Who are often the first to be killed in a revolution? The revolutionaries and why? Because they are traitors and cannot be trusted. The American Revolution is a rare example where peace came after a change of government.

I watched some of the videos and the protestors I heard had foreign accents and did not look ethnic French. Wondering if they have their own antifas as well.

In France the Left has so cemented itself into power that genuine alternative candidates and policies are not permitted. French conservatives tend to emigrate if they can.

I’ve been told that my appreciation for France should have expired after WWII — an opinion I respect — but I’m still... waiting... hoping...

"French Rassemblement National (National Rally) leader Marine Le Pen has been possibly one of the most vocal supporters of the Yellow Vests, of course, condemning any violence seen on the Champs Elysees saying: “Of course we condemn the violence. But often, this violence emanate from the same: the black blocs, the “Antifa” groups. The most serious violence comes from these extreme leftist groups.”

LePen (on the left in the picture with Salvini of Italy on the right)

LePen gave Macaroni a good run in the last election and is leading the Limousine Liberal Globalist at the moment.

France, BVA poll:

Approval ratings (president+party leaders)

Le Pen (RN-ENF): 27% (+3)

Macron (LREM-ALDE): 26% (-3)

Dupont-Aignan (DLF-EFDD): 25%

Ruffin (PD-*): 23%

Besancenot (NPA-LEFT): 22% (+1)

Hamon (G.s.-S&D: 21% (-2)

Field work: 21/11/18 – 22/11/18

And that above from Breitbart is old news. Some polls in recent days are showing Macron at 20-23% approval.

------------------

The anarchists are out every day but the vast majority of the protestors are out on the weekends for a very logical reason: they are working class people, largely non-violent and they are working during the week.

“riot police used tear gas “

Chemical warfare as the Democrats call it.

Yup. They have to protect their pensions. I got it. Whether you call it a civil war or a revolution it would be bad. Maybe call it a civolution. Whatever. Something has to give. Trump won’t be President forever and when the commies take back full control they will be emboldened and lay the sickle AND hammer down on us. But then all good things come to an end because man is inherently evil. Let’s hope that Jesus comes quickly.

Antifa is big in Europe and was active there long before the Antifas made it to the US to join with the remnants of other European movements, such as the Black Bloc. It’s basically, like Black Bloc, an anarchist movement. As usual most of the members are from the more privileged classes in origin.

These riots started with the truckers, who are not Antifa, but just your average European union member leftist. People were upset over the fuel tax rise, but I wouldn’t regard them as exactly freedom fighters. Europeans are in love with government, and expect it to give them everything, and they never think to ask where the money comes from to do this. (Another thing they were complaining about is Macron’s attempt to raise the extremely low retirement pension age by a year or two.)

So it started as just your average European labor-demonstration-quasi- riot and then Antifa saw its chance, along of course with the Islamist element (look at the videos) and this is what we have.

Parisians are rioting over the results of the Paris Climate Accords.

The irony is likely lost on the virtue-signaling morons who put this nonsense in place.

... But what were the other 98,500 people doing there but demanding an end to $5/gal diesel prices, half of which is TAXES, to pay for shitty roads, “green” initiatives and the “general fund”....

We were there almost a hundred years ago... with 42% tax...our politicians, in order to keep the population quiet, made it illegal for gas stations to post the amount of taxes on fuel.

These “hicks from the sticks,” control the food supply. Unless you grow your own food, you are very vulnerable.

You might be onto something there, HGC. It seems to be the one true constant in these riots.

LOL!

“Is Paris burning?”

Just as important: do we have enough marshmallows?

Same crap went on in 1967. What happened to that ‘revolution’?
