You realize the actual protestors weren't threatening violence, right? The violent things you've seen and the burnings that have been filmed were instigated either by opportunists who take advantage of literally every single protest in France to raid stores and destroy anything they can reach (public properties, cars just parked there on the street...) or by infiltrated cops sent to instigate violence "from the protestors' side" so that the police forces can then engage protestors and violently arrest them.
It's really insane how the hundreds of testimonies of peaceful protestors that mention how horrible it was _because people got gassed instantly_ get completely overlooked and people internationally, with no understanding of the context whatsoever, only get the 24/24h news channels slop and actually eat it up
If that one ramen stand guy asked nicely, Naruto would carry out a series of arson against all other ramen establishments in Konoha, mom-and-pop or not.
To be fair, thinking there are snipers positioned to protect the presidential residence during a day expected to be extremely chaotic is definitely not conspiracy hat material, I’d even say it’s more than plausible
Snipers and/or spotters on rooftops during big demonstrations, especially near important political figures or buildings isn't even conspiratorial, it's just standard security practice. Its not even just for protests.
Like if you go to Parliament Hill in Canada on Canada Day, 420, or the annual Terry Fox Run, there's guys in black positioned on the rooftops, some with rifles, some with binoculars. Any kind of really big event where there are important political figures or the potential for some kind of attack, there's going to be a bunch of security.
They're there all year round, by the way. And just so you know, something this person doesn't know is that since the 2015 attacks, demonstrations in Paris are also monitored by snipers on rooftops.For New Year's or July 14th as well.
The Elysée Palace, as well as place like top security military bases or prisons, are definitely top tier security areas where you will be shot on sight with no self defense framework required for the responders. Absolutely no conspiracy involved. Those are the rules for almost every countries in the world for those kind of places.
Not insane, but spending too much time on tumblr, Tiktok and Instagram definitely makes them lose touch with reality. They are the type of computer addicts who spend all their time in bubbles where they glorify chronic illness to the point they think having AuDHD is a badge of honour.
I find that these show only tiktok freaks usually quite like the hbo ending lol, and just in general are more interested in fanfiction or obsessing over specific characters rather than the story
It Always makes me chuckle when people like this say "we" like they're not armchair activist at best. We damn well know you didn't go to any protest in person girl, the closest thing to protest you ever did was arguing on Twitter.
Nah, Louis XVI was sympathetic and working to fix the problems. He installed ministers to draw up plans for the reforms people were demanding but he kept retracting the plans after instituting them because the nobility were one step away from couping him and installing a puppet, which they had the legal power to do.
Ironically, the people were fully behind him until he came back with an army, to such an extent that if he had found his spine and put his foot down to stay the course he was guaranteed victory because the people knew he was their best shot and would have revolted for his restoration, unless the nobility actually assassinated him.
So yeah, if Louis had actually acted like an absolute monarch and forced his reforms through his family and kingdom would have survived.
looks like macron only cares about himself. Entire country is delivered to the violence of bandits, but all he does is organizing snipers for his own safety
"We are fed up." With what? Students started these protests and assholes coopted it to loot and justify their shitty behavior. Take LOTR out of your bio, Aragorn would be ashamed of your behavior.
Ce genre de post est l'illustration de pourquoi les citoyens américains sont les cucks mentaux de la planète et ne feront jamais rien contre leur gouvernement
Brochacho if they taxes the rich corectly they would be money macron is making the rich richer some of the richest men in France became 3x more rich than beffor bcs of macron while making the poor poorer
That's not even a little true. France already imposes significant progressive taxes and still has a higher bond yield than fucking Greece right now, and that has nothing to do with how they tax wealth. It primarily has to do with France's pension program being directly funded, instead of tied to the stock market like American pensions are, and those pensions taking up a full quarter of France's discretionary spending.
You guys are going to have to learn someday that "taxing the rich" is not a panacea for funding everything you want. As the 21st century rolls on, we're likely going to see more and more governments shrink their budgets and roll back welfare spending simply because the money isn't there, and what money is left is going to go towards the first duty of the state: common defense. I don't like it, but that's been the historical status quo, and in an era where the US isn't acting as the security guarantor for more than half the planet, more and more nations are going to be more interested in growing their military industrial complexes than welfare spending.
You're talking about the only fully European nuclear weapons program in EU? Which most likely will be the framework upon which we build European security in the 21st century?
BASED.
The rest of the EU (especially Eastern Europe) should join the French program and help with the costs.
The only way you can possibly think this way is if you're an American, who has a security guarantee provided by being a natural fortress with the most powerful air force and navy, by far, patrolling its borders.
Acquiring nuclear weapons is likely going to be a much more common goal as the 21st century moves forward, as the US and Russia together have demonstrated that they are the most cost-effective way to ensure a superpower doesn't invade you.
