Took some real short videos yesterday, this was close to the Arc de Triomphe :

and the same place about 10 minutes later

From what I watched of your video Flowers I think we must have crossed each other near quai d’Orsay. I ended up at the Champs-Élysées around 5pm when the pigs trapped a hundred of us in a small street, blocked both sides and gassed everyone in the middle with no way out causing mass panic and some people to faint. I’m claustrophobic and this poo poo seriously got to me so I called it a night there. They still kept us for more than an hour, checking bags and letting us leave by groups of 10 so we wouldn’t regroup further away.

Another fantastic highlight was getting shot inches from my face with a rubber projectile for doing nothing. Glad I didn’t lose an eye on that one like that poor 20yo girl that made the news. :(

Thanks for being there yesterday friend! I dunno how you crossed back to get to the Champs Élysées after that, I felt like the whole area between Trocadéro and Assemblée Nationale was blocked and didn’t feel like taking the metro to join another group in Passy or Châtelet, or even République.

Yeah I heard the same yesterday but when I accessed the Champs at Franklin Roosevelt they were posted at the edge of the garden, letting people in and out. To be honest it was a kinda crappy place to be so you were right to leave. They played ping pong with us up and down the avenue, they had this thing on full lockdown. Witnessed some heroic stuff though, like these guys holding up their banner to the cops faces in a cloud of teargas for minutes with no gas masks or proper equipment. Props to them.

Huh, looks like we might get ourselves some yellow jackets of our own.

Of course there's "Why are you people whining when we don't when we get less" resentment and "Actually we're super pro-cop and pro-authority, we are polite unlike those uppity entitled savages there" poo poo, I mean why would you even bother to check what the french ones are saying or even if something similar happened before or God Forbid, actually look at how the extremely high income people and industries were let from the whole Carbon tax ordeal. That would mean huuuh, doing effort other than "It's spontaneous on Facebook!11" and "lol why are you nerds using safety equipment"

how much would a non-ideological rando need to be paid to fake protest and potentially get injured, killed, or arrested? many thousands of euros i'd imagine. multiply that by tens of thousands of protesters, and the price tag is millions if not billions. a cost plopped on top of whatever other "active measures" in other NATO countries. yes indeed this seems like something that could be easily bankrolled by russia, a country with a gdp lower than texas.

loving centrists sneer at all the soros scaremongering from the right and then pull this bullshit. like how brokebrained does a person have to be to refuse to accept that people can be legitimately angry at their government?

COMMENCE THE RITE OF SHITPOSTING


I wonder if the US would be sending help to Macron if Hillary was president, moral or otherwise. Some of the biggest "radical centrist" people on twitter would have been in her cabinet if she had won. (Thinking of Neera here)

Silver lining on the Trump presidency I guess

Edit: Speak of the devil and he will reveal himself

That depends. How big is your "defense" budget?

The important thing is to be rich enough that you can outfit your police with "less than lethal" munitions on a mass scale. That way you can brutalize people to the point where you almost kill them, and don't produce any martyrs.

I like how centrists whining about this being a another Russian operation even though you don't a need a complex explanation or conspiracy for this.

Macron turned out to be a smug shithead after getting elected especially for how he enjoyed lecturing people like the unemployed about how they should get job.

i sadly don't know poo poo about french politics, but isn't the entire protest being about the fact that macron ended up being a giant douche who gives money to the rich, fucks up social programs and says racist poo poo while loving his schoolmarm. so far the yellow vests seems pretty cool and good and not fascists.

he was the eu's obama and every neoliberal trashcan is on record how great he was going to be, steamrollers could be mowing down yellow vets by the hundreds and you'd still hear poo poo like this
