Anti-enviromentalists are rioting in paris again (live)

[XangXu]

You know I used to think that America was pretty bad but over the past few days, french people have proven me wrong.

The tax is to help prevent the apocalypse by the way. Just throwing that out there.

[Aggrophobic]

Stupid people doing stupid stuff.
It's intresting to think about how far we would have come if the majority of our species would be able to think. Sadly, I doub't we'll get here.

[Jshadowhunter]

This isn't JUST about the environment anymore. It's a literal French Revolution 2.0 in progress and nobody else but is to blame Macaron for pushing things to this point.
(I know the feeling because my country could use some anti-EU globalist revolution right now)



He'll be lucky if he doesn't go the way of Louis XVI.

Everyone supports environmentslism, until the government forces you to do your part by degrading your life standard.

Let me guess, you live in a country that siphons wellfare funds from EU like a leech and you want to enjoy all the benefits of being in trade union but accept no responsibilities?

Shouldn’t matter. The question you should be asking yourself is “Am I part of the human species? Y/N?”

If the answer is yes, then you should stfu and maybe dwell in regret over all that plastic you shit out onto your life sustaining planet.

I have never owned a car. Ever. People need to get fucking serious.

What the fuck do you think scientests mean when they say “change of lifestyle”? Fucking less plush toilet paper? Less packaging on your favorite goods?

Wake the fuck up.

That is not what these protests are about, it's only a fraction of it.

Like others have already said, Macron did not fall to a 18 - 20% approval rating by just upping the tax on fuel.

[HumbleDuck]

Well, that's sad. To be honest I'm not French and have never been to France, but as an outsider, it looks like France administration is one of the few remaining sane ones.
Also I can't help it but feel like misinformation played a big roll in this uprising.

Ps. Don't ever cite a link from RT.

[Fonduset]

Cost of living in France is quite high isn't it? I'd rather save money on fuel so I can live better now over changing to paper bags and riding the bus everywhere

Edit.- don't say "wake the fuck up". You sound like a conspiracy theorist. People are fully aware and just dont care.

[Jshadowhunter]

Benefits that only go to politicians of the current ruling party (they're a coalition called "Victorious Losers" because except for the runner-up who's leading them, none had more than 8% in the polls, while the 2nd only had half the votes of the actual victor) because, who are a bunch of Brussels yes-men, making us a puppet state, especially with the Marakeesh Decleration, where the people are extremely against it yet they're making excuses it's "for our own good".
Yugoslavia may be dead, but socialism still exists and there are some faqn retards who want to return back to "golden era".

Thats how things are, sorry.

People will get pretty mad by having their life standards degraded, while the elites will keep their luxury life style, and their massives carbon footprints.

[Dastreus]

The Tax isn't some pro-environmental thing. It hits those living outside of city limits way too hard. Better environmentalism isn't punitive, but investing more in green energy and green energy jobs. Open some government solar paneling efforts, for example.

Says the guy who lives in the EU leeching off American defense for 70 years.

The cost of living in France is gigantic, I have been reading up on it as an outsider of what is happening over there.

Apparently the median income is around 30,000 dollars (Gross per capita 12,000). Where I live the government claims it's around 35,000 dollars and even people who earn that much (because realistically almost no one earns this) are having troubles paying for everything and are taxed beyond anything.

These people are angry, fed up and outright done with the incompetence of their government literally punishing the middle and lower class with ever increasing costs of living and to be fair, an ever lower standard of living for higher costs.

[Vatrilian]

I thought the left told us that all protesters are sacred until they are protesting the fraud that is Global warming. How is it the only way to solve the crisis of so called global warming is socialism?

- - - Updated - - -

The official NASA global temperature data and noticed something surprising. From February 2016 to February 2018, "global average temperatures dropped by 0.56 degrees Celsius." That, he notes, is the biggest two-year drop in the past century. It is a fraud the main engine that drives climate change on our planet is not CO2 but the Sun. The big burning thing in the sky that is conducting fusion is what drives the climate not a trace gas.

Heh touché, it is an amusing fact that the west European welfare state was built due to US defence welfare.

[PaladinBash]

Lol "anti-environmentalist rioting" is hilarious. 'Protest' this, 'protest' that every time the commies want to push something but the second someone protests ridiculous leftist shit, it's dangerous right-wing extremist Nazi rioting tryna take over the world.

[AkundaMrdal]

Pretty much this, and as always, these taxes hit mostly poor people on the countryiside who needs car to get to the job. And idiots wonder why people protest.

[grexly75]

Gotta love how the OP latches onto and blaming just one thing and not doing any research into what started all of this to begin with.. There were a myriad of issues that were growing and compounding just waiting to explode in civil unrest, and unfortunately it was the fuel tax on diesel that was the final straw that broke the camels back to to speak that sparked the riots..

Apocalypse? You are sleeping and brainwashed. Read some actual literature that has not conflict of interest in its financing (although as we have come to understand with the Monsanto glyphosate fiasco, even that could just mean that “independent” scientists are paid off).

Also, it is very very difficult to separate politics from science nowadays. Science on-demand is dictating people, but it has nothing to do with reality. Global warming is a hoax and this stupid narrative only serves as a gatekeeper so the “1%” will not get new members too fast. Eugenics, depopulation and “being worthy” have been fixations so prevalent among the elite since forever. And you are being programmed by movies like Avengers (Endgame sequel coming next year), X-Men (Dark Phoenix coming in 2019, which is a synonym for Antichrist, the Beast), Avatar (sequels coming in 2020, which also have the phoenix as its (placeholder?) logo), etc. Also the series American Horror Story is ingenious, because they can just throw their sickest fantasies in your face and you just think they are all fiction, nothing else.

Anyway, truth is a lonely warrior and people need to start reading and researching a LOT more. A good starting point would be the history of the UN, NATO, CIA, the EU, the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, shunned monographies about the greatest wars etc.

Don’t just simply believe what the news tell you, read for yourself and think for yourself. Unfortunately people usually tell they don’t have time and people who do, are told that they are paranoid conspiracy theorists. This has been like that since at least ancient Rome. It is quite something.

But no, apocalypse is a lie, global warming is a lie, we don’t need depopulation, etc. We need to get rid of poverty around the world (which would only increase with this aberration that is carbon tax).


Also, very glad the French have not stopped being French! Other nations should learn from them.
