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.

I hear Macron is envious of Trump, with just a 25% approval rating
California, Washington State, Oregon.... just a few years from now.
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.

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.
Fireworks in French Parliament as the government's proposed legislation to extend vaccine passports and other covid restrictions was rejected by the Assembly
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.

Let's be frank: the flood of Muslim refugees into Europe has not been an unalloyed success.
It's not that all Muslims are incapable of integrating into Western cultures. Really, it's not.
It's just that a lot of them can't, especially when they emigrate from medieval societies and are dumped into the modern world. Their reaction is not to adjust to the culture around them; it's to demand the culture reflect their own values.
They emigrate from what Donald Trump inelegantly calls "shithole countries" and work to recreate the shithole conditions elsewhere.
The Telegraph (an excellent newspaper, by the way!) has a story today about a disturbing story that took place in France. A young Islamic girl who was inching toward integrating into her adopted country was severely beaten and put into a coma by classmates who considered her an apostate.
A 14-year-old girl was severely wounded and left in a coma after being beaten outside her school by three other teenagers over what, her mother suggested, could have been down to un-Islamic behaviour.
The French government has launched an investigation over the attack in the southern city of Montpelier, which has caused political uproar across the country.
It came days after the head teacher of a Parisian school resigned following death threats after she asked a student to remove her Muslim veil, sparking widespread outrage.
The victim, named as Samara, is now out of her coma but was “seriously wounded” in the attack on Tuesday afternoon outside the Arthur Rimbaud College in Montpellier. The school is in the La Mosson-La Paillade district, a low-income suburb with many residents of immigrant origin, prosecutors said.
