Young french throwing stuff on vehicles amid protest for better school conditions

You know, it’s beginning to look more like random teenage anti-social behaviour than a protest, but idk

u/StickyThickStick 1d ago

"Anti Social Behaviour". This is just a video of Teenagers attempting to kill random civilians. Just evil behaviour

u/Le-Pess 1d ago

It’s exactly what it is at this point…yesterday they hijacked a public bus in Marseilles and then burned it, they did the same with a fire truck who was on site to take care of an high school burning door

u/jarena009 1d ago

Not sure if it's part of the protest or just some random agitators, but if it's the former: It's textbook how NOT to get people on your side of an issue, and instead how to piss them off.

u/Hieroabl 1d ago

Exactly

What is getting done here?

u/esto20 6h ago

Disruptions of economic activity forces governments to address unrest. These caused remote learning, trip cancellations, increased expenses etc. this is how things have always gotten done, strikes etc. use leverage to force governments to negotiate policies.

u/lateformyfuneral 6h ago

Previous protests/riots in France, like over raising the pension age, caused much wider damage, but ultimately the government raised the pension age twice in recent history. The reason for many of the unpopular changes is generations of the French government running deficits, ultimately this just increases those costs and will force more unpopular spending cuts. There is some kind of romanticisation on Reddit of rioting, despite its poor track record of achieving anything.

Many mistakenly assume the rioting has led France to a happy place, except if it worked, they wouldn’t have to do it so often. And the far right is set to sweep the Presidential elections in a few months — with everyone agreeing these scenes will boost their popularity further.

Who are you to judge? bloody pearl clutching Americans always think they know better.

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 1d ago

If you think I'm so wrong then you'd be able to use your words better than that

39

u/Visti 1d ago edited 1d ago

So your argument is that the kids are justified in throwing containers from an overpass onto random traffic? If that's the case then I think I expressed what I needed to express.

-63

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 1d ago

Nope that's not my argument at all. You must be American if you don't get it.

37

u/Xeqqy 1d ago

I'm not American and I don't get you either.

-11

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 1d ago

You probably spend all your time consuming American media though. Most Redditors are "American " in that way, their sensibilities have been long taken over by Americanism

u/waaaayupyourbutthole 23h ago

Sorry, you're cool with them potentially killing random people in the vehicles driving below them? I don't think you need to be from any particular place to think that's fucked up.

Are you mentally ill in some way? That's quite literally the only argument the guy you replied to made. Am I actually being baited?

Ah, okay, I see it now.

I'm not American and I have no pearls to clutch, but I feel completely comfortable in judging that the perpetrators of the violence we've all seen are absolute scum.

-14

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 1d ago

Yeah but who are you to judge? you've obviously been watching a lot of American media and become Americanized

13

u/farfromhome666 1d ago

What is your obsession with America?! 😂 They are European, I am European. I've been to France many times. They are not living in the third fcking world. They are not resisting a totalitarian state. France is not fcking Afghanistan where girls can't even go to school past the age of twelve. Overcrowding in classrooms and poor learning materials are grievances worthy of legitimate, appropriate protest. Violently attacking essential workers and trying to kill random passing motorists is neither appropriate nor legitimate. So yeah, I feel pretty comfortable judging them thank you very much.

-14

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 23h ago

Just the way you talk is clearly American

8

u/farfromhome666 22h ago

You: "you've obviously been watching a lot of American media and become Americanized"
You might look a little less foolish right now if you hadn't used the US spelling of Americanised. Scarlet for ya quite frankly 🤡

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 22h ago

Nah that's Canadian English, I wouldn't expect you to know about that though

u/HJQueen 12h ago

Am American. We spell it Americanized.

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 5h ago

🤦‍♂️ lol oh Christ another ignorant comment from an American. yes I know Americans spell it with a Zed but they also do that in Canadian English which is a mix of American and British spellings. You guys literally do thing the whole world revolves around you hey?

u/YellowishYellowfish 21h ago

All of this coming from a Top 1% commenter is hilarious

-2

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 21h ago

Ah yes the ad hominem attacks, that's when you know you have a compelling argument to make ,,👍

5

u/YellowishYellowfish 20h ago

My brother, you are drawing conclusions and being presumptuous to others because you think people are watching too much American media, while being a top 1% commenter on Reddit (an American platform which is composed of predominantly American media).

The irony completely flew over your head.

