The french youth setting fire and looting innocent peoples businesses or the french youth that’s engaged in legal politics? If its the latter, why just the french youth?

How do the Americans on this website fall for this crap? Y'all will rage at the president lying about protests/riots but buy it fully if it's some other country's narrative.

Can you elaborate? Is it fake/exaggerated somehow?

France halts use of stun grenades after boy's hand blown off in student protests

French police accused over war-like injuries to teenagers in school protests

They want you talking about the looters so you aren't talking about the police violence, or what the protests are about. These protests were happening for weeks before the looting conversation took over. Yes the looting is happening but it's not what is important. It's red meat. Jingling keys. Add in nationalist racism/anti-immigration and we are now entirely off subject.

We just saw this at American colleges. Minneapolis. Stop believing the people telling you what is on fire, they want you scared, panicked, and unthinking.

Isn't it interesting that defending small business is suddenly the rally cry when, in all reality, we have spent ages discussing how no one patrons them enough. Nice to know people "care" when there is a narrative to push.

What narrative? Not wanting pure anarchy and actually defending that people respect the common persons livelihood?

2

u/GeoisGeo 11h ago

No, it's an attempt to degrade the reasons for the protest in the first place or do some not so subtle immigration rage baiting.

u/VikingLiking 11h ago

Nope, its a reflection of reality instead of hiding the truth behind the slogan ”the protest was for better living standards”. If its was for better living standards, why vandalize and loot whats building a better life for every french citizen?

The truth is that the vast majority of protestors weren't rioting.

This us how it always goes, thousands protests, a few riot, the few are used to dismiss the entire movement

Sure, but the rest of the protesters did zero to try and stop the looting. If you are in the same group, marching for the same cause, you get judged the same.
