We were close once in 2011 during occupy wall street.
But suddenly the media started to report about HBQT rights and racism.
Funny thing was that we had a lot of gays and immigrants in our assemblys. And by the time they shut our camp down few gave a shit anymore.
Americans started doing this. Then we United for WW2.
We never started again because segregation and benefits for whites caused a massive rift in economic status.
Then the next large generation ended up in Vietnam.
The next one in Iraq.
Fair but then lets change that narrative. Start saying usa can do it and just maybe we will. Teachers have started, railworkers tried and will do it again. More and more are striking and thats the first step. Unions are starting and even ppl not in unions are supporting them. We may not have the best organization but that doesnt mean we all dont share a common thing to unite us.
Blockade the airport. France is the most popular country for tourists. I doubt tourists are having fun now, but there are still some villages that are probably nice to visit and are not on strike. You make it even more painful and watch the pensions return to normal.
Donât stop there though. Keep it up until resignation, I would not trust a leader that went around the legislative body to enact something this against the people.
I was in Paris and got back Tuesday. Honestly didnât notice even one protest. Theyâre confined to an area that my Uber driver pointed out. The garbage wasnât even noticeable to us New Yorkers. We hit traffic a couple of times but it didnât alter our trip in anyway. So while I support the message, I think reddit and the media are severely overestimating the impact the protests are having.
There are regulations around protests and we canât just set the entirety of Paris on fire :P
The protests are having a big impact, a whole lot of services are interrupted because of them (Uber drivers are not obviously, but public transportation is a real mess rn). Thankfully we donât need to entirely destroy the country to have an impact haha, the associations and syndicates organizing the protests know how to hurt the economy and the government
Most of the airports and trains stations in Paris were blocked so
\- You either ar elying, badly at that.
\- Was lucky enough to get your flight not canceled but had to embark by foot as people driving the busses to get to the planes were striking.
No, they werenât. We took the metro everywhere. My flight wasnât even delayed. We took an Uber to Orly and got there in 24 minutes. Youâre making this up because?
Youâre right tbh. Iâm Parisian and the protests arenât that impactful on the everyday life except for the trash tho?? I donât understand how you donât notice them
Work is done to stop fuel supply. It is estimated that shit would feel dire at the airport in two days, but workers are coerced by force by the police to go back to work in the refineries, using a legal loophole. We'll see how this turns out, refinery workers are supported by the rest of the protesters after all.
Whoooooo boy, things are really heating up over there. Say, thatâs a nice United States of America you got there, be a shame if something untoward were to occur due to a growing sense of discontentment among the popular masses that manufactured consent via corporate media was no longer able to misdirect or distract.
Yep! Mighty shame, bigly shame.
Because they can pour money into your political rivals, investigate you, soil your name. Why do you think Putin has so many puppets around the world ready to do his bidding?
I think if all money going into politicians was accounted for, every last penny, then we could see where these people's alliances were. It should be absolutely illegal for a person in service of the public to hide their finances.
And what if the people dictated their own lives and had dominion over their own lives until the exercising of their rights infringed on someone else's rights?