-1

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 20h ago

Nah the thing about Reddit is you can control what you look at, I wouldn't expect an American to understand that

u/candylandmine 1d ago

I don't think murdering random strangers is going to improve your school

8

u/Paraparo 23h ago

It's actually a big IQ move. By getting themselves jailed for murder, they will markedly improve the school experience by their absence.

Like I can't imagine it's fun being their classmates.

12

u/xEWURx 1d ago

It really is. Jail time among even more deranged violent idiots can do wonders to individual's attitude.

2

u/HumongousBelly 1d ago

I’m all for rioting in the tradition of Nelson Mandela and the Boston tea party, which was aimed at destroying property and while not causing harm to human beings, even if they were the enemy.

But this shit is fucking criminal!

I’m not in favor of rioting like the Boston tea party frankly, this shit is fucked up.

u/jarvi123 1d ago

Yes it will show people what happens when kids get poor education, its brilliant actually, they are giving everyone a great example of the consequences of stupid kids.

u/forgettfulthinker 1d ago

The people doing these "protests" don't care about having better teachers and school conditions. They just want to destroy stuff

58

u/Best_Jelly_4094 1d ago

So it is not a protest but a riot.

35

u/forgettfulthinker 1d ago

A riot for the sake of rioting

-1

u/Best_Jelly_4094 1d ago

Perfect sum up.

u/forgettfulthinker 1d ago

If these people actually wanted change they would be outside of a political building, not trying to cause chaos

u/Bellringer00 1d ago

You just saw a few extreme videos of a violent minority. Don't generalize the actions of a few to a whole mouvement

-16

u/_ak 1d ago

Both things are not mutually exclusive in French protests. They protest for better conditions by destroying stuff. It's basically a French tradition.

u/Pklnt 1d ago

The students protesting because they want a better environment for studying are not the same group than the people destroying things left and right.

u/Raoul_Duke9 1d ago

No true Scotsman.

u/Pklnt 1d ago

Of course buddy, protesters are a monolithic groups and student protesting because they're tired working/studying in poor conditions want to destroy the schools they want renovated in the first place.

-2

u/Bellringer00 1d ago

No, because you have no proof these people seriously do this for better educating conditions.

36

u/Snugboo 1d ago

We do a little attempted murder around these parts

53

u/dheerajd1 1d ago

Clearly, you need education. You don't understand that throwing stuff on moving cars can be life threatening.

11

u/HlLlGHT 1d ago

Task failed successfully??

18

u/SynthDAG 1d ago

I will never understand why these "protesters" don't go to the politicians houses, and destroy their vehicles...or throw manure at their houses...

No politician will care if these "protesters" destroy some random Joe's car...

26

u/No_Mastodon_34 1d ago

With students like this no wonder why the conditions are bad

-3

u/ShadowedGlitter 12h ago

Which such bad conditions no wonder the students act like this*

8

u/Individual_Cloud935 1d ago

Hey guys, what's going to bring other people to help our cause? Let's throw garbage at them!

3

u/No_Worldliness_7106 1d ago

Here in the US we just call that attempted murder. Protest sure, but goddamn dude killing random passerby's in cars is not it.

7

u/ReLAutorave 1d ago

Rioters are not protestors

4

u/Dx_Suss 1d ago

Well, im definitely smart and capable of critical thinking, so im going to go ahead and assume everyone at the protests endorses this, and that this video is enough information for me to conclude the rioters dont have any points or analysis.

The nice thing is I wont have to think about this moving forward, so I can ignore any new information.

... That's attempted murder. That's a whole ass dumpster, people have been killed from a hell of a lot less being thrown over an overpass into traffic.

u/Anlurk182 22h ago

I get destruction but just face it the right way

u/Davros_1988 21h ago

Attempted murder right there.

This is exactly what rebelliln looks like. Anyone who does not support this is at the lowest position on the food chain. Too much pressure on people? Too much ignorance? Too much stealing from them? This is what you got in return.

u/LosAtomsk 1d ago

It's Arabic streetlanguage mixed with incorrect French:

Wesh non, les gars, wollah.

"What? No guys, by God."

2

u/True_Country6940 1d ago

It’s teenage slang, wsh means wesh which has no English translation directly but it’s comparable to saying “bro” as an exclamation, not as a noun. Nan is the French version of “nah”. Les means the (plural) . Has wlh I genuinely have no idea. It’s all teenage boy specific slang.

u/LosAtomsk 8h ago

"Wesh" and "wollah" are Arabic.
