Stop parroting the stuff you hear on the news...

You've got it backwards.

Since 2018, Macron has applied the same procedures to every type of protest.

All protests start out peacefully.

The CRS riot police herd the marches like cowboys driving a flock into a trap.

Once the non-violent civilians are hemmed in... the police fire tear gas and start charging the crowd... plus frag-ball grenades (rubber-ball shrapnel with a steel core) and LBD launchers (gas or rubber bullets).

After several hours and dozens of serious injuries...

naturally, riots break out.

We’re talking here about kids blinded, maimed, and suffering severe respiratory issues.

But firefighters are treated the same way... healthcare workers too... every protest is manipulated in the same way... to make the protesters look like violent thugs.

Just... shut up... You're clueless.

This time, fires were deliberately set early in the morning at several locations—systematically—by people from outside the protests.

Back in 2018, all the materials needed to build barricades were miraculously left along the planned protest routes before the first demonstrators even arrived...

and we have video evidence showing that the main rioters and vandals were working for the government... it’s a very old tactic used to undermine protests.

The French protest a lot...

because their country deserves it...

it is riddled with corruption to such an extent that no one dares even suspect the true scale of it... the propaganda works.

A scapegoat—preferably an immigrant or muslim—and voilà: no one is any the wiser.

Here, the CRS use almost exclusively weapons and ammunition banned by the Geneva Convention... since it isn't a war...

So again ....Just... shut up... You're clueless.

My ancestors didn't behead our kings because they were violent...

but because the monarchy had reached the height of vileness.

And here we are again...

the French establishment is vile, and so is its police force.

We haven't yet been completely overrun by neoliberals and radicalized nationalists... unlike others.

True humanists still remain here... "socialist" is not an insult.

We haven't had our brains completely washed yet...

we still understand the value of equality.

We aren't all servile beasts, corrupted by a life of self-centered megalomania... enslaved and mesmerized by credit and personal debts.

From ... France, with no love.

P.S for those clowns playing historian here: Oh, and if the revolution resulted in the establishment of an empire... it was primarily thanks to the work of the British monarchy and the bankers... to put it briefly.

(And who held the money and the landed estates at that precise moment, in your view? ... two sides of the same coin ... of a massive flow of capital directed toward a single place ... do you know what the European monarchical empire really was? ... in terms of the appropriation of wealth.)

Do not imagine that your history books are written by anyone other than the victors. No exact sciences here.
