It’s behind a paywall for me. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that calling the rioters “vermin” isn’t exactly going to calm the situation.
- Police nationale: Why are they upset, what did I say?
- Given how distant the president actions and speech is from the will of the people this might as well be the XVII century
- “savage hordes of vermin”
- I find it hard to disagree when it appears to be teenagers burning and looting for the thrill of it.
- Echoes of The Spanish Inquisition... not a good sign.
Reminder that the reason French police are not rioting over pension changes is because their pensions are explicitly exempted from the change. ACAB
ACAB
- that would require they turn on their masters and as long as they keep paying that wont happen.
They should riot about it
- We will
- Hell yeah
And Macron blames video games. Crikey, this shit again?
I don't envy French voters, who will be forced to choose between Macron's successor and Front National in the next election.
Because presently it seems like Macron, the police, and young French muslims are cooperating in a concerted attempt to enflame the situation and help get Front National elected. And all while Europe is defacto at war, facing an existential threat in Ukraine.
Lucky that Macron can't run again, but it'd be nice if he didn't run a key NATO member into the ground while blaming it all on video games.
- LMAO Russia's failing attack on Ukraine is an existential threat to Europe?
  
  It's only failing due to outside support, if that gets mangled Ukraine doesn't have the resources to continue to fight in the manner it currently is.
  And just summing it up as 'failing attack' really downplays the hard fucking work Ukraine's fighters are putting in to keep Russia at bay.
  In today's world Russia's failure to turn up for a conventional war doesn't really display their true prowess, propaganda and cyber warfare. If the war in Ukraine no longer requires the resources be drawn away from those then they're back to full steam manipulation which means a far right wave across Europe, so yes Russia is still an existential threat to Europe.
