    Reminder that the reason French police are not rioting over pension changes is because their pensions are explicitly exempted from the change. ACAB

    I don’t envy French voters, who will be forced to choose between Macron’s successor and Front National in the next election.

    Because presently it seems like Macron, the police, and young French muslims are cooperating in a concerted attempt to enflame the situation and help get Front National elected. And all while Europe is defacto at war, facing an existential threat in Ukraine.

    Lucky that Macron can’t run again, but it’d be nice if he didn’t run a key NATO member into the ground while blaming it all on video games.

    It’s behind a paywall for me. I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that calling the rioters “vermin” isn’t exactly going to calm the situation.
