The burned out cars from yellow vests protesting in France. I think it rather like winning a championship for the first time in years and burning your own city to the ground, but that's me.

What happened to just burning the mattress?

Thanks for the explanation. That was a whole lot of damage.

I thought I'd read that they were a bunch of socialists, riotinging for more socialist benefits, and yet they're being portrayed as wanting the socialists out... I'm confused.

He's pushing the green BS. Took diesel to $7 a gallon. It's what I remember starting it over a year ago.

I believe you missed his point. He's making fun of half of Paris burning for over the last year while preaching about climate change.

Still has nothing to do with each other. They are called the Paris Accords because that is where they were signed/finalized. Not because they are the only one who cares.

I would guess the ones rioting/protesting are probably not against the Accords.

And part of the fear the left has is more unrest, like in Paris, due to changes from the environment.

And this is coming from someone almost wholly against the Accords.

They want a different brand. They want a more nationalized version of socialism. Not that that version of socialism has never failed terribly either.

That was my thought as well. The yellow vests rioted because petrol was too expensive. Doesn't sound like conservatives trying to run the liberals out of their country (or nationalists/patriots trying to run a globalist out, to be more specific), which is a huge narrative wrapped around this.

Putin isn’t the one being a hypocrite! Tweeting he cares about the Iranian people because he wants regime change....ignoring the French people who want regime change!!

Wtf does Putin have to do with that?

Protesters in France will be there for the long haul, however long that may be. Nobody holds on to a grudge like a Frenchie. I’m pretty certain it’s part genetic blueprint and part cultural heritage.

Are the French known to fund global terrorism? I must have missed that.

What does that have to do with it?

When the people protest their leader/government in oil rich countries we aren’t allied with, our government shouts oppression and support for the people..

When the people protest their leader/government in countries we are allied with..........crickets...

Because the French asked for this brand of government and are in part responsible for the fallout.

Iran situation is a little different. Comparing apples and oranges here.
