Are you guys suggesting that if France had a zero tolerance immigration policy against Muslims, the riots against fuel costs and taxation would not be taking place?
I was just talking to a French guy who told me that the whole yellow vest protest thing in Paris is really about Macron's lying to get elected. He apparently promised to both reduce their "social security" taxes (the French version) and to maintain retirement benefits, but after getting elected, he reversed course on both of those promises.
So people are pretty pissed at him.
Looks like a bit of a mess right now.
Also looks like the Diverse "New French" Inhabitants of Paris are having a "Blast.

Nothing scares the Identity Politics Left quite like an actual working class uprising. Witnessing the furious unwashed masses operating out there on their own, with no decent human restraint whatsoever, Identity Politics Leftists feel a sudden overwhelming urge to analyze, categorize, organize, sanitize, and otherwise correct and control them. They can’t accept the fact that the actual, living, breathing working classes are messy, multiplicitous, inconsistent, and irreducible to any one ideology. Some of them are racists. Some are fascists. Others are communists, socialists, and anarchists. Many have no idea what they are, and don’t particularly care for any of these labels. This is what the actual working classes are … a big, contradictory collection of people who, in spite of all their differences, share one thing in common, that they are being screwed over by the ruling classes.

German cartoon from the 1930's depicting France in 100 years (2030):
The French government recently banned schools from using certain “gender-neutral” or “inclusive” language in schools, saying it would be destructive to the French language and would prevent people from learning it.
Some leftist groups, politicians, and teacher’s unions have attempted to change certain words, adding the midpoints in nouns and adjectives, and sometimes in verbs, in an attempt to make the language more feminine. By doing so, they claim that some traditional French words are too masculine and need feminization.
But a deputy education minister, Nathalie Elimas, on Thursday said that “gender-neutral” and “inclusive” writing in French is “a danger to our country” and will “sound the death knell for the use of French in the world,” reported The Associated Press. ...
The Epoch Times has contacted the French Ministry of Education for comment.
Earlier this year, French President Emanuel Macron warned that left-wing “social science theories entirely imported from the United States,” referring to “cancel culture” and leftist ideas about race and gender, is a threat to French society.
60 per cent of police and military say they will support populist Marine Le Pen in next year’s French presidential election, with the number even higher among active duty police.
Thing is, when they realize it's actually all about class, that points the arrow at themselves.
They would much rather imagine racism where very little exists. That lets them point the arrow at the stupid workers who they impoverished by forcing them to compete with impoverished people in other countries. And that get funding and enthusiastic cooperation from NPR and other mouthpieces for global capital. Just listen to who is funding NPR.
So it makes a lot of sense to stress "racism" when the alternative is blaming yourself.

Is there hope for France after all?
"Is that for real?"
Isn't France the country that shut down the yellow vest protest? If I remember correctly, they even shot people in the streets.
