I used to look up to France for their ability to come together and rebel again against the unjust.

Can someone tell me what they’re doing over there?

    Coming together and rebelling against the unjust.

    To boil it down, billionaires stealing all the money.

  • Ah, yes. I remember y'all in the comments of the George Floyd protest live-streams.

    Maybe some of them are enjoying it, but it's not a daily occurrence outside of protests, and it the protest is legitimate. Their enjoyment is not the reason for wrecking shit.

    Good for them, wouldn't you have fun fighting back? We are ruled by wealthy vampires, I would rather die fighting them than help prop up this global system of genocide, endlessly exploiting every working person. There wouldn't be wrecking if there was a real dialogue between people and the rulers. The protests never start like this. They get together and ask for what they want, then the police started beating the fuck out of them.

    I just watched a clip, I've seen it in person before though more than once, where someone was just standing there alone doing nothing as the police groups ran by. Around a dozen cops threw him to the ground, stomped on him, beat him with sticks and he died. They want to kill us. So whatever fighting back they feel is necessary is what should be done. What are you doing to save people's lives?

    Not putting up with bullshit, that’s what they’re doing.

    This is always a disingenuous argument against protesting. There will always be opportunistic criminals that take advantage of these situations. It’s doesn’t take away the fact that protest and a national strike are the only actual power people have against the ruling class.

    I’m not worried about Walmart losing money on looted TVs when cooperations are part of the problem and are run by the ruling class. If it’s a small business, hope your shits insured.

    The only problem that most often it is the smaller stores that get looted because they can not afford the security measures of the large coorporations.

    a combination of external factors beyond the governmental control, the aftermath of short-sighted energy policies, the aftermath of even shorter-sighted deprioritization of public education, cost of living crisis on top of that and heavily biased fiscal policies on top of that and some good old government corruption as cherry on top.
