Heard some really strange version by Ukraine newsmakers about France protests supported by Russia FBI, but then would like to see your opinion on next subjects (especially if your from France and especially if you involved):
- Why on Earth Russia would want this? At least on personal level we want to have EU-2010 standards of life, science, culture. Why would we possibly want any problems for France?
Even if to consider crime and arrogant Russian government, which has little to do with people opinions, what benefits of destabilizing France?
- Why never mentioned even by yellow press, that protests seem to be connected with two subjects:
1) Macron proposed ‘European army’ without NATO (btw, great for Russia)
2) Macron wants euro as 'clear' dollar alternative
I.e. if someone is behind protests, then it even could be USA! And what is salt here, it's typical in modern news wars to accuse opposite side in things you do by yourself. Then mentioned above Ukraine source became reasonable: someone in USA used this tactics to "fake attack" first, so in case of USA roots found they were drown in similar topics.
Thing is, there are some conspiracy theories that Muammar Al Gathafi was hunt exactly for his plan to get rid of dollar.
But main question is, who are these people on the streets of France? Are they indeed just regular people?
Hi,
I'm from France, and I don't really know what they say about all this stuff in other countries, but I don't see why we need Russia to protest. Macron created a tax on gasoline, which made is angry.
People who protest are normal people, but there may be some who have hidden interests. 🤔
You don t need to be living in France to see it s a movement of the poor. Macron has brought this on himself: He has abolished tax for the rich and then he created a tax on gasoline to support very expensive electromobiles and hybrids. Well poor people don t have enough money to afford them and are naturally pretty angry that they will have to pay even more while the elites will get even richer thanks to Macron abolishing the above tax for the rich. Russia is not behind this they can t simply "hack" so many french people, besides about 70 % French people support yellow vests. Clown in chief from USA said that the demonstrants were chanting that they want Trump...lol poor delusional moron, USA is bigger problem than Russia.
The tax on gasoline/petrol isn't to curb global warming or support electromobiles. It's to put poor people off the road to ease congestion for those that can afford it. Taxes on petrol and VAT (in the UK) are a regressive tax. Poor people end up paying a higher share of their income than the rich. I don't think protesting is the answer though.
I can t wait to see what will happen now that Macron has finally come out from his fortress and made some promises. Personally I hope that there will be a new round of protests because I want to see the world burn.
"Promises" and "Politicians"
Oil & Water.
Pitchforks tend to be more useful than blunt objects.
I'm on-board with watching the world burn. (Disclaimer: ***Watching*** not participating. I enjoy being able to laugh and snicker at other people getting skewered by their own bad jokes.)
Protesting is pointless and is actually detrimental. Remember the "occupy wall street" protests. What did that achieve apart from more laws being passed to stop protests like that in the future?
At least France listens to their protesters... unlike the U.S...
That's already some interesting answers!
Tbh, I'm interested in this exactly because independent EU with personal currency and neutral army will remove great deal of tension between Russia and EU. If Ukraine was truly European, it would never genocide russian population in the first place and Crimea tension would never even appear. Now this tends to escalate to WW2.5, and USA definetly provoking and backing UKR goverment.
Another close to us subject are protests themselfes. We aren't really having culture of immediate response, therefore our 500000 protests in Moscow 2010s not just failed, but led to horrible future with kills of some opposition leaders, huge newly created structure to specifically beat and jail any street protests and mad amout of propoganda and even development of mass neural programming attempts. Additionally to jailing people for wrong opinions in the internet.
All this after Putin said with smile that he respect every opinion.
Back to subject, was hoping to see that Macron have decent support of population. Well, nothing close so far.
Im surprised there arent protests in every western country. The UK has politicians trying everything they can to not do what they were told because they want to stay in the EU. Canada has trudeau ruining anything he gets his hands on. France is likely going to surrender its permanent seat at the UN to the EU and apparently their officials are ok with this. Germany has merkel who has done irreparable damage to the entire continent. America allows companies or entities to bribe its officials into doing what they want. Australia falls further and further into chinas grip as time goes on.
These are just the first things that come to mind in a few countries. There are countless more.
