This comment echoes a lot of the sentiments I'm seeing in this thread. I have to wonder if holding the proverbial gun to the head of the world around you, ready to pull the trigger at any well-timed injustice, paying lip service to the destruction of private property in spite of the authoritarian sentiments it fosters, and generally thumbing one's nose at the idea that it's entirely possible that neither the police nor the rioters are in the right, is the intellectually-honest approach?
- LargeTomato 3y agoThat's a lot of really big words. Anyway, the French protest very often. People joke that it's their national passtime. If these protestors are almost entirely children I have a hard time believing this is about civil injustice and I am more inclined to believe this is just for fun and clout.
- Philorandroid 3y agoHere are some smaller ones for you then: €1+ billion worth of damage to private property isn't in the norm for France's protest fixation, and regardless of the motivations of the actors, my concern is how many people here are giving it lip service like France deserved it for one officer's bad(?) shoot.
