Anybody keeping up with the riots in France?

[Younggun]

Been watching some basic coverage. I find it pretty interesting given the protestors/rioters are made up of both sides of the political spectrum.

We talk a lot about people revolting over gun control, but these people are back to basics and took the TEA party to the extreme. The French president has an approval rating in the low 20s, and people are sick of footing the bill for globalism.

Video does a fair job of explaining the basic situation, crap that’s been going down, and why.

I get my wine from California and my cheese from Wisconsin so I don't really care about France.

Besides the greatest contribution France ever made to society was the BJ.

Good for the 'Yellow vesters".

That dude reads like a robot.

I cringed seeing that Porsche being flipped over.

The 'brouhaha' is due to 'climate change politics' that Macron thought he would nobly help with.....that completely backfired.

French Elitists aka leftists, thought they'd 'do the right thing' and stop the middle class from their profligate use of fuel.

But of course, the Elitists get to keep and fly (or have flown) their private jets, gas guzzling limos, maintain their palatial homes with the so-called carbon footprint of a small city, and generally act like Marie Antoinette while expecting the 'little people' to do without, because it'll help slow or stop climate change.

French is a stupid language anyway. Counting from 70 to 99 is STUPID.
They don't even pronounce a bunch of letters in words (they waste letters!!)
They should all just MIME. (Marcel Marceau)????

Macon is a macaroon

The ‘Macron’ is the term used to express quantification of the property of moronity (stupidity). With most idiots, the degree of stupidity falls in the milli-macron range and is generally found to measure below (100) milli-macrons. The President of France is a rare phenomenon who should be recognized and treasured for his extreme stupidity which should set a lofty (though unachievable) goal for other Leftist Political Leaders to emulate.....

It's just drama theater. We get to watch idiots suffer from their poor choices.

If it wasn't for the French we all would have continued to be Subjects of the King.

Belgian and Germany also, just don't hear about it on MSM because it doesn't fit the "global warming" carbon tax narrative.

The Frequent Funeral Networks are indeed the "enemy of the people'.

It made its way to the US when the doughboy came home from WWI.

I see not so much as a whisper of the French protests and riots on CNN news home page or world page today.
It has been all over Fox and Drudge for days.

There is little wonder why some people are referred to as low information voters.

But, but... there can't be unhappy people or problems in Europe! After all, our liberal intelligentsia wants to the US to be just like Europe - in nirvana!
