I’m filled with joy
In the land of the fee they would be using high caliber machine guns right now. Mowing down anything that moved.
In the land of the free they would lick the boot and do nothing
Lock all these fucking criminals up
Pinochet like it
I think they tried, but they failed to disable the criminal’s vehicles with what they had on hand.
Bad ass I must give them my technology of revolutionaries and show them the marketplace of disruption
The French are fucking legit. We need that energy in the US. I mean, it’s much easier to organize and meet in city centers in France than in the US, but if you can get 2000 dedicated and coordinated people to split into groups of around 500 and cause chaos simultaneously in any large city you’ll overwhelm the local police, national guard, whoever they decide to call in. Plus a group of organized patriots could easily disperse and blend back into the crowd if needed, then re-convene, regroup, and hit them where they ain’t. I mean FFS there’s a national guard armory a few miles from me with hummers, apc’s, a few tanks, and all sorts of sweet military gear. At any given time there’s probably 30 people or less on site guarding things, and they don’t really wanna die. There’s a single chain link fence with some cantina wire keeping people out. A car or a pair of bolt cutters will take care of that. You show up with a few hundred armed civilians, smoke the hell out of the place, cut power lines to the armory, and let them know they can either hand over the keys, disarm, and leave, or they’ll be burned down with the building they’re in.
Most military vehicles don’t even have keys. If you get thru the fence and can open the door/hatch, it’s yours.
2000? more like 10k
Nice
No, Paris.
Nice
No, it’s Paris

Argue all you want, it does restore a little of my faith in Le Mans.
1 - the French protests will not end well. 2 - US protests would end even worse 3 - no kings is mostly old boomers reliving their youth. The majority of you get people there are dragged by their parents or grandparents. It is also a very small percentage of people who support no kings 4 - I do have to congratulate the No Kings people, there aren’t currently any in the US. So good job.
I’m a do-nothin’ lil bitch and I’m smug about it
We get it, Vlad.
Ukraine needs to cloud burst a few more yandex data centers
Damn French pigs
Allez les gars, n’oubliez pas 1789!
I wish No Kings protests in the US looked a little more like this. That’s fucking awesome.
In the US they would open fire and kill hundreds of protestors.
Good
Go fuck yourself, those would be good people dying
good at making me coffee
Good people dying for a good cause. The US is catatonicly lumbering towards self destruction. One death won’t snap anyone out of it. Alex Pretti proved that. It’ll take hundreds of people slaughtered for the people to wake up. If the government doesn’t bury it like China does with Tiananmen Square.
Bro US is just China with “two” parties
Thats how change is made
Despite everyone saying they want to die on the internet they don’t actually want to die, hope this helps
Perhaps that’s exactly what it would take for some people to snap out of it.
there aren’t quite enough politically motivated suicidal people for that to happen yet
I think in the US you would see this if people felt like they were choosing between dying and dying. If it was die in a riot or starve to death or die of exposure for example. Right now it’s suicide by cop or pretend everything is fine. I think if the US didn’t have insane violent thugs in surplus military gear driving armored vehicles as law enforcement you would see a lot more “action”. The math just doesn’t add up if you know acting this way will likely end up with you dying.
This is what the rest of the world doesn’t understand. It’s been demonstrated in history. Everyone thinks USA Mickey Mouse and Coka Cola! It’s more like the saw movies.
Yeah it’s not my fault I’m a coward, the rest of the world never had to fight in the face of death for their rights so they wouldn’t understand.
Huh actually they do understand seeing as most of them did have to do that.
It is all Mickey Mouse and Coca-Cola. And by that I mean they have you fat and distracted.
Speaking of Mickey Mouse go watch andor again and tell yourself how brave and righteous you were while you watched.
You’re not a coward. You probably never had a gun to your face or bled for six hours, talk about a roller coaster of thoughts.
Keep telling yourself it’s so much tougher to protest in America than it is for France. Whatever makes you feel better.
Yeah. It’s not like people don’t remember what happened in Kent State or the Coal mine protest. You can say all you want about the second amendment until you learn the concept of superior firepower.
