm all for it. But until you remove the unrest bad actors can utilize, this is going to keep happening.

[u/WorstFkGamer → u/ILDIBER]

I agree. Now real question is how much of this chaos has put France in a deeper hole?

[u/septictank84]

We're the baddies for thinking this is wrong. What a time to be alive 🙄

[u/ftez → u/septictank84]

Yeah the discourse around this is basically "french people riot, get over it", and that you're a fascist if you have any criticism over this.

[u/umbrawolfx → u/ftez]

I've seen very few native French in the videos. Mostly people with really curly short hair.

[u/ftez → u/umbrawolfx]

Engineers

[u/KittehKittehKat → u/septictank84]

Most of Reddit is still gleefully supporting this as a “protest”.

[u/Competitive_Soil_246]

You deserve what you tolerate.

[u/_D80Buckeye → u/Competitive_Soil_246]

and what you vote for

[u/200DivsAnHour → u/_D80Buckeye]

Okay, at this point people gotta be trolling. Nobody in Europe voted for this. We literally had the choice between politicians who promised more migrants and politicians who promised more open borders. Then after that it was a choice between politicians who lied about less migration and politicians who lied about closed borders.

Germany's head honcho literally has an approval rating of 13%, you really think anyone voted for that?

[u/Amokmorg → u/200DivsAnHour]

lmao. most of the eussr gladly voting for commie-globalist-green garbage.

who cares that braindead blackrock puppet has 13% rating if germany still for for the same crap just in different GREEN colours?

[u/Viciuniversum → u/200DivsAnHour]

You voted for this with your passivity.

[u/Different_Rub_988]

The bell tower of Limoges town hall has collapsed. The 143-year-old historic building was attacked and set ablaze during intense unrest and clashes that erupted on the sidelines of cost-of-living and student protests in France.

[u/Capn_Chryssalid → u/Different_Rub_988]

Enriching. This is probably good for GDP when it gets rebuilt as a mosque.

[u/Tricky-Wishbone-1162]

The left is pro this

[u/Crypto_Force_X]

Kinda makes me wonder if Europe has insurance.

[u/emerging-tub → u/Crypto_Force_X]

They sure do, it's called America

[u/Every-Development398]

This will likely result over time in people swinging hard right.

[u/c_alvy07]

The tolerant left embracing mostly peaceful protests 🤗

[u/Jameswoody37]

Toleration is a sin.

[u/EH042 → u/Jameswoody37]

The rewards for tolerance are treachery and betrayal

[u/moonye_man]

And they did it with palestine flag in hands 🙌🏼

[u/BennyBoombox]

So how is that diversity initiative going?

[u/negativ32]

If there ever was a need to deploy the army...

[u/Alternative_Bat7403 → u/negativ32]

The French have an army?

[u/negativ32 → u/Alternative_Bat7403]

You'd think not.

[u/Leather_Fall_1602 → u/Alternative_Bat7403]

You are joking right?

[u/Genocider2019]

Is this the start of Diversity War 1? You can't even say its war because the opposing side isn't even fighting back because they're being held by their own side's law.

[u/friedrice_rob]

Sad to see historical sites get wrecked ;(

[u/luvurneighbor → u/friedrice_rob]

THOSE PEOPLE cheer.

[u/Annie_Cohen]

Macron recognized a Palestinian state.
He wasn't aware that Paris would become its capital.

[u/RedditKindaSuccs]

"Mostly peaceful protest"

[u/Midnight7_7]

Soon in a city near you

[u/NeoNova9]

No one there can agree what the problems are. Not even the fire has been pinned down as a negative.

[u/mammalenthusiast]

who could've done such a thing..
IF ONLY WE'D KNOW WHO

[u/HanikGraf007]

French is usually a global litmus test. Will be interesting to see what follows.

Reddit. The front page of the This post is locked. You won't be able to comment.

My first thought was, "It's weird that people aren't fighting back," but then I remembered, "OH, right - people in the West never fight back."

[u/Internal-Progress-29]

Macron won't do shit. Maybe if they go after notre dame then they might stop them...might

[u/bltbiscuit]

I swear they better get this under control my family is thinking about going to France. If we lose the louve or the eiffel tower or some shit my family might go to Disney. I dont want to go to Disney yall.

[u/Legal_Unit_7687]

Is that Wayne Manor?

[u/Awkwardly_Hopeful]

You see? Nobody was hurt in the process of burning down a historical structure

[u/Wulfgar_RIP]

Poland has most churches is Europe

Poland has 1,700 wooden churches

Poland has no churches fires

Ethnic homogeneity is strength
