I used to look up to France for their ability to come together and rebel again against the unjust.
Can someone tell me what they’re doing over there?
Coming together and rebelling against the unjust.
To boil it down, billionaires stealing all the money.
Lmao Nah, at this point they're just wrecking shit for the fun of it
I’m not saying that it’s not happening. But from my comfortable viewing point it looks like Senseless violence. But my entire country looks like that from the right point of view
Not putting up with bullshit, that’s what they’re doing.
By looting?
This is always a disingenuous argument against protesting. There will always be opportunistic criminals that take advantage of these situations. It’s doesn’t take away the fact that protest and a national strike are the only actual power people have against the ruling class.
I’m not worried about Walmart losing money on looted TVs when cooperations are part of the problem and are run by the ruling class. If it’s a small business, hope your shits insured.
The only problem that most often it is the smaller stores that get looted because they can not afford the security measures of the large coorporations.
I would love to read statistics about this. Do you have any pointer I can read?
Criminal gangs do tend to take advantage of these situations and use it as cover. Same thing happened during the London riots.
