General Question Does anyone actually believe these protests in France are about 'education funding'?

I didn't know France had the Amazon self checkout technology.

u/lookbehindyou7 9h ago edited 9h ago

I regret to inform you the French have a pretty storied history of protest. Additionally the French insisted their territories were/are France.

No way. I bet you can’t give me one concrete example of the French people losing their shit and absolutely fucking up those who embodied power structures…

Must be nice being able to arbitrarily blame melanin for your problems instead of trying to fix anything. Sounds easy.

u/Pokrog 9h ago

You're the one suggesting that because someone is from a third world country that they must have dark skin, BUT I'M THE RACIST?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

u/Kasskinen 8h ago

People from the "third world" tend to have more melanin. Nothing wrong with SoftlockPuzzleBox said

u/SoftlockPuzzleBox 9h ago

Yes, you are.

u/UnderstandingFew6310 7h ago

no ones blaming melanin or some sort of concept of race. Its simply an incompatible culture.

2

u/SoftlockPuzzleBox 7h ago

Sure. Our culture is based around exploiting and murdering them, and they don't like it. I'd be incompatible with that too.

I love when people lose an argument, then pretend they didn't by hiding behind semantics. You knew what you saying. So did everyone else. Just take the L, kid.

u/MyhraBooboo 6h ago

You're the one making connections that no one else is. People were complaining about the increased rates of immigration back when it was mainly Eastern Europeans coming over. The level of melanin isn't a consideration for most of us, you just wish it was so that you don't have to think.

Except this has been said for years and if you stopped importing from problem countries 10 years ago that 140 year old building wouldnt have been burnt the other night.

The centuries of imperialism and exploitation combined with the ruthless crush of modern capitalism might have a few words about that.

2

u/DankuTwo 7h ago

Almost nowhere suffered European imperialism for “centuries”. You basically have India, and a handful of usually pretty small possessions.

People massively overestimate the size, duration, and impact of European imperialism.

u/SoftlockPuzzleBox 7h ago

We do it via corporations now. It never stopped.

u/Pokrog 7h ago

It's crazy how everything is white peoples fault when aside from basically Pacific Islanders, they're basically the smallest racial minority on earth lol. Somehow 10% of the world is oppressing the other 90% despite barely existing in most of these "oppressed" countries.

Japan got nuked twice and they don't need to make any excuses of how Europe or the US are oppressing them. They just got to fucking work and became a world superpower with no victim card being played whatsoever.

u/TheTwoAndOnly54 9h ago

Or its just immigrants from 3rd world shit hole countries acting howd youd expect people that let their country get to a third world shit hole would act?

3

u/SoftlockPuzzleBox 9h ago

Let? Do you know what Europe and America have done to those people? I mean, obviously you don't, but maybe at least attempt to not be so stupid in public? Silence is an option.

-2

u/Pokrog 8h ago

FOR. What Europe and America have done FOR those people. And even after insane amounts of intervention in an attempt to bring these third would countries to modern standards, every single time Europe and America stop helping, they regress right back to being a shithole in what seems to be an impossibly short amount of time... Because the only progress being made was BECAUSE of Europe and America and without them helping, these third world countries stagnate with zero progress whatsoever.

u/SoftlockPuzzleBox 8h ago

Any western intervention that has occurred doesn't even begin to make up for the centuries of exploitation, war, meddling, purposeful destabilization, and enslavement that caused those regions' modern reality.

u/TheTwoAndOnly54 7h ago

When did Africa and the middle east start their civil wars to stop oppressive slavery? Ohh i forgot that actually never happened because slavery is alive and well in those areas. How about how the western world basically had to blockade africa just to stop africans from continuing the slave trade? The billions and billions in aid given to those areas by western countries? They are shit holes in spite of how much modern countries have tried to help.

u/SoftlockPuzzleBox 7h ago

The aid is whitewashing propaganda and you are dumb enough to believe it. Western corporations are exploiting the rest of the world for every resource they have and western governments destroy any movement or government that arises to oppose them and install puppets that do everything they say.

Ah, the classic "but what about all these things that happened 100 years before any living person on earth today was born?". In 100 years you'd think if there was so much oppression that the lack of it would mean they get to thrive now, but no....still shitholes. Zero advancement without Europe and the US.

u/SoftlockPuzzleBox 7h ago

If you think that events that occurred in the past have no bearing on the present, you are legitimately fucking stupid.

Silence is violence!

u/SoftlockPuzzleBox 8h ago

Not when racists are shutting up.

u/gaeee983 8h ago

Lmfao at least the french know how to protest, whilst in the US you vote in a pedo president, difference between a population strong enough to resist and fight and an uneducated one.

2

u/Pokrog 7h ago

Find the French people in the "protest" video and you'll be finding the people that are screaming for these savages to STOP DESTROYING EVERYTHING. Calling these people "protesters" or "French" is a straight up lie.

u/gaeee983 5h ago

It started as a cost of living protest by students and now other groups have joined. I've seen figures that upwards of 800k people are currently participating

"Mass protests in France spiral into worst riots in years".

"The CGT union told Reuters ​it estimated protesters at 800,000 people."

https://www.reuters.com/world/students-trade-unions-yellow-vests-set-protest-across-france-2026-10-17/

"Young protester's hand severed amid violent protests in France over rising cost of living, officials say".

"Today's protests saw a convergence of groups, with the high school students joined by trade unionists, university students and members of the yellow vests."

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/livestory/france-protests-9.7385148.

"Protests erupt across France against rising living costs and in support of students"

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/protests-france-rising-living-costs-students/

Yeah but keep finding single videos with brown people so you have an excuse to be racist, man must be exhausting as fuck being so hateful, touch some grass.
