French government should stop oppression on protesters
@@michaelmontana251Imported2wk ago
Europe is in trouble. So, let's strangle innovation with regulations, climate hysteria, and socialism. Then destoy social cohesion by importing millions of Africans and muslims. Borrow to buy votes, spiking government debt and interest rates.<br>What could go wrong?<br>Try to stop the riots, downplay terrorist attacks, and keep the cathedrals and museums from burning so US and Chinese tourists might show up. Prepare to age, shrink, and decline without European children.

"Perception that perhaps the economic burden is perhaps distributed unfairly" French Media needs to speak as though they exist in reality, or the French people will have the "perception" that they do not. Also there are answers to these problems, we know the sources of conflict. Who are these talking heads?

At least they don't massacre the protesters as they did in Iran

How about re-regulating banks & corporations so that they're unable to continue looting the public? That's a pretty simple solution: not "easy, "perhaps, but clear as glass!!!
@@alitani5045Imported2wk ago
The government of the west failed their citizens in curbing the cost of living and are bussy giving billions to ukraine<br>While voters can't afford the basics, this should be a wake up call to french government to bring prices down and help about their citizens
@@jonnash5196Imported2wk ago
Even if the protests are is they say mostly peaceful, it's time for the protest to stop. Maybe a bunch of these protesters should volunteer to go out there and pick up all the trash after the protests and started a fun to pay the people who have lost businesses and property

Wait, I thought they had some kind of superior lifestyle - especially compared to the US! I guess not. But but..the walkable cities and “superior” food!!
@@notyaaverageuserImported2wk ago
Before you blame youth and immigrants think about why people cant have stable jobs or afford homes or have children while others have yachts, jets, mansions,5 kids, 30 cars and yet they pay less as a% of their income than ordinary people and as soon as you try to tax them and redistribute wealth to the jobless poor and the working poor they leave and call you a radical.People tried protesting peacefully-nobody listened , in fact it got worse.

have they declared a state of emergency in France ? If they haven't I do believe it's time to . Stop all protests until things quiet down

This is the consequence of their participation in funding American attacks against Iran—using money that should have been allocated for the welfare of the people, but was instead spent to finance war—leading to a surge in the prices of goods worldwide.

@@ewchiar27Imported2wk ago
I have noticed the reporters stressing that the protests are mainly peaceful 🤔 Also, the guest putting forward that the French government cannot do anything to address the issues raised? How about rejecting globalization that makes the nation so dependent, cut foreign aid, maybe secure your borders??

I thought mass immigration was about making Europe richer in the face of declining birthrates and too many elderly people?

French media going full CNN while their country burns to the ground.
@@samdenton821Imported2wk ago
Slightly ironic to have a guy saying there is nothing the government can do to placate the protestors, while a sign behind him says 'Tax the rich'. It's obvious that the French government, like most governments, should be doing a better job of taxing those who can afford it to cover the expenses of the society that made them rich. It is not that complicated.
@@ThomasAquinas-y9pImported2wk ago
French reporters are not just delusional but are showing severe signs of emotional Stockholm syndrome , by calling this riot “ mostly peaceful “ which is also known as “CNN Syndrome“ or that the “violence is a cause for affordability/cost of living”,and focusing their reporting on “Police Violence” instead of the Rioters Violence

Police started with tear gas in the morning before any protests started. The police are inciting violence
@@michaelwilson9921Imported2wk ago
What an irony, eh? France supported the young in rising up to violently overthrow the democratically elected president of Ukraine. Now the French are rising up to overthrow their own leaders because of the results of the war resulting from that. What goes around comes around!

@@dmode1535Imported2wk ago
France’s wealth was built on African resources, not its own. For decades, French affluence has been maintained through the exploitation of Africa's wealth. Now that African nations are reclaiming their economic independence and growing rapidly, France faces a future of significant economic decline. France will become a third world country.

@@herlandercarvalhoImported2wk ago
People all around the world are feeling increasingly poor. Everything gets more expensive, while salaries remain the same. We are living in a new gilded age, where some have obscene amounts of wealth, while the middle class is disappearing, and people are struggling. Humans need to revolt at a global scale against this neoliberal late stage capitalism, that keeps milking citizens as much as they possibly can.
