C'est plus ou moins les "bonnets rouges" mais sans l'inffluence plutot fascisante du medef et de la FNSEA. Ils protestent l'augmentation du cout de l'essence et il y a beaucoup de "c'est la premier manif pour moi" dans le mouvement et ça serait super amusant s'il n'y avait pas déjà une morte en Savoie et des blessés graves un peu partout.

see this is why i don't drive (le prix de l'essence...bouarf, je comprends que ce soit important pour beaucoup de foyers, mais ça me dépasse totalement) (faites la carte navigo moins cher par contre, bandes de crevards. ou alors dézonez les tickets de rer, on s'en prends plein la rondelle en banlieue.)

ça craint pour la morte n'empéche, c'est quoi l'histoire? crs ou bien automobiliste en colère?

"Au Pont-de-Beauvoisin (Savoie), une automobiliste qui conduisait sa fille chez le médecin a été prise de panique quand les manifestants se sont mis à taper sur sa voiture. Elle a alors foncé sur eux, percutant une femme de 63 ans, a fait savoir le ministre de l’intérieur. En état de choc, la conductrice a été placée en garde à vue."

C'est vraiment un truc de gens vivant à la campagne (disons a plus de 30 minutes de la ville la plus prochaine). Aucun transports en communs sauf des bus scolaires. Donc tu as une voiture et tu payes l'équivalent d'un abonnement navigo par semaine.

Note que ce sont aussi les gens les plus en colère de la reduction de la circulation de 90 à 80 et je dois dire que je ne suis pas vraiment surpris de l'ampleur du mouvement. C'est vraiment la province contre Paris.

As someone who grew up in Britain and went to university in the US, I'm glad that someone said it. While there is a part of me who reflexively wants to say "IT'S SO MUCH WORSE ELSEWHERE", France has my condolences because it's only going to get worse. When you live in a capitalist dystopian world, there's no such thing as a public good anymore; everything is a commodity to be bought and sold in order to further entrench unearned privilege and further enrich the rich.

Yup. Also most likely no foreign students outside a few major universities period, because if you're going to pay the same price, why wouldn't you go the best ones? Ditto for humanities departments (not profitable enough for this investment).

The gilets jaunes asking for lower taxes (on gas primarily but not exclusively) but more public service make me think of the "No take; only throw" dog comic. Although, with macron's tax breaks they are not that wrong...
