Great job? They destroy and loot their own cities in name of “protest”. This is not a protest, this is shameless looting and destruction.

It is their cities and they do as they please.

Government needs to learn the good old classic…

Fuck around, find out.

Yeah they are really showing the government … I feel sorry for the innocent people that lost so much due to this “protest”. People’s cars burned down, family owned businesses had their shops looted and cannot make any money for the next couple of weeks, people relying on public infrastructure cannot use it.

You guys have the same talking points wherever you are.

  1. If you fk around trying to wind back social benefits to please like 5% of top incone receivers you FIND OUT when they break stuff.

  2. the vast MAJORITY of breaking stuff has been proven in the US to be right-winger provocateurs.

You are aware that the shops and infrastructure they are destroying have no influence on social security nor policy, right? You are also aware that most shops are family owned businesses that already struggle to make ends meet, and face similar issues as the people rioting? There are ways to protest and revolt against a government, that don’t include stealing or breaking public infrastructure. I don’t get why people think stealing is warranted when you tag protest on it.

Then maybe cops should stop killing innocent people and the government should not protect their paid murderers.

Why is the only possible solution aimed at the protestors and not the actual institutions that caused the protests to be necessary?

This WHOLE ENTIRE talking point, in effect, takes away from THE POINT OF THE PROTEST.

The points of the protest are the eroding of everyone’s quality of life because of an uppermost class AND THOSE WHO SUPPORT THEM

Don’t be such a pussy. You’ll let people step all over you if you’re afraid to fight back.

If you don’t want to be a pussy, fight the people who wronged you. Fighting bystenders and their property makes you a coward.

Ah the mighty keyboard warrior.

What you are basically implying is that you are a “pussy” when you don’t rob stores and destroy other peoples property? Don’t like the government, vote for something else, or start a party yourself. If we allow people that are mad about anything to simply start destroying things and stealing stuff, then we are far from a society I want to live in.

Imagine believing that voting changed anything. The only candidates who can win are the ones approved by the oligarchs.

Except the damage these pension changes will cause to these workers is likely trillions of euros over the next 60 years. Even if they did 100 billion in short term damages it would still be a better investment in the long term to prevent these changes as written’

    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
