>More than 100 people have been arrested after protesters angry about rising taxes clashed with French police for a third straight weekend, building barricades in the middle of streets in central Paris, lighting fires and throwing rocks at officers.
Sorry but what did I miss? I thought they were peacefully protesting fuel taxes and generally showing their discontent with the establishment.
>fuel is expensive >turn to other sources of energy Seems both practical and reasonable
Lucas Nelson
These kind of threads really show how zoomers are prevelant on this board, and have no idea what happened in the early 2000s
Matthew Martin
I remember watching the Seattle G20 riots on television. No I mean since when are they actively pelting the police with rocks and burning cars.
Noah Sullivan
>100 >out of 60 000 000 wew, lad.
Charles Ramirez
I think you missed the joke
Nathaniel Taylor
Oh I see now. Lmao they already burned 15 cars. That's nothing by French standards but it's an entire summer worth of car burnings over here.
Ryder Rogers
Based gilets jaunes BTFOing Macron
Gavin Perry
Yes yes, but what do they stand for? Just fuel price? Seems a bit of a lame reason to go full apeshit.
Gavin Williams
Beware of the MSM user.
Jose Gray
This is a global chimpout against Macron and all he stands for, you'll find literal gommies and neo fascists in these crowds, but it's a largely right wing dominated white lower-middle class movement
Nathan Nelson
>I thought they were peacefully protesting fuel taxes and generally showing their discontent with the establishment.
It's happening, the French are going to smash the (((government))) and expel all (((globalists))) and immigrants.
Come on Frenchmen! Honor and glory are within your grasp!
Do you have any self awareness? To realize how retarded your post is.
Bentley Hughes
wut. How is it right wing?
Joshua Reed
yikes
Ethan Scott
>burning cuckcars Nothing of value was lost
Lincoln Campbell
It's not he's a retard. Most g20 protestors have historically been lefties
Zachary Lewis
G20 promotes globalism, all protesters have been right wing.
Kayden Clark
macron is anti-right wing but he is also anti-socialist.
Angel Torres
There is a g-20 right now and every single protest is left wing.
Juan Walker
Hehe
Brayden Phillips
Leftists (at least ones that aren't shit at being leftists) are not in favor of capitalist globalization
Matthew Russell
>Just fuel price? Seems a bit of a lame reason to go full apeshit. Except that energy prices affects the end price of everything.
Colton Barnes
political leftism and economical leftism are two completely separate things.
macron is politically left and economically right wing.
Aiden Price
>I thought they were peacefully protesting fuel taxes and generally showing their discontent with the establishment. From what I gather, police were too heavy-handed and there were far-left and far-right agitators mixed in with the protesters who escalated things further.
Henry Cook
>Hurr durr let me tell you about your country They're not G20 protesters you retarded chink this shit started way before that, they're anti Macron protesters while leftist are trying to subvert the movement they are a minority. You had incidents of gays and immigrants being attacked, a huge chunk of their leaders are right wing affiliated, you have meme far right activists like Fucking Ryssen joining, not to mention the obvious French flag waving and Marseillaise singing instead of the red flag and the internationale.
Henry Moore
As someone with French ancestry I can tell you that you're wrong. The protestors are what is known as "Jacobins."
This is a group of obvious Jewish descent, from the twelve tribes of Jacob. Thus, France is controlled by Jewish lizard people.
Any questions?
Ayden Lee
I would never park a car in Paris. Never.
Henry Thomas
Yeah you would just park a tank.
Grayson Cook
Kiwi plz, France is a BLACK jewish lizard nation
Asher Brooks
>G20 Nah, Macron tries to reform the work laws (bascially remove any protection for the worker) like the lefties did here 20 years ago.
It's already the second time its tried tho last time there was by far a bigger break down.
Hudson Rogers
>Tries He already did pass his laws like a year ago Hans
Lucas Allen
those protests have literally nothing to do with G20
Bentley Reed
>Je fais comment pour acheter mon Pastis at ma grille de Loto à la fin du mois si j'ai pas mon pognon? Envoie la monnaie enculé de Macron, à mort les zimpots! Gnééééééééééé.. Au fait on est pas que des gilets jaunes, les dents aussi. Gnéééééééééééé
Nothing to do with EU but rather with the competitivness of India and China.
