----set fire to cars, banks and houses---

So, banks are burning and then Macron has a big meeting.

Burning banks is big time political trouble

It’s about a tax..?

No, it’s about MUCH more than that.

They are seriously talking about a “state of emergency”.

Macron is determined to hold onto power.

At the core of the resistance to socialism is human individuality. Most rational people do not wish to be a cog in a wheel controlled by others.

But he smugly, and publicly, tried to lecture Trump that being a nationalist was not good. Seems like the people of France are saying the heck with the globalist Paris Accords and looking out for the world.

Guillotines were designed for socialists/progressives.
Let’s use them.

There seems to be a concentrated effort by the media to obscure the nature of the ‘taxes’ people are revolting about. Macron is trying to use a fuel tax as a way to fight ‘fossil fuels’ as much as a way to raise revenue. I hope we have enough courage to fight the same tax manipulation when socialists in this country get enough power to do this to us.

And yes, I do know the reasons guillotines were used for during the French Revolution, but we all know that the intellect and motivations of progressives are congruent to those of the corrupt French elites during that period. Think about it...fat, dumb, arrogant, and totally out of touch with reality.

"He added: “No cause justifies that security forces are attacked, shops pillaged, public or private buildings set on fire, pedestrians or journalists threatened or that the Arc de Triomphe is sullied.”"

macroni forgot to mention the exception: muslims running rampant with knives, grenades, and other methods of purveying mayhem.

Fascinating. I find it completely fascinating that the people of France don’t have the self respect to enforce their nations laws on the Muslim populace, don’t care that socialism has brought the French economy to shambles, watched as Frances military has become a shadow of itself, but will riot over a fuel tax. I just don’t get what French people believe is important, or why the don’t expect crippling taxes when they choose socialism. After all the things that they should have stood up for, now they riot over a fuel tax that helps curb CO2 emissions and pay for socialism!

I really wish someone here could explain this to me.

It is Russian TV (RT) but they are covering it extensively.

Well, then: Is it about taxes and more paid vacation time? (Six weeks / year is hardly enough, you know.)

Arson is a capital crime. People who set fire to houses should be shot.
