This France situation confuses me.
1. Why are young people rioting over pension reform that doesn't even affect them yet.
2. How does raising the retirement age from 62 to 64 even make that big of a difference?
3. Did any of these people stop and think that maybe the retirement age was raised because they couldn't AFFORD it?
This seems like a low IQ riot to me.
@Tfmonkey @basedbagel does rioting for the french people change anything? I dont see their gov backing down or caving in or anything they are still going full steam ahead with the great reset, infact even at a world wide view the globo homo is going backing down, they are planning on attacking russia in a few weeks according to redacted.
@37712 @basedbagel The evolution of force goes
peaceful protests > riots > civil war
When they ignore the first, you do the second. When they ignore the second, you do the third.
you get the government you tolerate.
@basedbagel Great questions. I like where your head's at.
@basedbagel the pension reform is not the real reason why the ppl are rioting, it was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Also, they have been rioting for far longer than that, it was just that the media wanted to ignore them untill they could not ignore it any longer.
@37712 Ah okay I knew something was fishy.
GODDAM the media lies about everything.
@basedbagel - Yeah... now that you mention it, maybe it is just a matter of the narrative.
Like: What's a reason for rioting, that help the media propagandists sell whatever point they're trying to sell?
Or, what's an acceptable reason to use political violence? and the media will present that as the reason for whatever is happening at any given time - because if there must be political violence that can't be ignored, then it must be enlisted into the leftist cause somehow... 🤔
Insightful 🍻
1. As for most of the Western world, welfare is a sacred cow: as long as you tap on taking pensions away or lower them, you'll rally both political sides against you.
2. We used to have retirement at 60 but was pushed to 62 in the early 2010s. It wasn't the first time.
3. Most people don't but for those who do understand the necessity of this reform, they also see the amount of money Macron sends to Ukraine, and most likely are behind the Anti-NATO protests.
@basedbagel
1 : because France, I don't think the young even know what they are rioting about.
2 : it does make a bit of a difference, French people do not save money for retirement, they are wholly dependent on governement in their old age.
3 : nobody is thinking straight. Everyone want more welfare and less taxes.
@Lorgar "French people do not save money for retirement"
Please tell me you're exaggerating.
Because if what you're saying is true that's INSANE.
@basedbagel You must be American. In France (and I suppose Europe in general) taxes DESTROY you. The money of people is in 2 things: their house and their pensions. The pensions are based on repartition. The workers in activity pay for the retirees. That’s why the taxes are so high and of course it makes everyone wholly dependent on the state.
@Lorgar Ah thank you for explaining that I had no idea.
@basedbagel Some people will capitalize a little bit (myself included of course) but in order to do that I had to put a third of my income living with the bare minimum for 10 years (between 20 and 30 years old) in order to achieve it. Thanks to that I have been able to untie myself from what can only be described as a giant spiderweb.
@basedbagel Most people are not willing to do that. They wake up in their thirties realizing they will be slaves for the rest of their lives and, worst of all, if you managed to free yourself from the system, they will resent you and call you an egoist.
@basedbagel
Today I am free and profiting from the inflation while the blue-pill normies slowly sink into an ocean of shit. I will shed no tears for them. They are nothing but parasites and now that the host is dying, they eat each other. Good, blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne!
@basedbagel I've been told that the riots are also anti Great Reset and anti WEF/NATO, but that the media is painting them with the same brush and declaring them "anti-pension reform" riots in order to suck the WEF/NATO cock harder.
