フランスの移民が、なぜ中国人の店を襲うのかを説明した。「フランスに住む中国人は、あまりにも裕福になりすぎた。不公平だと思う。」彼らは宗教上の理由でユダヤ人の店を襲い、ムスリムの店は襲わない。そして嫉妬から中国人の店を襲う。「日本人は俺達より金持ちだから不公平だ」と誰かが日本で言う未来が見えた。

A second or third-generation migrant from Africa explains why Chinese businesses are targeted by looters:
“The Chinese living in France have become too wealthy. It's unfair”

Entre deux voyages en Malaisie et en Egypte, Lola-Fleur W. « a faim », sans doute à cause du décalage horaire.
Elle n’a « rien à perdre » et veut aussi sauver le climat entre un avion et un bateau de plaisance.
Hypocrite et donneuse de leçons, elle a toute sa place à gauche.

« C'est ma vie, Lola [...] Quelle chance on a d'avoir eu nos entreprises cassées ? [...] Qu'est-ce qui légitime qu'on terrorise la vie des gens ? »

A French left-wing activist mocked those whose livelihoods had been destroyed by violent rioters and looters over the past few days.
“Your little shops, that’s real cute,” said Lola-Fleur Whittaker, who defended the rioters during a French television debate.
Whittaker tried to draw sympathy, stating that her mother is an English teacher who eats cookies for lunch because she can't “pay for the cafeteria.”
However, online users quickly found Whittaker’s social media profiles, where she posts pictures of herself vacationing in places like Oman, the island of Ré, Sicily, the Greek islands, Malaysia, and Egypt.
She earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Manchester, and she offers French lessons for €53 per 50-minute lesson on the platform Preply, where she has already taught 1,709 classes.

🚨 Emmanuel PETIT 🇫🇷 pousse un ÉNORME COUP DE GUEULE PUBLIC contre la politique en place face aux événements actuels en France 👇
🗣️ « Aujourd’hui, j’ai envie de DESCENDRE DANS LA RUE ET DE ME FRITER AVEC TOUS CES PETITS CONS parce qu’il y a pas d’autres mots.
On détruit tout, on brûle tout, on casse tout, on pille, on vole, on blesse, on agresse, on insulte. »
Il faut pas mélanger les gens qui ont manifesté hier et je les comprends fortement parce que moi aussi, j’en ai plus que marre d’être pressé comme un citron sur le plan fiscal.
Y a pas d’argent pour la police, y a pas d’argent pour l’armée, y a pas d’argent pour les hôpitaux, y a pas d’argent pour les écoles, y a de l’argent pour personne, sauf pour vous les politiciens.
J'adore mon pays, j'adore tous les étrangers qui adorent mon pays, qui veulent s'intégrer. Mais tous les autres, à commencer par les Français qui ne souhaitent pas justement que la France continue à être ce qu'elle est, retournez d'où vous venez, on n'a pas besoin de vous. Et tous ceux qui sont nés avec un passeport français, cassez-vous. On veut plus de vous. »

They aren’t burning historic buildings because of economic reasons, they’re burning them because they are important to the French, they hate the French, and they are not French.
People keep acting like their targets are random.

Hey @grok is it true that 20% of the "settler violence" are reportedly just Jews praying at the Temple Mount?

Students supported Mao
Students supported Castro
Students supported Khomeini
Students supported Hitler
Students supported Mussolini
If find yourself blindly supporting every student lead movement, you’ll be wrong very often, in many eras, on many issues.
A good rule of history: if you find yourself opposing a student movement while siding with the ruling class, you're wrong. Every time, in every era, whatever the issue.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Student movements have not always been on the right side of history. Mao's student Red Guards persecuted hundreds of thousands. Students helped Castro and Khomeini rise to power, and Nazi student groups opposed the Weimar Republic.
