French here.
If you want to help us counter this atrocious and fascist wave, you can share these two donation campains (or donate yourselves if you have the money).

This one is for the mother of Nahel:

And this one is for the justice fees for the ones currently protesting in our streets:

International support is important even it's only symbolic. This influences public opinion and media coverage.

Edit: 🖤 ❤️ Thank you all ✊🏼 👊🏼

@Radical_EgoCom If I may quibble, it’s not just « the two party system », but any electoral system. In most countries in the world there are different voting systems, with the possibility for other political parties to ascend, and the result is always the same, election after election : all those in power, whatever party they are in, always serve the ruling class.
(For many reasons, but mainly 1. massive and systemic corruption of politicians, and 2. the fact that politicians need the support of the media, owned by capitalists, to win elections.)

Even parties labeled as “radical left”, like Podemos in Spain or Syriza in Greece, continue to pursue the same policy as their predecessors, even though they denounced it when they were in opposition !

Elections are not democratic at all and do never give any power to the population. They just give the people the illusion that they have the power, to prevent them from revolting to take it. 😬

Here’s some perspective.

Americans:
•Cancel student debt!
•Cancel medical debt!
•Make insulin free!

Most of Developed World:
•What is student debt?
•What is medical debt?
•Insulin is already free!

What GOP calls “socialism”—even conservative parties in most developed nations call a “human right.”

Yeah, this is exactly why the narrative that Chinese Social Media (TikTok) is ruining kids minds is being pushed, it provides some kind of moral panic justification for why mental health in young kids is trash... and yah Im sure the current design of social media isn't great for teenagers but om... the reason teenagers are depressed is because they aren't fucking idiots? They can see the world they are inheriting?

Research shows that orphanage founders, tour companies and mission organizations often benefit most when the goal of serving vulnerable children is not accomplished.

Further, Western missionaries and volunteers are encouraged to behave toward “orphans” in ways that further increase their risk of abuse.

Here's more about what experts call the “orphan industrial complex”:
