The BBC world report told me last night the protests were dead because Macron gave in to demands and this latest protest on saturday was just the last gasp of a dying movement.

I checked the "France" tag of our largest newspaper after they completely uncritically published that Macron speech (and even had a couple fluff columns about how important and above petty politics it was). There's literally only news about how police were attacked by protesters or how the turnout is declining from last week (with accompanying expert analysis concluding that such a confused directionless movement was doomed to die out on its own), going back to last year.

Not that I hadn't noticed a bias before, but these riots have been a real eye opener in terms of just how real and tight the media control is when it needs to be. I.e. when someone seriously challenges neoliberals.

Macron sayimg the protesters went too far on the champs elysees, almost killing people (i guess unlike the police who actually killed and maimed) and that they wanted to destroy the republic (lmao)
In the next tweet he says strong measures will be applied soon so that it doesnt ever happen again.

Will there be more acts, or was this the movement going out with a bang? Is Macron doubling down on "fighting fire with fire" or whatever going to engage more people or will they give up since no more concessions appear to be forthcoming? I'd hoped maybe this would spread as spring arrived, any chance it could pick up again as the weather gets better?

It sucks that seemingly nobody is reporting much on it. Social media appears to be a lot more ineffectual than I assumed. Watching you give them hell makes my day though.

The latest reviews of the Fouquet’s are out. :one:

quote:

Decent restaurant decorated in dark colors with a smoky smell, the heat was turned up way too high.
Food and service were both horrible, our plates were burnt up and there were no waiters so we had to get them ourselves. Good thing it was free but I still wouldn’t recommend the place.

quote:

I came for a drink this Saturday but there was some fire in the air. The place was too hot and the smoke burnt my eyes and throat. The meat was beyond overcooked. To top it off children shot rubber balls at us. Terrible experience.

You just have to take responsibility, I don't think anyone said anything about a crime.

Responsibility is code for criminal guilt. For example, in the US federal criminal system, "Acceptance of responsibility" is a mini sentence reduction for pleading guilty.
