Imported the third world. Became the third world.

Apparently France has enlisted outside help to quell this rebellion.

This should only take nine months.

What was their excuse in 1968?

From Wikipedia it says:
"National feelings:
the country saw de Gaulle as too old, too self-centered, too authoritarian and too *conservative.*

De Gaulle was the head of the French resistance that was known to be communist.
Media had great control over what people "feel" ha ha

Similar to National *socialism* (Sozi) where "far right"

Good, at least they’re not PC. Too bad that we’re stupid enough to let in the millions comprising the ‘savage hordes of vermin.’

Those guys are no joke. Ten of them could probably quell even the biggest riot. But French law prohibits the deployment of the Legion on French soil. I suppose that if necessary, that law could be changed.

In the interim, the French have the GIGN that could be used in a few well-chosen places. Basically a counter-terrorism SWAT unit of the French national police, they as as serious as the Kepi Blancs. Formed shortly after the '72 Munich Olympics massacre, they have been quite innovative in their tactics over the years. All that is required now is the political will to use them.

...imploring tourists to take out travel insurance...

A surge in stolen luggage?

Muzzies making their move.

Not for the president, the French president is effectively an elected monarch.

France almost went full Stalinist after WWII

“France needs to call out the Foreign Legion and have them knock heads.”

They aren’t used internally.

Thanks, well they made their bed

I haven’t a clue of why the uprisings or who’s involved in them.

All I do know is that uprisings in France are a cultural tradition. Look at the French revolution and forward and you will see a history of angry men laying their lives down to preserve what they believe in, right or wrong.

I’m not making any judgements here, just encouraging folks to look back for the long term picture ratther than just the current events version of a momentary social construct.

History has been altered in Russia to control the minds of the average person, and it’s being done here in America, as well. What little history given to children is so boring and altered that nobody knows the trugh anymore. Find some old books.

Did they register their stolen rifles?

We may get to see them ride past mile after mile of burned cars and trucks.

You got a point there.
