If there's any truth to the media reports that the protests include members of the far right and the far left, would they not be beating each other up? My instinct is that it's mostly people on the far left confronting the cops and that the far right is sat at home taking credit online, but it seems impossible to find any coverage that confirms or denies this.

From what I saw the far right is indeed present but not nearly as ubiquitous as the 24h news media would have you believe. I personally don't mind their presence as long as they eat some flashballs for the rest of us (and keep their poo poo to themselves). They might not be fighting for the right reasons but at least they're fighting the right enemy.

Last I heard Marine le Pen had called for her supporters to not protest tomorrow btw. Not that they'd listen to her anyway...

afaik the left basically did that right out of the gate and now the make up is more or less what your instinct is saying

:shrug:

I can't imagine people protesting who are openly fash will have a good time of it but aside from that if you are just protesting against the gov't I doubt anyone is gonna like ideologically purity check you while the cops are firing tear gas.

it was originally supposed to be a far-right protest but the left co-opted it

the right has no loving idea about this and so are still taking credit, which the center is trying to use to discredit the protest

well that’s that then. today was far more subdued in paris, the cops were very efficient at preventing us from getting anywhere. not a lot of broken stuff, not even a torched car that I could see, a hastily built barricade made of Christmas trees failed to catch on fire, and i narrowly missed getting clubbed in the head during a cop charge in Les Halles. that’s where they managed to disperse our main group. I dunno if they reformed elsewhere but the rain made the experience not that fun

highlights include: a group of black evangelicals managing to interrupt our march by shouting in a megaphone "there’s only one thing that can help us! it’s a name, and that name is jesus!", booing the cops every time they showed up, extremely anticapitalist chants, and helping a shopkeeper get her wares inside, close her shop and then have her join us.

That's better than anything I did today which was a whole lot of walking under cold rain. Cops had everything locked up pretty tight, they even blocked buses coming to Paris:

It's not that simple. It's true that there were less people today but you have to account for the massive cop deployment and the tough weather. From what I saw around me, on social media and from discussing with people there everyone is still mighty pissed and nobody's buying Macron's BS. (see that :discourse: ratio on the post above)

I do believe it's time for us to find new ways to act though, we've become too predictable and easily countered as a result.

So in recent news, the police is planning a strike of its own this Thursday due to long brewing dissatisfaction and budget cuts.
(Apologies for linking Sputnik but all other articles were in French)

Reportedly Macron & friends are making GBS threads themselves that law enforcement might just drop them if this keeps on going. Note that the union leader for "Unité SGP Police" who was the first to speak up about this last saturday is this woman:

Also a reminder that he literally started his presidency by making GBS threads on the army (you know the thing that include the gendarmerie too).
