French person here : they’re making it look like civil war.
It is not.
It’s protests, and it should be a revolution. The gov is just treating it like the Yellow Jackets in 2018, putting the emphasis on isolated incidents to justify the use of force and intimidation on young people who fear for their future.
They claim they’ll listen to the student’s representatives and open a platform for students to express their doleances, but it’s all façade, as it was for the Yellow Jackets and the Citizen Climate Convention.
Macron and his goons are the most hypocritical, cynical, lying cunts that have ever been in power in this country, and it’s been going on for almost 10 unbearable years of silent complicity with the far right and poaching poor people’s lifeblood to line the pocket of the upper class with more money than they could ever need in a 100 lives.
Can’t wait for Mélenchon to chase those cunts out of power.
Mélenchon’s party “La France Insoumise”, France’s equivalent of the DSA in the US, has expressed their support to the students protests and has called for its members to accompany and protect them, wearing white helmets or armbands. The collaborationnist establishment is, as usual, using the same old tropes we’re all getting tired of to “condemn the violence” and make it look like Melenchon is responsible for it all. It’s been their go-to for so many years, it’s not even funny anymore, just pathetic.
He probably is, but an opinion article by Alexander Hurst the meme stock guy isn’t really the best example of this.
In fact, you might not even need to cite an example. Lots of people despise that guy but not the party policies. Very hard choices are coming during the next election and there is already so much misinformation.
