We will see

I dont think macron will survive this winter

Tbh

Macron doesn't need to face the voters for another 3 and a half years.

i don't think he's going to end up on the guillotine

Yellow vests isn't about gas tax

it is bigger than that

Neither does parliament.

It is

I know this is old but LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgOtVe9AgX0

And France has a strong executive model

people are tired of the current Establishment, the entire media is supporting them rn

which tells me these Protests are important

some outlets are screaming Russia, that is amazing

they are going to blame either trump or russian bots for this as well?

the protests

@hulton WW1 was sparked with a single guy being killed, duke ferdinand

someone posted this earlier i think..
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-08/pro-russia-social-media-takes-aim-at-macron-as-yellow-vests-rage

you either think like us, or you're a bot or pro-russia or worse

lol

@AdorableStormtrooper isn't her replacement just merkel 2.0? been calling her krampus for now

this and that the "Yellow Vest Protests have been Hikacked by Extremists" seems to be the establishment narrative rn

@Misomania ofc

@DrYuriMom in regards to the tweet link from @AdorableStormtrooper if you see the vid and not the discord embedded pics. You see them rolling in france.
It is this force being deployed the EU military police

wah

someone told me earlier they had a "military" and i didn't believe them

wtf

that was me

<:thonkms:372924645080432640>

they have an army, navy, space force, military police

😭

Their missions are all foreign

And standing army
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocorps>
And navy
<https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Maritime_Force>

@wacka @4AM_critter 🐉 do they deploy at their will right now, or do national govts have the right to block them or something?

And all the links are talking about pretty tiny forces

Im not sure thats actually been established

I accidentally read EUROGENDFOR as EUROGENDERFOR

Color me skeptical but I am not there. I just subscribe to the principle that extreme claims require extreme evidence.

lol

independent media on the ground is so crucial in all of this

one thing that will happen is a blanket ban on social media and news reports to try to quell the riots to avoid an arab springs event
