⚡️ The recent French riots reflect the country's deep-rooted protest culture and the complex dynamics between law, dissent, and social change. Reminiscent of the Gilets Jaunes movement, these organized protests pose a risk of increased tensions. The government's response has faced criticism for inadequate engagement, fueling frustration and potentially worsening the situation. Peaceful resolution is urgently needed. #FrenchRiots #ProtestCulture #PeacefulResolution https://www.riskmap.com/incidents/1933717/articles/195092364/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Good god! Is Macron that idiotic that he has to trot out that old bugaboo about video games???

It really feels like a damn trial balloon on his part.

"Maybe I can sway public opinion to blame video games. No? Hmm... about Satan worshiping cults? No? Okay, let's blame it on roaming bands of emus."

Or maybe he's playing blame roulette I don't know.

🤦

The NPR article does a good job explaining why this is bullshit.

#FranceRiots: Could the country's far-right benefit?

>The National Rally (NR) still has a racist manifesto, says Sylvain Crepon, a political science lecturer at the University of Tours in central #France. "The party wants to end all #immigration from outside Europe, and is clearly opposed to the values of #integration and equality," he told DW. It was a fact so well known, Crepon believed, that the party no longer needed to mention it aloud.

The French Riots Are a Result of Miserable Conditions in French Society

Riots like the ones France is seeing after the police killing of a teenager don't happen as a result of petty criminality. They only happen as a result of widespread anger at murderous policing, racial inequality, and social deprivation.
