There was a good French movie a few years ago called ‘Apres Mai’ (I think the English title was ‘Something In the Air’), it capture just how insane these students really were. They worshipped Mao.
Now they’re elderly, balding stock brokers, reminiscing nostalgically about their ‘ideological’ uprising. Pathetic. Macron is their grandson, and now they’re rising up against him instead of DeGaul.
Testicular fortitude? Germany doesn’t do that anymore. The French actually out-cojone them. From one bad extreme to another.
Remember right about that same time, there was another uprising, led mostly by students, in Czechoslovakia (”Prague Spring”).
The French students actually supported the Soviets in their invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Occam's Razor
Thereby proving once again that France, in the final analysis, blows.
France has imported millions lazy, ignorant, violent Muzzies who have no intention of assimilating with nary a protest from the Frenchies. But if the price of gas goes up a franc or two the populace is ready to burn down the entire country. Boy do they deserve it.
You’re missing the point. This is an armed, violent right wing takeover. This is the death of the European Union happening before our eyes mates. This is the Berlin Wall all over again but we’ve been too blind to see. This is the French People who never get ON the news. Until now. But there are leaders behind it who are not revealing themselves yet. It’s very organized/
And its all coming to a little town near you....sooner than you think....we had better stock up
'ceptin they got no right to keepN bear so all they can do is lash out with little foot stomping temper tantrums
It is so easy for the propaganda machine to hijack a movements intent and motive and assign the globalist narrative.
for example , right wing protesters in america protesting taxes would be labeled" radical right wing white supremicist terrorists"
My thoughts exactly. They had their chance to elect Marine Le Pen and wasted it.
In addition to securing the French Presidency, Le Pen also aims to establish her National Front as a viable new political party and a vehicle for the views of its marginalized adherents. Yet, even with such political power in hand, Le Pen does not seem to intend a drain-the-swamp housecleaning or major institutional changes in France's system of government. I suggest that this reflects not so much any weakness in Le Pen but larger political circumstances that hinder the Right in Europe.
Notably, Le Pen, Salvini, and other West European political leaders on the Right lack the intellectual and organizational support such as supports and energizes American conservatives. Indeed, contemporary Europe offers little political space to conservatism. The Left dominated the anti-Nazi Resistance movements and then was cemented into power after WW II. They relentlessly smeared opposing ideas and personalities on the Right as tainted by fascism and Nazi ideology.
This well-established and highly effective line of attack is virtually a political reflex and is relied on to discredit the Right in Europe and hinder its political development. The continent's various anti-Leftist political movements thus struggle to articulate political principles that transcend their national experience and circumstances so as to provide a coherent vision and core ideas on the Right as a basis for mutual support and common political goals.
As for the current French riots, they manifest popular discontent but seem unlikely to result in a revolution of any sort, whether on the streets or at the ballot box. In time though, the growing Muslim population and the looming bankruptcy of the welfare state seem likely to result in a breakdown of the French state and a low-intensity civil war in France.
A generation or two from now, France may be more an expression of geography than a functioning, unified nation-state. The French populace may be divided into separate Muslim and Christian cantonments with limited common urban commercial zones. Or, the cruel logic of Islam may prompt the kind of genocide tinged population displacements common to the history of the Muslim world and thus result in a more or less unitary French nation.
Against the menace and harshness of such a future, just what does American style conservatism have to offer France? It may be that behind the scenes, Europe is preparing for an era in which the ideologies of the Enlightenment are mostly irrelevant.
The 30 percent pulling the wagon that carries the other 70 percent have now left the wagon, and they are now running free in the streets?
You may be on to something. Adding that Islamic spice, mohammed raping the daughter while having five brides on welfare, that may have been the spark that caused the donkey to kick.
Simply put, the 30 percent are claiming their freedom.
I told my 12 year old daughter that the riot is about freedom. You raise the gas tax, you lose freedom. The money you now spend on taxes you can not spend on food and clothing.
Macrons plan to lower the planets temperature by starving those who dare to work for a living seems to have hit a bump.
Is this another one of those arab spring deals?
Thank you for posing those. Animals.
Nah....it's just warped up into a conglomeration of things the French aren't happy about.....added to the mix the violent thuggery that love fires and destruction and foreigners that get excited when they can destroy a country.
They do come out of the woodwork when protests of any kind are happening.....save goes for here in the US.
