    French person here : they’re making it look like civil war.

    It is not.

    It’s protests, and it should be a revolution. The gov is just treating it like the Yellow Jackets in 2018, putting the emphasis on isolated incidents to justify the use of force and intimidation on young people who fear for their future.

    They claim they’ll listen to the student’s representatives and open a platform for students to express their doleances, but it’s all façade, as it was for the Yellow Jackets and the Citizen Climate Convention.

    Macron and his goons are the most hypocritical, cynical, lying cunts that have ever been in power in this country, and it’s been going on for almost 10 unbearable years of silent complicity with the far right and poaching poor people’s lifeblood to line the pocket of the upper class with more money than they could ever need in a 100 lives.

    Can’t wait for Mélenchon to chase those cunts out of power.

    Mélenchon’s party “La France Insoumise”, France’s equivalent of the DSA in the US, has expressed their support to the students protests and has called for its members to accompany and protect them, wearing white helmets or armbands. The collaborationnist establishment is, as usual, using the same old tropes we’re all getting tired of to “condemn the violence” and make it look like Melenchon is responsible for it all. It’s been their go-to for so many years, it’s not even funny anymore, just pathetic.

      Media: reporting it like it’s a civil war = the protestors are just winning.

      Media: trying not to report on it at all: nobody listened to the protestors and now it’s a civil war.

      Lmao

      Mélenchon wont do shit since he will never be elected. He s litteraly the most rejected political figure in France, more than lepen, and even zemmour. So if u want something to work dont associate anything with him. He s just an oligarch that won’t let his power go when his time is over for so long. The left won’t be able to propose anything while this individual want to play the politician.

        Wtf, he’s been condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine from day 1, what’s that shitty american propaganda about? He’s been pushing for a diplomatic end to the conflict whereas other euro countries and the US pushed for war in order to sell weapons!

        Trump is the one who’s been rolling for Putin from the start, so point your finger at that fat carrot.

          There’s no diplomatic end to this conflict and pretending otherwise is just a way to force Ukraine to make concessions that it can’t. Russia will never return to their borders willingly. They’ve said as much themselves. This is not American propaganda, it’s just reality.

        He probably is, but an opinion article by Alexander Hurst the meme stock guy isn’t really the best example of this.

        In fact, you might not even need to cite an example. Lots of people despise that guy but not the party policies. Very hard choices are coming during the next election and there is already so much misinformation.

        He also supported maduro went on visit there, cry when he was captured, cry when america killed Iran officials. His politics is just appealing to what he called the “new france” which are just imigrate even second or third generation. He s using them as a tool to boost his popularity but plying this game he threw most ppl toward the right than his camp. Dude lied about being from immigration background when his parent where part of the colonial expansions. A lyer that only serve his own goal at the depend of everybody that believed in him
