Civil Unrest in France

[Velo Vol]

So ridiculous taxation without any disclosure of where that revenue would be spent towards isn't corrupt?

Are you talking about the fuel tax? Because that was suspended. And yet protestors are still protesting, for something or other.

Fuel tax was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Straw is removed but the damage is done.

Macron has Humpty Dumpty’d himself.

Hmmmm. I wonder why they could possibly be protesting.

Suspended for 6 months...

Not cancelled period!

Points out there's ~8,000 protestors. In a city of 2.2 million.

Macron has a 26% approval rating...

80% of French support the yellow vests...

What are you trying to prove?!

Maybe it’s their liberal dictator who obviously will look to screw them some other way.

Or they’re smart enough to know that suspended doesn’t mean canceled.
They know that their standard of living is going down and a burden is being placed on them that’s not likely to go away. The gab between the rich and poor is growing and nobody is offering any solutions

Mmm well no because if 7 alt right people show up for a protest the MSM is very convinced this country is run by white supremacists.

MSM at least PRETENDS to be convinced. I doubt in their cynical hearts but for sure they do their darndest to convince the unwashed... of that narrative.

Purchasing power is an issue that is about as basic as you can get.

What good does it do to make $100k if you can't afford transportation and living expenses?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

As I said, it's pretty murky what this is all about. I haven't heard much about "corruption."

Really? Are you serious right now?

Many of them are talking about the minimum wage and how the elitist president doesn't care about "the people."

I do find it rather funny with the “We want Trump” rants. They want a nationalist. They want somebody more worried about internal sovereign issues than external. But a nationalist in a socialist state like France is going to look very different than Trump in order to be successful I think.

I don’t blame Trump for pointing it out though. It’s a pretty hilarious and ironic twist.

 

[Velo Vol]

I can't read French. Is this entire thing translated somewhere?

Banning plastic bottles but they also "want Trump." Right

 

[Velo Vol]

OK, here's a list. I can't say how accurate it is for everyone on the streets.

Yes, very anti-liberal, conservative, pro-Trump. LOL

They want a nationalist. They’re tired of globalism. That’s all. Bernie should campaign there he’d win going away. Take AOC with him to boot.

Of course they’re liberal, they’re destroying the city.

Sounds like a lot of different people demanding a lot of different things.

That’s my thoughts also , it’s not a negotiation as much as a revolt . They all are shooting for the moon and asking for everything they can think of and want .

Buying time to get his military plan in place...

Possibly but probably just for his own protection. He has dug a hole he will never get out of.

Right up your alley Velo Vol...

'Whatever happens, Russia did it!’ Senator on ‘absurd’ Kiev claim FSB is behind France protests

So... Q is Russian FSB? Who knew!
