Where do you propose the French national goes that is not in France?

u/Top_Crow931 4h ago

I've done more for France than you have and I was born in the United States.

u/Upset_Election9633 4h ago

Why should I care? You aren't happy here, go back to live in America then. Go find a white gated community to live happily with...

u/Top_Crow931 4h ago

Whos not happy here? I love France, can't say the same for you traitors who allowed the streets to crawl with middle eastern "asylum seekers" running from countries who have no war and THEN you break our economy by giving them all government money ad nauseam. Don't worry though, don't be surprised when Le Pen wins the election because of you.

Je suis français et je peux te dire que tu ne comprends rien au fait qu'en ce moment les médias de droite mettent le blame sur les immigrants pour discréditer les manifs. Je tiens aussi à te dire, parce que t'es américain, que ton président peut aller se faire foutre, qu'il est responsable pour la montée du prix du Diesel, et que les Américains sont un peuple mou qui ne se lèvera jamais face à son gouvernement parce que vous êtes des lâches. C'est incroyable d'être aussi con pour mettre le blâme sur l'immigration quand c'Est ton propre président qui a fait doubler les prix du pétrole dans les derniers mois. Je suppose que toutes les manières sont bonnes pour se mettre la tête dans le sable. Bref, un vrai connard.

You're expecting an american to understand France's history of protest and solidarity... Look at their absolute complacency in the face of their current administration. America has lost any backbone it once perhaps had. Americans cannot give anyone lessons right now.

Your initial post demonstrates a complete inability to think critically. Your misrepresentation of student protesters as non-white persons (presumably immigrants) says that you are unable to distinguish between individuals within a group and the whole group. It is very worrying that a member of our armed forces is unable to think critically about these issues because you may be asked to intervene there. This is why I'm antagonistic toward you.

No cause it’s irrelevant, today’s protests aren’t student protests, they’re country wide protests protesting the cost of living and everything else. So Yh many protesters are going to be adults not students.

It's crazy that these people's cope for these protests happening is that it's only non-white people stirring shit up. Do all these dumbfucks not realize there are thousands of reasons to protest around the world right now? Costs of living going through the roof, unjustified wars from superpowers making inflation even higher, the billionaire class is just raking in money while people are struggling to keep their jobs which are being outsourced to ai, these same billionaires are entangled in PDF file rings but are using anything possible to cover it up, national debts rising, surveillance is on the rise (Flock camera bullshit), scams are rampant and the president of the u.s. launched a crypto scam at his inauguration, war rages on across the globe for years without any semblance of solutions or resolutions by leading powers (every superpower still siding with Israel), the climate crisis accelerating with heatwave after heatwave, wild fires every summer, quality of air dropping and, again, no intentions by leaders to do anything about it. But, of course, the solution as it always is is to scapegoat immigrants. This is what always happens; it happened in the 1930s, the 1970s, 1980s, it happened during the 2008 financial crisis, during covid. It's the default mode when you are a complete dumbfuck.

I'll edit to say: if you think these protests are violent, you haven't seen anything yet. There's a reason billionaires are building bunkers and selling shares of their companies. When you push people to their limits they eventually break. Right now the distraction of blaming it on immigrants is working, but you can only play that card for a certain time.

Faux. La plupart des mouvements de contestation social se sont joint aux manifs à travers la france. Ce que ce vidéo montre et ce que les médias montrent sont les casseurs, mais la plupart des manifs du 17 étaient pacifiques et se sont fait défoncer par la police. Tu es mal informé et probablement peu éduqué alors tu as de la misère à évaluer les faits au dela d'une vidéo de 1 minute. Je te souhaite bonne chance dans la vie, tu en auras besoin!

u/Leboot33 3h ago

La plupart des mouvement... c'est quoi leur revendication, la aujourd'hui. Ya rien c'est un leurre pour détruire le pays de l'intérieur et juste des personnes qui profitent et rêve de voir le pays s'effondrer. Après il retourneron dans leur pays d'origine ou de leur parent. Pas besoin de me sortir tes grandes phrases de woke et de paix dans le monde.

u/SilentExtinction 3h ago

Y'a plusieurs articles sur le sujet, les manifs on étées en majorité pacifiques et les revendications sont assez claires:

  • augmenter les salaires, les pensions et les minima sociaux
  • rétablir l'ISF et mettre en place la taxe Zucman sur les hauts patrimoines 
  • lutter contre la fraude et l'évasion fiscales 
  • mettre a contribution les profiteurs de crise
  • répondre urgemment aux revendications de la jeunesse

Tu peux t'informer toi même aussi, c'est ça vivre en démocratie. Voici un exemple d'un article court: https://www.cgt.fr/comm-de-presse/pres-de-800-000-manifestantes-et-manifestants-partout-en-france-pour-la-justice-sociale-le

Je t'ai aucunement répété des arguments wokes, c'est toi qui voit du woke partout parce que tu as de la misère à te former ton propre opinion sur le monde. Je te recommande sincèrement de faire un effort, ça te servira tout au long de ta vie.

Aahah, tu vois une liste à point et tu pense chat GPT, c'est tout simplement un copier collé de l'article. Mais bon, je m'attendais pas à grand chose de ta part honnêtement. Et encore, je réitère, il faut rester à l'école!

Now what's causing the cost of living increase? Be specific.

u/Valerian_ 4h ago

In the video you see a few hardcore rioters/looters that have little to do with the original protesting, because they are what's left after the police violently repressed the mostly peacefully protesting massive crowd that was there in the beginning.

Obviously some media will only show the looting and the police being attacked, instead of what really mattered that happened before.

And also the protest is not anymore about schools, every major movements joined them in a general protest over many things.

u/3ls3where 2h ago

Do you know the full situation? It was a peaceful protest until the heavy handed police stepped in with tear gas, water cannons, and batons. This IS unfortunately how you get shit done, just look at their history with protests. When's the last time America got anything done eith one of their 'peaceful protests'? (Im Canadian so no skin in the game here)

u/-MeTeC- 23m ago

Wtf is this propaganda ? Police will not attack a peaceful manifestation without any reasons, you should look closely at live footages from random youtubers who film everything, everytime the police is stepping in is because of the opposite camp starting to insult and throw dangerous things at them.