Oh I mean, If you wanna go back to BLM where Americans set fire and destroyed several businesses sure. People act like Americans have never destroyed property, the problem is that it wasn’t properly coordinated and people were burning down random fucking businesses rather than actual places that deserve it. All it lead to was food deserts and small businesses shuttering.
Never mind the fact that we could and would absolutely get shot for rolling up on a cop car like this but, sure man. I do love getting my daily reminder from non-US people that I should go outside and get myself killed today.
That’s not what I meant and I’m pretty sure you knew that
No, not really, and I mean that genuinely.
There are too many people on here that say shit like “You should firebomb a Walmart” and mean it with their whole heart. We already had that with the Kimberly-Clarke warehouse and we got diaper shortages. Firebombing a Walmart only hurts the locals in the area who won’t get food.
Even with bombing a police station, pray that locals actually care about each other and can respond to emergencies appropriately. I absolutely think police need reform but I’m not gonna sit here and go “I don’t need to call the cops if someone breaks into my house”
Firebombing a billionaires house? Absolutely, it hurts no one else but them (pray that no house workers are in there). Fireboming cop cars when they’re attacking protesters? Sure.
But people are fucking stupid. Luigi
shotdid nothing to that CEO and that’s great and all, but it didn’t change anything. Now we got a chucklefuck who shot a random pharmacist because “Big Pharma Bad.”I just think that too many people on here are encouraging senless violence rather than actual, planned, and carefully considerated operations. And i do not want to see innocents get caught up in brash, half-baked bouts of insanity because a person thought they were “helping.”
Pretty sure they are focused on the cops there
Americans prioritize the flow of treats over any action that might hurt the oligarchy. Even if a warehouse was burned down by an organized revolutionary militia that was actively trying to bring about change, y’all would complain that you can’t get your 10-ply toilet paper.
I absolutely think police need reform but I’m not gonna sit here and go “I don’t need to call the cops if someone breaks into my house”
There are entire communities, districts, and sometimes towns, where police on average poses bigger threat than any criminal ever would. Home invasion scenarios almost never happen, and on a rare occasion they do you can at least fight back. Meanwhile, police routinely enters homes, shoots nondiscriminatory, and if destroy people’s lives for nothing, and you can’t even do shit about it.
And that’s before we talk about when police actually tries to do their job, the fuck they gonna do with your twenty scallywags entering your abode, outline your dead body?You should firebomb a Walmart
I spend a lot of time on Lemmy and I haven’t seen a single person say that.
If I ever firebomb anything it will be a data center.
In Minecraft.
Lol you must be fortunate. I’ve seen bloodthirtsty maniacs foaming at the mouth in a thread about kittens.
Link?
Just give it a few days, it will happen again. And again.
surely in minecraft
If this was an american no kings protest, those cop cars would have been swerving to hit the protesters.
The cops would later say that the protesters stepped in front of their car, and would get no punishment.
Multiple attempts were filmed. At least one attempt by the “anti flony brigade” (“Brigade Anti Criminelle”, or “BAC”)
Don’t worry, French cops did it at least one time during the high schoolers protests we had the last few days/weeks. We are witnessing a very violent response from the police here in France (nothing close to what ICE is doing in the USA…yet)
Leaving this here
Why should these correlate?
It doesn’t show correlation. They’re probably making a point about priorities, because it shows more people attend furry conventions over the course of a year than ICE protests.
Absolutely correct. I made the graph out of a joke and did not expect the result. A lot of US people still believe that what they are doing is “heavily protesting the government”.
And how did you define “ICE protest”? We had 8 million at No Kings in one day last year, funny how that isn’t in your cherry picked graph.
lmao, I know that education is bad, but at least try to read and understand that graph, where it clearly says those are ICE protests, so your allegation of me cherry picking is simply stupid. And if you believe that No Kings was about protesting ICE, then you most likely did not even understand the message you want to transmit to your government
The No Kings protests grew a large number of participants, because US people love to walk around with cardboard signs together with friends. After the protests, everybody went home happy and the next day everything was as if nothing happened.
