So the police arenβt completely militarized yet, like here.

This doesn't seem very safe. I hope they're protesting for something good this time, and not against environmental protections like last time.
Oh fuck off. They were protesting environmental legislation that hurt regular working class people that contribute less than 1% to global warming. While the same government fucks were giving tax breaks to corporations and billionaires that contribute 99%. "THIS DOESN'T SEEM SAFE" ππππ Are you an American? I wouldn't be surprised you pro-pedophiles would be put off by revolutionary action.
Most Americans aren't pro pedo. They're just uninformed as shit. You would be too if you lived there.
Huh? I was being funny with the "safe" comment. Also, they weren't protesting tax breaks for billionaires, we're they? They were protesting environmental legislation.
I do sympathize with this moment, however.
They were protesting environmental legislation targeting the working class. It wasn't targeting the true polluters and it sure as hell wasn't going to curb climate change. The government tried to use the excuse of climate change as a way to tax the working class more. Let's be clear the neoliberal French government would never pass true environmental legislation because it would threaten business and elite interests!
Rising and unaffordable cost of living, education and underfunding thereof, amongst other things.
From what I heard, itβs multiple things coalescing into a singular movement at this point
Being under 60 in the world right now isn't safe. Embrace the chaos and forge your own future. You already know that the powers that be won't ever voluntarily give you what you deserve
Yeah the GJ are not good guys in my book.
The French are fucking legit. We need that energy in the US. I mean, it's much easier to organize and meet in city centers in France than in the US, but if you can get 2000 dedicated and coordinated people to split into groups of around 500 and cause chaos simultaneously in any large city you'll overwhelm the local police, national guard, whoever they decide to call in. Plus a group of organized patriots could easily disperse and blend back into the crowd if needed, then re-convene, regroup, and hit them where they ain't. I mean FFS there's a national guard armory a few miles from me with hummers, apc's, a few tanks, and all sorts of sweet military gear. At any given time there's probably 30 people or less on site guarding things, and they don't really wanna die. There's a single chain link fence with some cantina wire keeping people out. A car or a pair of bolt cutters will take care of that. You show up with a few hundred armed civilians, smoke the hell out of the place, cut power lines to the armory, and let them know they can either hand over the keys, disarm, and leave, or they'll be burned down with the building they're in.
Most military vehicles don't even have keys. If you get thru the fence and can open the door/hatch, it's yours.
