⚡️ The recent French riots reflect the country's deep-rooted protest culture and the complex dynamics between law, dissent, and social change. Reminiscent of the Gilets Jaunes movement, these organized protests pose a risk of increased tensions. The government's response has faced criticism for inadequate engagement, fueling frustration and potentially worsening the situation. Peaceful resolution is urgently needed. #FrenchRiots #ProtestCulture #PeacefulResolution https://www.riskmap.com/incidents/1933717/articles/195092364/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

The roots of the French riots
The gap that we usually see in heavily policed states between the “violence-done-to-people-of-colour-by-cops” and “what-those-cops-have-to-say-about-it”, is steadily closing in France.

Good god! Is Macron that idiotic that he has to trot out that old bugaboo about video games???

It really feels like a damn trial balloon on his part.

"Maybe I can sway public opinion to blame video games. No? Hmm... about Satan worshiping cults? No? Okay, let's blame it on roaming bands of emus."

Or maybe he's playing blame roulette I don't know.

🤦

The NPR article does a good job explaining why this is bullshit.

#FranceRiots: Could the country's far-right benefit?

>The National Rally (NR) still has a racist manifesto, says Sylvain Crepon, a political science lecturer at the University of Tours in central #France. "The party wants to end all #immigration from outside Europe, and is clearly opposed to the values of #integration and equality," he told DW. It was a fact so well known, Crepon believed, that the party no longer needed to mention it aloud.

Macron’s authoritarianism sparks uprising
Macron once promised to turn the French State mechanism into a "start-up" State, and this is exactly what he delivers: an authoritarian entity that doesn't shy at murdering 17 year olds.

Ceux qui prétendaient autrefois combattre le #fascisme et ont appelé au #VoteBarrage depuis des décennies, sont bien ceux qui aujourd'hui soutiennent et/ou prennent les mesures autoritaires les + strictes et qui ont amené le chaos dans notre pays.

Je ne sais pas ce qui est pire : le fascisme déguisé ou l'autre, qui ne s'en cache pas.

Sounds like Macron and the French government are making the same damned mistakes that Trump and co made about the US uprisings over cop murders a few years ago.
“Video games?” Really?
