The French Way of Protest

[briantrumpet]

Very sad footage on social media of a woman pleading with looters not to enter her small shop. Of course they just push her aside and run in to grab stuff. Another of youths intimidating a reporter and making throat cutting gestures.
It's all going to fuel the right wing parties.

'Wrong 'uns' had plenty of notice to use the pretext of the planned student protests to organise themselves for a free-for-all looting and burning fest.

Burn it all down?
Explain to me how that is going to help the cost of living crisis. If anything, it will simply make things worse.

It won’t. Anarchist migrants have jumped on the other causes, various peaceful protests. Same in Milan & will eventually happen in the uk. Possible Canada, maybe Montreal.

Evidence that it is migrants please?
Or is that just what your algorithms are telling you?

Obviously accepting the anarchist claim without a call for evidence. And fully believing that @Milzy is not an AI creation - you couldn't make him up.

I think for once @Milzy may have his tongue firmly in his cheek.

Don't spoil it.

That is a possibility.

First suggestion I've heard about the riots being backed by 'Islamists'. Is this actually so, or is it The Times doing Murdoch's bidding, as well at slavering over the prospect of international riots?

The Russian disinformation bots have been pushing this angle for a few days now.

Ah, I've now seen it's Mad Melanie (Phillips) pushing this line. She needs asking where her 'Islamist' info comes from. (In any case, the use of the term itself tells you where she's coming from.)

Based on nothing more than my observations, I think we are fücked. SM is pushing a right wing (MAGA, Russia, etc) narrative which stirs up both the extreme left and right. Extremities taking action never ends well.

My gut tells me false flag agitators causing most of the damage. Ask who benefits the most from what happened.

Melanie Philips, the voice of reason.

Hmm, even if some deliberate agitating provocation (maybe encouraged in the form of untraceable roubles) was present, there will always be people who like smashing things up, setting fire to them, and stealing things... see football hooliganism. I don't understand it in the least, but I don't think that's new to this era.

There's been hundreds of shops looted or damaged. It's just the usual scrotes taking advantage of the general unrest to rob high end trainers and scrap with the police.
