This doesn't seem very safe. I hope they're protesting for something good this time, and not against environmental protections like last time.
Rising and unaffordable cost of living, education and underfunding thereof, amongst other things.
From what I heard, itβs multiple things coalescing into a singular movement at this point
This unfortunately is a preview/review of whatβs to come in other nations as things unavoidably get worse everywhere
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" ππππ 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.
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.
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
Yeah the GJ are not good guys in my book.
GJ?
Gillets-Jaunes, maybe better known in the anglosphere as 'Yellow vests' movement
