France is probably the only country in the west where the ruling class is constantly reminded that they should be terrified of the people.

6th socialist republic when???

nah, they had forgotten they had to be afraid, they really thought protests meant nothing, and now that the crowd is somewhat agitated they have been brought back down to earth and their terror is hilarious to behold

From what I watched of your video Flowers I think we must have crossed each other near quai d’Orsay.

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.

Goonspeed Flowers, you will be fondly remembered! As for myself I'll be breathing teargas for fun tomorrow. :v:

same tbh. i’m supposed to meet up with a friend at some point but I have no idea how to find anyone in a crowd like this

anyway they didn’t lock us up (i think they didn’t want to bother with nonviolent activists), just moved us around a bit, then we’d sit down again and they’d drag us away again. the only thing that really wasn’t cool was when they pepper sprayed a group of us when we resisted a bit too much. but my arms and one of my legs are sore, must be where they grabbed us. when the demonstration ended, i just stood up again and went to work and now I’m doing my part weakening the state by posting from work instead of answering my emails

Biomute posted:

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.

somewhat, yeah
it’d be more accurate to say that there’s a large mass of yellow vests who don’t necessarily have a fully-formed coherent ideology aside from a few key policy points they’re agitating for. in fact many of them describe themselves as apolitical. among the policies some/many yellow vests support are such policies as a tightened control of immigration and the expulsion of undocumented immigrants. very few actually publicize these beliefs in the demonstrations themselves, and some/many disagree or have no opinion

my analysis is that this mass of gjs comes to the demonstrations but does not participate in the violence. they watch the fireworks, they chant macron démission and the marseillaise, they breathe in the gas, but they don’t really break stuff

then there are the leftists and anarchists who break stuff and fight the police. some rioters/looters also do it for the fun of it.

i haven’t really seen the far-right. i’ve heard some of them got beat up by antifa last saturday which makes me smile. on the internet, they claim an ideological proximity with the gjs but i’d be wary of their analysis. there’s also the fact that the media has selected a couple right-wingers as their favorite representatives of the movement and gets them on television, which tars the entire movement

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.

got any sevens posted:

THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
