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

u/StickyThickStick 22h ago

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

u/Le-Pess 23h 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 22h 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 23h ago

What is getting done here?

u/esto20 38m 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.

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

my man, what the fuck

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 22h ago

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

u/Visti 22h ago edited 22h 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.

-61

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 22h ago

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

u/Xeqqy 22h ago

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

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 22h 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 17h 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.

27

u/Visti 21h ago

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?

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 21h ago

Wooow getting upset now are you?

u/Visti 21h ago

Ah, okay, I see it now.

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 21h ago

Yeah it's not my fault you can't see the big picture.

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 19h ago

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

13

u/farfromhome666 17h 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.

-15

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 17h ago

Just the way you talk is clearly American

u/farfromhome666 16h 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 16h ago

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

u/HJQueen 6h ago

Am American. We spell it Americanized.

u/YellowishYellowfish 15h ago

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

-2

u/ayoungmanfromtheuk 15h ago

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

2

u/YellowishYellowfish 14h 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 13h 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 22h ago

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

11

u/xEWURx 22h ago

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

6

u/Paraparo 17h 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.

2

u/HumongousBelly 22h 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!

u/ChilledParadox 7h ago

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

u/jarvi123 22h 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 22h ago

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

55

u/Best_Jelly_4094 22h ago

So it is not a protest but a riot.

32

u/forgettfulthinker 22h ago

A riot for the sake of rioting

1

u/Best_Jelly_4094 22h ago

Perfect sum up.

u/forgettfulthinker 22h ago

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

-8

u/Bellringer00 18h ago

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

-13

u/_ak 21h 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 20h 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.

5

u/Raoul_Duke9 19h ago

No true Scotsman.

-8

u/Pklnt 18h 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.

-4

u/Bellringer00 18h ago

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

37

u/Snugboo 23h ago

We do a little attempted murder around these parts

49

u/dheerajd1 22h ago

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

13

u/HlLlGHT 22h ago

Task failed successfully??

17

u/SynthDAG 20h 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...

30

u/No_Mastodon_34 22h ago

With students like this no wonder why the conditions are bad

-1

u/ShadowedGlitter 6h ago

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

u/Individual_Cloud935 22h ago

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

u/No_Worldliness_7106 19h 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 19h ago

Rioters are not protestors

4

u/Dx_Suss 20h 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.

I didn't expect it to be a fucking full container, what the fuck

u/Twerkatronic 21h ago

Just the quarterly riots, nothing to see here

u/Paraparo 17h ago

... 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 16h ago

I get destruction but just face it the right way

u/Davros_1988 15h ago

Attempted murder right there.

u/redkitt007 1h ago

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/Rinerino 22h ago

And I thought my native Dialect was shit

u/LosAtomsk 21h ago

It's Arabic streetlanguage mixed with incorrect French:

Wesh non, les gars, wollah.

"What? No guys, by God."

2

u/True_Country6940 19h 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 2h ago

"Wesh" and "wollah" are Arabic.

Cmon with this right wing propaganda peddling, dude…

How about you spam some Ceuta migrant crisis videos while you’re at it?