Just another one believing you are heavily protesting your government while the rest of the world is laughing at you.
One of those is proven to be safe and the other is not
Its not correlation, it’s causation.
furries are the opiates of the masses
If they did we’d lose the election in a heartbeat. You keyboard warriors who sit at home and do nothing but whine and criticize are the fucking worst.
Frustration leads to chaos. The French are very frustrated at the moment.
gee, i wonder why? definitely not the government’s fault…
We all know American cops are fucking pigs and may kill you just because, we’ve seen the videos. We also saw footage of one guy taking care of the CEO of not a minor healthcare insurance company, with a printed gun, iirc. Shit is crazy, and that’s precisely why people must do something else than well-behaved protests. Nonviolent protests can be way more effective if planned correctly. Think about the Hormuz blockade, it’s not a bloodbath there, but it is hell for the USA allies. Cops aren’t the problem, you do not need to literally fight them to change shit.
The pretty thing of this video is that people is sending a clear message to the State, and probably, the government of France will change its stances.
Yeah cops are literally the problem. Their “job” is to protect the system and the status quo and the interests of the rich and powerful
Like the Police, a few “bad apples” will show themselves but, this is people protesting that schools and education in France are underfunded, dilapidated and children do not have materials to learn while they are in cold, drafty classrooms with leaking roofs. I see an increase in funding for schools and education in France’s very near future. There is a a good reason why the retirement age in France was not raised even after the government announced that the age of retirement / pension entitlement would be raised. Anyone calling this rioting is a class traitor or a shill.
look at the amazing no kings protests in the US where people danced and sang their way into a dictatorship.
Threaten capital.
i say we need to start thinking bigger. transport. electricity. water. hit the system where it hurts
And then finally do nothing. these people are doing you are thinking.
Are you in the US? You can get from any point of France to the capital relatively quick through driving or transit. People in the US do stuff but it’s tough to have numbers in the streets like this when we are so spread out and the police will shoot you on the way.
these guys are also taking a beating in Paris. I’m just saying that there is a massive gap between the American perception of themselves and the reality.
hit ordinary people where it hurts?
Not saying we should limit those essentials, but you do mention a phenomena that we should be aware of, and that’s that any damage to economics at any level tends to have a ripple effect, whereby normal people wind up feeling the pain in some form. Could be as mundane as layoffs from “cost cutting,” in response to the need for more security, or loss of assets, or anything really.
Occupy Wall Street enters chat.
French education been underfunded since like Chirac. it’s kinda impressive how it came to this.
The big problem France has, is that they are broke and since apparently no country in the world is willing to tax major coorperations and barely tax billionaires it will be very difficult to keep low retirement ages or bring all the schools in France up to reasonable standards.
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.
Lmao Nah, at this point they’re just wrecking shit for the fun of it
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?
Wow so deep
Please keep sharing your expertise
How about you explain hooliganism, since your so fucking deep
I don’t know, didn’t you read how I said you look like the expert here? You really sound like you yourself have attended so many of them you really have a thoroughly knowledgeable grasp on all the subtleties of the subject
I’m not saying that it’s not happening. But from my comfortable viewing point it looks like Senseless violence. But my entire country looks like that from the right point of view
Not putting up with bullshit, that’s what they’re doing.
By looting?
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.
Is that true though? Do you have data on that? That’s not what I’ve seen. They looted Louis Vuitton, is that a small local store?
I would love to read statistics about this. Do you have any pointer I can read?
The only problem is that most often these responses are made up.
Criminal gangs do tend to take advantage of these situations and use it as cover. Same thing happened during the London riots.
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.
This doesn’t seem very safe. I hope they’re protesting for something good this time, and not against environmental protections like last time.
Against environmental protection, wtf? Who do you think we are? No, we were protesting against yet another tax on gas that would have weighted mostly on the poors, again. This tax was presented as an environmental tax for people to drink the kool-aid, but when you’re poor enough and every cent counts, you can’t take it anymore. That tax was the straw that broke the people’s back, especially when knowing how few taxes our top 10% pay, which is just obscene. We have a thousand millionnaires who don’t even pay taxes at all.