Macron: Because of the fiscal situation, cuts will be necessary.
Angry mob: Funny, we were thinking the same thing.
Macron: So you agree we should raise the retirement age?
Angry mob: Not those kind of cuts. You need a trim.
He wants a tax cut for the rich and therefore social expenditure will also have to be cut so that the budget remains balanced. This is literally the issue. Public officials are the first to say that the pensions system is under no sustainability threath.
This is what happens when politicians sell the people out. Now if the moronic maga would realize that they are being lied to by the same clowns that want to fleece the commoners in France, there could really be a grassroots upswell and these crooks would see the ground shake. Instead, they believe the deception and diversion.
The question is how it will end. For me, Macron is finished. The alternative is the far right. This is what the beginning of the end of the European Union looks like.
We might very well be watching the suicide of French democracy. How stable can a political system be when neoliberal politicians bent on waging war against the poor need the votes of the Left in order to get elected and keep the Far-Right at bay? The riot cop is the symbol of the Macron Era...
I'm not so sure she and the far right had passed most of the debate time to watch and said nothing of the center or insult the far left for creating violence so not the best move. Also her great position before was most of because young people weren't really invest in the elections which is changing right now most of them becoming more actives with the strike and strikers are mostly left and far left. But again i can't predict the futur --"
We can't do business with a lot of France because they demand 90 minute lunches 4 day work weeks, and 3 month summer vacations. No wonder they are in a state.
The fact you are spineless, unable to stand u for yourself, have no self-respect, enjoy being a submissive obedient masochistic because of some kind of Stockholm syndrome and so on is definitely not the flex you think it is buddy !! You're way too brainwashed and indoctrinated for your own good.
Yes burn down a city because people trust their government to provide a retirement plan instead of working dor it yourself.
This is what happens when you wnat daddy government to take care of you. People are so blind.
A retirement plan is something you work and put money in from your paycheck that you earned. If u r lucky your employer will add more. At the very least you have to give the company 20 years or more for a pension.....
You kinda can't see yourself. I must have missed a lot....
We don't. Billionaires pay very little in tax due to a number of exemptions. https://lvsl.fr/taxation-des-milliardaires-ces-5-arguments-faux-quon-ne-veut-plus-entendre/
Vive la France! Much respect from Germany, I love what you're doing. This is the only viable way in today's society to achieve any substantial change. Get inspired, people all over the world!
The french lead by example and we should all follow them! They are fighting for all of us and showing us how it is done and giving us a gameplan to follow when our time comes!
Good luck! I wish you all the best and may your efforts succeed!
So are the cops exempt from the retirement age increase??
To put it kindly, besides the personality differences to where many cops enjoy this kind of work, why are they not striking? Don't they have just as much to loose?
This is what happens when a law is forced upon the masses that they donât want and only benefits the rich. The same thing will occur in America if they force retirement age to 70
is it weird I love this? I know it's not moral or right to be out there burning buses or cars but fuck me I love seeing shit like this to remind us that we shouldn't be bending over for those .1% in power.
Youâre doing great France đŤđˇ get those greedy bastards to raise taxes on the ultra rich
right?, if only we weren't so divided in the USA
The division was manufactured unfortunately
Agree with you 100%. Divide them and have them fight each other so the 1% can keep stealing money from the poors.
Anyone coming by, go watch a bugs life. It'll speak to you. Hoppers a dipass

I took the metro everywhere. Iâm just saying it doesnât affect tourists at all.
I think that says more about New York than about France.
Um sure but my point was it doesnât affect tourists really in any way.
It was enough for King and Mrs fatfingers to cancel their trip lol.
Most of the airports and trains stations in Paris were blocked so \- You either ar elying, badly at that. \- Was lucky enough to get your flight not canceled but had to embark by foot as people driving the busses to get to the planes were striking.

Of course I noticed. It just wasnât very impactful.
I love the French countryside
Work is done to stop fuel supply. It is estimated that shit would feel dire at the airport in two days, but workers are coerced by force by the police to go back to work in the refineries, using a legal loophole. We'll see how this turns out, refinery workers are supported by the rest of the protesters after all.
God I wish my country would react half this passionately to the bs the government pulls. We're a bunch of complacent, apathetic twats.
You Canadian too? Or is this just really common
No, I'm Canadian :/
Dw, one of these days we'll actually stand up for ourselves. And when that day comes, the gov will probably be caught with their Dong in their Han
Poor Han
Google Revolution Party Canada
I figured america like me lol
Americans actively work against their own best interests. Canadians just let someone else make the decisions for them.
I don't know about the Canadian part but u r right about Americans so I will take your word for it. Both suck
Imagine Macron saying that they are subjugation the people in the name of the same people. Oh wait
GOOD KEEP FUCKING GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
France is fucking savage đđđ
Whoooooo boy, things are really heating up over there.

Seems like the safer play to shore up retirement funding would have been to tax the rich
Although the rich would probably end your political career.
Why are the rich determining your political career?
Because they can pour money into your political rivals, investigate you, soil your name. Why do you think Putin has so many puppets around the world ready to do his bidding?
Do you think if Putin was...deposed, that this shit would end or at least subside? We have too few rich people dictating the lives of so many.
I think if all money going into politicians was accounted for, every last penny, then we could see where these people's alliances were. It should be absolutely illegal for a person in service of the public to hide their finances. And what if the people dictated their own lives and had dominion over their own lives until the exercising of their rights infringed on someone else's rights?
Keep going, France!
Remember when Macron said that French citizens don't have the right to self defense? Wonder how he feels about that now.

