at least germany has the right idea to counter a rising authoritarian right tide. still, i would expect AfD to do well in the former east germany, which is their base

meanwhile in italy, it'll rule if re-requiring mandatory MMR vaccines ends up being the first blow against the Lega/M5S coalition

To be fair though the French almost universally grow to hate their presidents very soon. Same happened with Sarkozy and Hollande.

But yeah, letting the common people pay for the environment when the biggest polluters contribute nothing is just evil. Protests have spread to Belgium as well, where gas and diesel are even more expensive. And it's not just about that, really. It taps into a common dissatisfaction with the ever-rising cost of living (at no discernable improvement of what you pay for, on the contrary, with e.g. power blackouts feared in Belgium for the winter) while wages stagnate and income inequality keeps rising.

The common tactic of right-wing blowhards is to try and change the public conversation by drumming up the old "b-b-but IMMIGRANTS and ISLAM" rhetoric, but somehow I feel many people see it for the ridiculous smokescreen it is.

this is the argument coming from china, india, etc, on why they need not make climate commitments w.r.t europe + north america industrializing first

seems that climate change is definitely going to happen if everyboody treats this as a zero sum game, and can't handle a measly economic disincentive

quote:

According to a Harris Interactive survey for RTL and M6, 72% of respondents still support the movement. For 90%, the government did not live up to the events.

The French support for "yellow vests" is still massive, while the finding on the personality of Emmanuel Macron is very severe. According to a Harris Interactive poll for RTL and M6, made after the events of Saturday, 72% support the movement of "yellow vests" despite the violence committed mainly in Paris. Support does not falter with a stable figure at 15-day intervals with the previous survey. However, the French equally disapprove of the use of violence. No less than 85% of French respondents share this sentiment. Supporters of "yellow vests" are not immune to this rejection of violent actions, 81% of them condemning.

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

Just the right event to get the violence disapproving public to side AGAINST the police. This could get messier.