So, it started in protest against that tax, then Macron spat on our face, then it became about much more than just that tax, it became an uproar against the fucked-up, dystopian society our dear Epstein class is leading us into.
It was repressed with great violence and injustice, until we just got burnt out by a president who’s paving the way for our local nazies with the complicity of the bourgeoisie and their collaborationist medias, who could not even respect the result of the 2024 parliamentary election (the equivalent of the american congress) that should have imposed a united leftist prime minister, etc… That’s only a glimmer of how Macron and his goons have starved, mutilated and despised the french people and destroyed the country for almost ten years.
Now, it’s the highschoolers and students that Macron is unleashing his pigs on, and when power spits in our face and start mutilating our children, then we come for its fucking head.
Thanks for telling me :3 I hope you’re successful.

🤣🤣🤣 yeah, sure, bro, sure. Bismillah c’est les ténèbres.
The irony: a contributing factor to both E. Macron elections was his stated posture as a shield against far-right. (M. Le Pen was his second round opponent in both elections.)

Please tone your condescendence down.
Those responsibles for MLP (and her kind) rise to power are not their opponents. The main responsible are themselves, their allies, and their goons/hench•wo•men.
The narrative about the protesters being responsible ignore the decades-long events chronology, the contribution of these big companies to our suffering, the proganda aganist the protesters even when unsupported by facts, etc. It is a blame shifting narrative.

Yeah the GJ are not good guys in my book.
And what book is that? “How to grind your poors for blood coffee”?
“we need to transition off fossil fuels ASAP to minimize the catastrophe”, actually
“and only by putting the effort on the less wealthy”. Or maybe you just didn’t took the effort to understand the causes (can’t blame you, foreign politics are complicated to get into) because the GJ indeed started from fuel increase but the main factor was a lack of fiscal equality, and the increase of the cost of living as a whole, while the most wealthy were shielded.
GJ?
Gillets-Jaunes, maybe better known in the anglosphere as ‘Yellow vests’ movement
Thank you! ☺️
Isn’t that painting with a broad brush? I thought there were a wide variety of people protesting for a wide variety of reasons.
Rising and unaffordable cost of living, education and underfunding thereof, amongst other things.
From what I heard, it’s multiple things coalescing into a singular movement at this point
This unfortunately is a preview/review of what’s to come in other nations as things unavoidably get worse everywhere
Fuck off.
Yeah this is not a good protest but likely foreign stoked chaos disruption.
Source ?
Being under 60 in the world right now isn’t safe. Embrace the chaos and forge your own future. You already know that the powers that be won’t ever voluntarily give you what you deserve
Oh fuck off. They were protesting environmental legislation that hurt regular working class people that contribute less than 1% to global warming. While the same government fucks were giving tax breaks to corporations and billionaires that contribute 99%. “THIS DOESN’T SEEM SAFE” 😂😂😂😀 Are you an American? I wouldn’t be surprised you pro-pedophiles would be put off by revolutionary action.
Huh? I was being funny with the “safe” comment. Also, they weren’t protesting tax breaks for billionaires, we’re they? They were protesting environmental legislation.
I do sympathize with this moment, however.
Actually, a lot of people were protesting tax cuts for billionaires; it was just a big-tent movement.
They were protesting environmental legislation targeting the working class. It wasn’t targeting the true polluters and it sure as hell wasn’t going to curb climate change. The government tried to use the excuse of climate change as a way to tax the working class more. Let’s be clear the neoliberal French government would never pass true environmental legislation because it would threaten business and elite interests!
Most Americans aren’t pro pedo. They’re just uninformed as shit. You would be too if you lived there.
Anyone who thinks any group of people are pro-pedo (apart from pedophiles) is an idiot.
They sure vote like they are though…
I mean something can be not safe and based at the same time. Revolution is often not safe, doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile
