The French are, at their core, romanticists and that makes them extremely susceptible to voting with their feelings rather than their minds.
Unless the French show some sort of ideological change in this protest, things will go right back to the same 'ol same 'ol. I think most of us are more excited that a Euro is actually doing something other than sticking up for Muslims after terror attacks
And hoping (praying) this signals some kind of change
Most heads are in the clouds right now at the thought of it
@bspon002 It started with general protests and outrage over rises in fuel taxes, however, it has slowly become a larger anti Macron sentiment, and is starting to spill into other countries in much smaller numbers as a general anti elite demonstration
@Flint Right. They have to want it enough. History has not been kind to them in this regard (they usually end up needing rescuing)
yeah but he asked why they're rioting not the philosophical French mentality
Gas tax
That was the straw
But if that's all it remains, then it will be settled and business will be normal again
Macron will probably placate them with a referendum for free gas for half a year or something, so long as they allow more refugees. French people will concede.

Well yeah, they're rioting over taxes, if they're given what they want they will probably stop rioting eventually.
makes sense to me
Someone tell Frenchie that migrants decrease wages..
It's not the whole story, tho. They're in the situation they're in because of everything leading up to _WHY_ those gas taxes were put into place. Simply being mad about the EFFECT, rather than the CAUSE, and conceding when the simple EFFECT is lessened, doesn't solve their problem. So no...it shouldn't make sense if/when they crawl back into their living rooms to watch television and stop rioting over having the tax decreased or lessened.
Yeah, it was only the last straw
That's great but economics is going to be what gets these people out and moving
Yep
I hope they can get a grasp of their own narrative before the media co's mold it
Can someone give me a tl;dr about the situation in France? I thought it was just about gas taxes
Not good to leave it to RT or BBC or whoever
Got an idea for a yt channel since I’ve really missed making videos. Not gonna show face or anything in it for the sake of my job, but I wanted to make a channel specifically for calling out degenerate movies and other media pushing certain agendas. If anyone wants to help me with this feel free! Just something for fun, definitely not trying to make any money from this
This public rising along with chemnitz are the two most genuine popular uprisings I have seen in europe in some time.
Got the inspiration from that new green room movie on Netflix lmao
can someone redpill me on the protests in Europe?
So, uh, like the poz button?
scroll up
@Kuruminha Surf YT and twitter for a few and you'll get it. Boils down to French working class shutting down highways to protest gas rate hike (final straw for them) and it's grown from there
@Kingfish no youtube videos or twatter please
@unclefesterr I doubt it, POZ button explores cultural influence in media, but it's not very current or normie friendly
I see those on the left and right in the protests.
Of course american antifa try to claim it's their movement
I wanted my channel to be a little more comedic, and even if poz button does similar things I’d still like to do this because I have pretty specific ideas
We do need an up to date, more viewer and normie friendly expose of tv and movies that are degenerate
>Populist uprising against corrupt elites making serious dents in the system
>BUT BRO ITS NOT EXPLICITLY RACIAL IN NATURE IM GONNA MOCK IT
@NITRODUBS more content, the better
<:really:453005408064241674>
The riots are about much more than just gas taxes. Sort of like how the Tea Party wasn't really about taxes
I’ll start up on it this December. Gotta big winter break coming up, will definitely give me enough time to make a longer in depth video
POZ button is niche and too long for mass consumption (I personally love it, but it's not for normies, obviously)