It's hard to compete when some Indian Child slaves 18 hours a day for 0,20€ a month. For a good economy we have to achieve this too.
Hudson Robinson
So much for the tolerant left amirite my based centrist friend?
Jaxon Johnson
>Melencuck
Aiden Ramirez
>i-i-it's a right wing protest >IT WAS HER TURN OK!
Joshua Robinson
>Nothing to do with EU why? the e""""u"""" is all about competitiveness and shit it's rather simple, either lower wages and increase working hours or you go in debt and you get fucked by the e""""u"""", ecb, commission etc etc
I feel like the French politicians are missing point after point in demanding a "leader", that the movement "forms" itself - why? So you can """"negotiate"""" i.e. leave people with a bad deal?
Also this has nothing to do with G20, stop trying to shoehorn it into old political paradigms.
In a way it shouldn't be that hard to grasp - people aren't happy and they've kind of told you why. As a politician it's your job to figure out how to solve it.
It's like if a TV show is tanking and people post bad reviews online, the producers wouldnt listen to the broad criticism but instead demand the detractors "unite" and elect a "representative" to discuss script ideas with them. Wut.
Logan Ross
Leaf tard plz

TWO FUCKING YEARS
Carter Adams
Yeah labour costs fall down. For us it was earlier than for others. It's inevitable.
Carter Jackson
Melencuck is as pathetic as LePen's daughter if not worse, especially the revolutionnary larping part
Brody Watson
yea they are and the e""""u"""" demands exactly that
Dominic Ross
Why do you have a hard on the EU? I don't see it as a factor in it. IT rather the very opposite. While this was the case in North America already in the 90s it came here much later because of EU protectionism.
Joseph Harris
yes and the e""""u"""" promotes the same rn
Caleb Anderson
where? Are you still bitter you can't buy some houses and a boat on our cash?
That the Greek state has actually to cut down it*s cost that were financed with our cash.
Colton Brown
>financed with our cash. what was financed was your corrupt and failed banking sector, and that is our cash in reality not yours. >where? everywhere across Europe by e""""u"""" dictum
Christopher Murphy
>Banking got 60 billion >The Greek state got 240Billion
I take the banks any day over your corrupt failed ass.
Samuel Lee
>I take the banks any day over your corrupt failed ass. but that's what you did, twice the second one was with our money, you're welcome and don't be so profligate and corrupt next time
What Tsipras have been up to recently? I thought he was going to save Greece from Kraut pig oppression
Michael Ortiz
I accepted all demands and actualy greeks pay for the first time since 3BC taxes. Also the state doesn't employ dead people anymore to get double wages.
Samuel Ramirez
>What Tsipras have been up to recently? nothing you haven't already seen he's your typical neoliberal center leftist now
>Is there any hope for Greece? who knows. guess none or violent uprising of some sort golden dawn have always been petty thugs anyway. Involved with the deep state and such, rising to power was never an option for them
>So who's left now KKE- Communist Party of Greece, if by left you mean the political left they're unironic Stalinists other than that, New Democracy, the neoliberal right wing party is polling to win the next election
What is it about then? I was starting to think you guys really have something special with fuel
Josiah Diaz
It's the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Wyatt Nguyen
I was in the riots, such an incredible moment, no one know where it's going.
Evan Foster
>no one know where it's going. That's a mistake. Set your political goals , demands and form some agenda or the movement will blow over within a month.
Jace Powell
This a grassroot movement with no functional centralized command just some sets of local leaders. A number of demands were already made, 42 points if i recall correctly, but Macron will never ever give in to them
Eli Scott
That's quite funny, because this protest is not about left or right, and the only candidate who understood this during the election was Macron. And even by being knowing it, he couldn't find the answer.
Christian White
Just to be clear, those are not immigrants, those are law obedient french people chimping out.
Aiden Torres
yeah we have those grassroot movements in here, lmao. you need better cops.
