The Yellow Jackets Revolt and the Future of America
PJ Media ^ | March 22, 2019 | Sarah Hoyt

Posted on 03/24/2019 4:33:07 AM PDT by lowbuck

The media has been so quiet on the Yellow Jackets in France that you could be excused for thinking my title refers to some kind of invasion by weird wasps.

Well, for the record, it doesn’t. It refers to the ongoing revolt in France by various groups, but mostly, honest, middle-aged, middle-class people who are setting fires to things and making life hell in the ritzy districts of Paris (and elsewhere). snip . . .

They don’t want us to know that resistance is possible, even in Europe, where they’re far more advanced than we are. In fact, I believe they co-opted the name “resistance” mostly to take it from us, should we want it in the future.

But that’s okay. That’s fine. If they get away with stealing elections in 2020 (as they did a lot of the midterms) and rigging the system in their favor, I give them ten years at most. Our MC & MA are as slow to anger as anyone can be. But I doubt we’ll wait until the extremity of need our European brethren are experiencing before we blow our tops.

Because Americans are even more ornery than Europeans. Also, we are armed.

I hear the dollar store has yellow jackets cheap. I’d get them before the price goes up.

A terrific quick read (5 - 7 minutes) but gives you a very good understanding what is really happening in France by the middle class.

Living in Germany I see the reporting because I read several UK broadsheets daily. Like honest reporting about what is happening in American politics I rely on the Brits to give me an inkling of the truth.

Enjoy

Hilarious that the ‘riots” occur only on weekends and the “rioters” go back to work on Monday.

Sounds sort of like our Tea Party.
Here in Germany the press is often called the Lügenpresse. For example, when there were demonstrations after yet another citizen was killed by the “would be immigrants” allowed to flood into the country the press would have you believe they were the second coming of the Nazi's. When I watched them on TV, I just saw a bunch of middle-class folks, many carrying pictures of those that had been killed, walking in a peaceful manner and not saying much.
Another Freeper (pepsionice I think) writes a wonderful blog if you are interested in life in Germany from a cynical American’s point of view.

Our movement should use “(Blaze) “Orange” vests as many patriotic Americans already have them and they are readily available in stores and online.

Were the patriots in 1776 the "resistance"? Did they see themselves as such? I don't think so. No need to "resist" when the RKBA gives you more positive measures to maintain terror into the hearts of would-be tyrants. Now, if like Europe, they could just get our guns away from us, then... Hey, a zir can dream can't xe?

It's smart. That way the can sustain the pressure. It was like that in Beirut, Lebanon in 1983.

Nope Americans are not going to revolt. Not even if the elections are stolen. There are too many people who want government to care for them and they don’t understand the consequences. We have become lazy. There just aren’t enough of us anymore.

I’d prefer camo.
