I headed back up the Boulevard de Magenta. There I met protesters including a student at the Sorbonne, who had come to “support the highschoolers first and foremost, and to demand more money in public schools, from primary schools to universities”. Another major factor that he said had motivated him to come out on to the street “was the repression faced by highschoolers, who are under 18”, such as an incident in Lens, where a police grenade blew a 15-year-old’s hand to bits.

    Didn't Macron subvert the last election results by refusing to let the largest party who won try and form a government?

    I mean, what did he think would happen? The French tend to react to stuff like this.

    Why are you protesting in our city? I'm assuming they're not being obstructive but it seems kind of pointless to be protesting in/as diaspora.

    Don't forget when successful democratic revolutions happen, it tends to snowball all over because it shows it's possible to win

    Shit looks bleak now all over, but that's when people motivated to fix shit too.

    thats 100% not true. I was blown away what got done in a biden administration even given the poor position they were in. half got reversed but that again was because of those that helped vote in trump and the republican legislature. many good things came out of obama to and clinton. finally after many years and hindsite people realize how good carter was.

    thats a wierd logic. so people didn't vote for them and now want to complain they are not doing enough from their position that does not alllow them to which allows the republicans to do all this shit so they are as bad as the republicans because people chose for that to be the case.

    For all we know the pilot banged the copilots wife.

    Or he wouldn't stop farting in the cockpit.

    It could be anything, but if the plan was to crash the plane, if you're already in the cockpit you just crash the plane. If the pilot never got up to leave, stab him while trying to crash the plane. It's a lot easier to crash a plane than to let autopilot do what it was already doing.

    That doesn't mean the copilot might have just been a single idiot who's bad at planning. But there's just no way anyone will ever be able to trust any story on this.

    But every country involved will lie anyways to maximize propaganda value. They'd be saying what they are now regardless of the truth, so even if it's actually true, we can't trust it
