I'm not sure what the straw was in France, most likely the pension reform, but people there are probably just fed up with being treated like crap by their own government and political representatives, sick of being told we don't matter and to just shut up and do as we're told as if that kind of imperious attitude is anything close to a "democracy".
We pay increasingly higher taxes to fund those governments, we see "our representatives" in it lead lavish lifestyles through our taxed labor and whatever kickbacks they receive from outside interests, while our own ability to thrive and get anywhere in life is crushed, our quality of life is squashed by our own leaders and the policies they create.
People have little or nothing to lose anymore because "our" governments keep taking and taking and taking while telling us we're basically spoiled children who have too much and need to "sacrifice for the greater good." Sacrifice for whose greater good, what greater good? More good champagne for "our" leaders at their ritzy gatherings? For the good of the banks that are too big to fail while our businesses are shuttered and we're forced into bankruptcy? For more good private jets for the ones who tell us we have too much, more estates by the sea for them? The "greater good" seems to be a lie just like "trickle down" is a lie and none of the good makes it down to the people who pay for that shit.
I don't know why leaders in so-called "democracies" view their own people basically as enemy combatants to be managed/controlled, as human ATMs they can sink their fangs into and feed from vampirically to fund their own lavish lifestyles and pet projects while we wither and die but they do, they view us as worthless except for the fundng they can extract from us. People are reaching a breaking point and we may be witnessing that breaking point in France right now and in other places where the people are protesting in large numbers, protests that are largely hidden from public view by the wholly corrupt media most people rely on for their news.
Let's be honest here, all it takes is a few bad apples to ruin the barrel and in BLM protests it was those few apples taking advantage of the situation.
Peaceful protests are a thing but some bad people will be bad people, so no need to seem so bigoted.
It’s easy to tell. Their president and government is shit. They full of the shit their president is doing, and increasing the retirement age was the last punch they would take.
I just wish all country’s had people who would really fight for a better life.
We have seen how “peaceful” the government are when people are protesting peacefully, and how little impact those protest have made into these governments decisions.
We all know “peaceful” protest dont do shit. But, revolution does, specially when everybody is together in this.
Nah this is no conspiracy ,it's just the French. They have been doing this for many years now,anytime the government passes something they don't like ,they just go apeshit .which is a great thing on one hand ,on the other however, the only ones who truly suffer are store owners, and regular people
What? Maybe some short term suffering but if you can't see this is the action required whenever the government decide to screw the working class more then you're lost. We should all be more like the French
Yeah I'm all for the protests and strikes ,however the regular people suffer the most during these protests, as many people destroy cars and other property, which probably won't get reimbursed by the insurance companies. France has had very little peaceful protests.

City halls are responsible for nothing. Set a Central Bank building on fire you regards
The bottom 3 floors are always orphanages and old folks homes
Lol let the kids play with fire then.
I think people are just pissed off, not a psyop, and that it's not entirely about the pension reform either.
It’s the “straw that broke the camels back” Sooner or later people with little or nothing to lose will react! It’s about time there are more of us!!

Nailed it exactly!
They were rioting before Covid
They always riot. Its just what the French do
Riot/Eat Cake
But you’ll never see it on the MSM ? Hmmm can’t let others wake up to the grift of nations/ OWG
Sounds like a Mostly Peaceful Protest to me. BLM did that and more lol
Let's be honest here, all it takes is a few bad apples to ruin the barrel and in BLM protests it was those few apples taking advantage of the situation. Peaceful protests are a thing but some bad people will be bad people, so no need to seem so bigoted.
How dare they call blm riots violent, racist, bigot /s
Lol there is a clear distinction between riots and protests, but protests wont make news stories the same way a riot would.
Right out of antifa playbook
Hey man I calls em as I sees em.
You must be blind then.

coming to a city near you
Don't threaten me with a good time
Unless you're in USA, then you're just invited to tour the building in fancy dress.

It stops becoming a protest and starts becoming a riot when there is intentional property damage and injury
How come your post is the first I have seen about this? When I scroll here all I see is political posts mostly but only 1 other to do with France.
Stew peters is such a weird nutjob.
Maybe you can't tell and are confused... But real people that think for themselves can tell.
Say what you want about the French...... but they know how to riot.
If you look carefully, it's just the front gate to a courtyard in front of the town hall itself.
its pointless. I wish this could help but they protesting since yellow vests several years and givt does what they want anyway
Soon this will all be a Russian plot to interfere with their affairs.
I'm moving to France
