cool macron MP talking about how the guy who lost his hand actually deserved it

"he was black block (antifa) not a peaceful protester, he only lost two fingers not the whole hand, he was attacking the national assembly"

Black bloc are cool as hell and I hope the guy still has his thumb so he can operate the guillotine on that reprehensible little liberal shithead MP.

So another fellow got his hand blown off today in front of the Assemblée Nationale

I feel like poo poo that I'm not marching today. My companion is really scared (she went to the demonstration on tuesday and got frightened by a crs charge) and she really really doesn't want me to go, but I feel like poo poo.

Someone please insult a cop for me today. Please.

I wasn’t far from that poor chap when it happened and I can tell you: don’t worry, we gave them hell. I’d have been scared for my life if I’d been wearing a uniform at that moment. They were like 10 stormtroopers vs an angry mob throwing bottles and wooden planks.

It was a really awesome day, the cops had no idea how to contain such a large crowd once we decided to go off the official path and do some « off-roading ». Not a single ATM or bank office was left intact in our wake. :ninja: That’s not an exaggeration, people were really freaking mad and cheering at the black blocs breaking poo poo down, singing anti capitalist slogans every time a bank office was vandalized.

We managed to steer the crowd toward Champs de Mars and Trocadéro with a couple of friends which completely hosed any chance the cops might have had to contain us. I had to leave there but it felt really good being a part of this. Lol at the media for selling their usual narrative of “this thing is losing steam, please look at these beautiful campaign meetings Macron is doing”.

I humbly offer my services as forum inquisitor. There is absolutely no way I would abuse this power in any way.


thanks for being there!

say, fellow french activists, if you’re interested in non-violent direct action and getting involved in environmental activism, a french offshoot of british group "extinction rebellion" has sprung up some months ago and seems to be gaining some momentum. check it out if you want! local chapters are starting to get organized, with local actions starting on march 26th.

there’s a website with a pretty solid forum. the next meeting of the ile de france local group is on monday 18th, pm me for more info if you’re curious (don’t bother if you’re a cop)

Minor fracture, but he's going to be unable to move his arm too much while it heals. (and he's going to sleep really well I assume!) And you're completely right about the intimidation tactics. For some dumb reason (my feet really hurt from walking and running all Saturday) I decided to pass a police checkpoint this Sunday rather than take a detour. They noticed my reinforced cap and started giving me poo poo about being some sort of criminal. I know I shouldn't have made that joke about cops playing whack-a-mole with us but my patience with them is running thin. That's when they threatened to take me to the station (meh) and escalated that to swatting me at 6 in the morning if I kept the attitude. (like, what :stare:) Guess I'll walk more next time.

I have no idea who he is but he's got some interesting ideas. (he's going to end up in prison in less than a month is my guess)
Personally I don't have any financial issues but if anyone here wants to support the people who fell victim to police brutality Eric Drouet set up a Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8bbQIfZxKg?fbclid=IwAR3EukCKoRZXnz8s8rirjF9ZXEbDJL5T0QHyVT51gzMtTepvkK9rZxLQ3fo

Please note that although the guy seems honest I have no guarantee whatsoever on how this money will be used.

We probably would but Macron is never putting that in his referendum because he knows he would lose. He even said so on television.

Other than here on C-SPAM, where is a good place to follow the protests in the news (in English)?

The articles I'm finding, even on leftist news aggregators like PopularResistance.org, are often still corporate and say "the French people are tired of these upstart protesters and just want to get back to lives of neoliberal debt servitude," etc, which from what I read here obviously isn't true.

Twitter is 100% the best place for an english speaking layman to follow along, after that it's the imageboards simply because they aggregate the evidence of the police brutality.

Don't look for any articles expecting The Real Scoop!, just get as much direct information you can.

I was asking because he met with one of our :italy: vice-PMs (causing a diplomatic incident lol), but outside of that, I can hardly find mention of him anywhere. He said that he has paramilitaries ready to overthrow the French government which I'm not sure if it sounds more like:
  • complete bullshit, or
  • a way to discredit the movement as crazy, or
  • a way to discredit the movement as dangerous
Either way, the press hasn't picked it up - the standard line, if you can believe it, is still that you guys are "protesting fuel taxes"

Read it as low-key/on the down-low :

"he is low-key making some forms of anti-semitism more acceptable than others"

i.e. : glorifying the leader of a Regime that went above and beyond Nazi Germany expectations in killing jews = it's ok because it's nationalistic and fascist, not just anti-semitism.
