These protests show once again that if you believe western-media framing on anything, you’re a gullible fool. They are all just RT for liberalism.

Yes, some protesters did vandalize or use violence, but none of the arrested protesters made any political statements (according to a parisian prosecutor). They are just the usual crowd that looks for trouble no matter the protest. And, as this video demonstrates, at least part of the vandalism is done by the police itself.

The entire framing that the extreme left is causing havoc on the streets falls down the moment you take a closer look.

Add to this that the causes of the protests are basically never in the news. Never has the news opened every evening for a week with the fact that 7 million people in france can’t afford food (https://www.journaldeleconomie.fr/7-millions-de-francais-souffrent-de-la-faim/). No state of emergency, no speech by Macron, no police beating up the people responsible. It’s just accepted as is. What is a bigger violence: 7 million hungry people or one old building burning down?
