Macron can get a job on MSNBC/CNN/etc. screaming about the radical leftists that nearly guillotined him for being a getting things done pragmatist.

the centrist narrative is that innocent macron wanted to help combat climate change but the evil horseshoe both sides wouldn't let him

- protests for 2 hours then goes home
- politicians think they're being cheered on by an adoring crowd
- thinks that wearing pink hats will stop fascism

the chad france:

-immediately co-opted a nazi protest and removed all the nazis, then started breaking poo poo
-politicians are terrified and are offering increasingly socialist policies to save their skins
-are already setting up homemade guillotines

It's even worse. Go to the bbc news website and search for 'france' or 'french', they've literally scrubbed all the articles about it. If you narrow it down to 'french protests' there's one article from almost a week ago. poo poo is getting weird.

it's standard procedure for protests, plan A is discredit it, if that doesn't work then pretend it doesn't exist

What does nazism have to do with brexit?

the whole brexit movement was spearheaded by nigel farage, who is a nazi

but it's more that they're trying to focus blame on the EU(though the eu still loving sucks mind you) rather than macron

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.

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

the right have decided to start their own yellow vests here in canada, they are for extremely grassroots policies like not taxing corporations and more pipelines, it's also definitely not a front for white supremacy

looked up some reviews for the restaurant and lmao:

We ordered biscuits and gravy. The gravy was different but good. The biscuits were raw. We were able to scrape the outsides off but the rest of the biscuits weren't done at all. Raw dough. I told the waiter who said "okay" and walked off with the dishes to bring back the check. We weren't offered anything else or even a discount.

How're the riots in France going? Are the Fascists still at tense truce with Leftists against their shared enemy? I remember reading an interview with one of the leftist leaders and how they're willing to put up with the Right so long as they're not toxic about their own poo poo or undermining the cause. I can't find the site where the interview was on though.

the first thing leftists did was boot out the fascists and start breaking poo poo

the fascists are just scurrying around the outskirts putting up anti-eu and (((globalism))) flags

Bit too simplistic. This meme compass is genuinely closer to what's happening.



Right at the start it was boomer cons, immediately the left jumped in, then the right wing fascists jumped in. The broader left let them be but the antifash drove the fascist right to the outskirts. Then every fucker in France jumped in too. But just because the antifash left drove the fash right to the periphery, that doesn't mean that its left wing in anything beyond the very broad 'lets stick up for the common people' vibe.

There are avowed communists and avowed monarchists marching arm in arm it's nuts. It's people that are tired of having everything chosen for them and want to have the discussion for themselves again. Macron is hosed.

ah that's interesting, thank you

the important thing is that the fash are put in the corner for idiot babies where they belong
