The French are revolting. It’s a tradition with them. Riots are as French as croissants, adultery and the 35-hour work week.
France’s current riots may, however, presage the fall of the Fifth Republic.
Mobs of students in the streets. Schools going up in flames. Police using tear gas and flash-ball guns. Hundreds of injuries and thousands of arrests.
The spark for the disorder was strikes by left-wing teachers and other public-sector workers, including firemen. The students besieged their schools at once.
The truants claim they’re protesting overcrowded and underfunded schools.
Nothing says “Please address schoolroom overcrowding” like setting fire to a fireman and filming it.
Nothing says “Please raise the biggest education budget in the OECD” like a masked youth kicking a policewoman in the head.
The disorder is backed by the far-left La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) party. Its leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is second in the polls for next year’s presidential elections.
The riots, French intelligence agencies told a government crisis meeting on Oct. 1, originated as “an operation organized by LFI (France Unbowed) and its proxies on the far left.”

France is one of the great democratic nations. It is a nuclear-armed Security Council member, and one of the two pillars of the European Union. But no nation is too big to fail.
They want to get rid of democracy? Dig a little deeper, Mr Green.
We seem to be headed for a world filled with “Presidents for Life.”
The idea of Democracy is coming to an end. We should have known it was being attacked when ‘Rats began their mantra to “defend” it.
I was in France in 2016.
The motorcyclists were unhappy about something.
A huge area had its streets filled with motorcycles.
At the appointed time they roared off.
There was no violence whatsoever. The police peacefully stood by and watched.
What did you mean by that?
I had to think about that comment for a minute. Yeah, you’re right.
Why are signs around the world always in English?
Too late to save The beautiful French Culture, its history,and cannot be saved.
> Why are signs around the world always in English? <
Good question. My guess: English is kinda the common language everywhere these days. You can reach a wider audience when your message in English.
Of course Islam. Tyranny of the minority. Fight back, submit, convert or die. French civilization with its rich history is worth saving. Otherwise it will be extinguished and any record of it will be gone.
Maybe it’s a question of reaching the only audience that counts.
Your question almost answers itself. The freedom to be righteously indignant, take action, and throw money around without thought is greatest in the English-speaking countries. Get your message in front of a camera using English and you’ll draw allies and funds from somewhere!
- Well organized.
- Well funded.
> Tyranny of the minority. <
Right. Dr. Peter Hammond did a study on this. When Muslims are less than 5% of a nation’s population, they are pleasant and peaceful neighbors.
Things change at around 5%. Then the Muslims start to demand more and more. Not ask, but demand.
Their threats become real at around 10%.
——-
France is now around 12% Muslim. And in some areas, that number is much greater.
There goes the Wine industry and replaced by Poppies and Opium
OMG , the Trash Bag protest ,LOL

Not to mention getting rid of legacy French citizens.
If the US, with its belief in personal freedom, personal choice, self-determinism, separation of religion and state (e.g. no state religion such as the Islamic Republic of Iran) is incongruent with your own desires and beliefs - then don't come to the US. You have zero right to come here with the idea / goal of changing the US to fit your world view. To do so is to declare that the traditions and shared beliefs of Americans are irrelevant - and therefore that the lives are those Americans are less important than you getting your way and changing the ways of a nation that was so good as to let you come in and start a new life.
Judging from various videos of the riots there are a significant number of legacy French useful idiots amongst the algerian and moroccan flags.