Good
Good!!! Viva la France!!!!!
Vive la France!

Im not a religious person, but God bless the fucking French!!! - AN INSPIRED aMERICAN
Well he macaroon can control it, by simply repealing a law he wrote without any vote or parliamentary approval.
Iâd really like to move to France now
Yep. US should follow suit when they try and do the same here.
We didn't start the fire\~
The French people reelected this man. They knew how horrible he was.....
>They knew how horrible he was..... They knew how even more horrible the alternative was...
Well we will never know that but Macron has been absolutely horrible. They have reaped what they sowed.
His rival was a literal Fascist. They had to choose the bread for a shit sandwich.
Looks like that got the fascist shit sandwich to me
Spread over to the US. We need some of that rage!
It is illogical to give people the option to burn it all down and start over when their country was literally founded that way.
We should try this in Canada.
The question is how it will end. For me, Macron is finished. The alternative is the far right. This is what the beginning of the end of the European Union looks like.
We might very well be watching the suicide of French democracy. How stable can a political system be when neoliberal politicians bent on waging war against the poor need the votes of the Left in order to get elected and keep the Far-Right at bay? The riot cop is the symbol of the Macron Era...
Well, clearly people arent liking macrons rule. Lepen is prob laughing real hard right now
I'm not so sure she and the far right had passed most of the debate time to watch and said nothing of the center or insult the far left for creating violence so not the best move. Also her great position before was most of because young people weren't really invest in the elections which is changing right now most of them becoming more actives with the strike and strikers are mostly left and far left.

Why does it have to be far right? Why are these the only options presented? Is no one else allowed to run?
We can't do business with a lot of France because they demand 90 minute lunches 4 day work weeks, and 3 month summer vacations. No wonder they are in a state.
The fact you are spineless, unable to stand u for yourself, have no self-respect, enjoy being a submissive obedient masochistic because of some kind of Stockholm syndrome and so on is definitely not the flex you think it is buddy !! You're way too brainwashed and indoctrinated for your own good.
Not sure what youâre on, in France itâs 30 days (not 3 months) of PTO and 5 days work weeks.
So their lives would be better if they worked more? Also, you are embellishing quite a bit.
Yes burn down a city because people trust their government to provide a retirement plan instead of working dor it yourself. This is what happens when you wnat daddy government to take care of you. People are so blind.
These people did work for their retirement you fucking twat.
A retirement plan is something you work and put money in from your paycheck that you earned. If u r lucky your employer will add more. At the very least you have to give the company 20 years or more for a pension..... You kinda can't see yourself. I must have missed a lot....
Go people of France! Burn it all down!
Ffs the solution in France, Canada and the US is tax the rich but they just.wonât.fucking.doit!
We already tax the rich a whole lot, there are other solutions aside from what theyâre doing with the retirements though.
We don't. Billionaires pay very little in tax due to a number of exemptions. https://lvsl.fr/taxation-des-milliardaires-ces-5-arguments-faux-quon-ne-veut-plus-entendre/
What have you done Macaroni?
Viva la France!!
Yeh, escape from new York - French edition xD
God I love civil unrest
Vive la France! Much respect from Germany, I love what you're doing. This is the only viable way in today's society to achieve any substantial change. Get inspired, people all over the world!
They either fight this now or work 2 more years! Easiest choice ever!ââââ
The french lead by example and we should all follow them! They are fighting for all of us and showing us how it is done and giving us a gameplan to follow when our time comes! Good luck! I wish you all the best and may your efforts succeed!
Macron and his 1 % buddies are holed up in a corner they created for others.
Is there any looting going on over there?
Fuckâem, keep going
So are the cops exempt from the retirement age increase?? To put it kindly, besides the personality differences to where many cops enjoy this kind of work, why are they not striking? Don't they have just as much to loose?
This is what happens when a law is forced upon the masses that they donât want and only benefits the rich. The same thing will occur in America if they force retirement age to 70
is it weird I love this? I know it's not moral or right to be out there burning buses or cars but fuck me I love seeing shit like this to remind us that we shouldn't be bending over for those .1% in power.
UNIONS! FOR EVERYONE WONDERING WHY AMERICANS DON'T DO THIS, WE DON'T HAVE UNIONS LIKE FRANCE.
Vive La France.
I wonder how long it will take the police to realise its going to affect them too........
