yeah let's make fun of the people who actually showed up and did anything.

no fucking wonder there's no unity on the left

[-] blartcap_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 4 days ago

Sneako is definitely not a leftist.

Doesn't happen nearly as often as it needs to, but.. Americans do protest like this. After 2020 everybody freaked out and voted to quintuple all the police budgets because Americans did this, actually. The problem is there's no solidarity when it happens, everyone trips over themselves to condemn the evil violence of harming the buildings and THEN looks at other countries like "why don't WE do this???"

Yeppp American protestors burned down police stations in 2020

[-] Raylon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Tbf it will be similar in France. These protests and the chaos that comes with it pretty much secure a victory for Le Pen in the coming elections. Damned if you do, damned if you don't (protest).

[-] LemmySuxNow@reddthat.com 7 points 3 days ago

How about we don't talk shit about protesters? Y'all complain nobody is protesting then make fun of people who are.

Sneako is a piece of shit.

Anyone who upvoted this is a moron.

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago

Or has no idea who the fuck Sneako is. First time I heard of him, dare I ask why exactly he's a piece of shit?

[-] JustPlainDave@lemmy.zip 25 points 4 days ago

Pals around with Andrew Tate and is part of the "manosphere".

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

That's enough for me to steer wide clear. Thanks, I genuinely hadn't heard of him before.

[-] CreativeAlias@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago

He also argued for lowering the age of consent, and supports child marriage.

Sneako, a known fascist glazer and misinformation distributor.

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 31 points 4 days ago

Why are we giving even a flitting moment of attention to the douchebag, known paedo excuser sneako?

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 30 points 4 days ago

TIL that literally only these people protested

You can do the same thing with looters in Europe

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Americans only make fun of the French because they don't know jack shit about history.

One of my favorite historical facts is how France mass-deleted Nazis after WWII. Literally.

[-] plant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 4 days ago

As long as you don't look into what the French were up to in Africa

[-] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

They didnt delete enough, apparently, because Le Pen is still here.

[-] UiUiUiUiUi@piefed.nl 2 points 3 days ago

Deleted? I thought the Nazis were human not data /s

No need to self sensor here, in fact the fediverse will attract annoying comments like this one if you do.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Fair point.

I'm a Youtuber so I suppose it's just become a habit. :)

[-] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago

Remember "Occupy Wall Street?" What happened to that?

[-] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

It was squashed by the Obama administration

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago

Is the French government literally slavering for an excuse to declare martial law to avoid the next election? President begging for a reason to start shooting political opponents?

Thanks for the terminally online pastime of making fun of people who actually went outside.

Well... Yes.
They're literally putting curfews in major cities, talking about social media black holes, and talking about banning the most popular leftist party from the next elections. Police are literally killing and maiming kids in the street as we speak.

Thanks for the terminally American pastime of thinking you're unique.

Edit: to the terminally dumb Americans downvoting, I suggest you look at what's happening in France. Not what your liberal media is talking about, but what is really happening.

Knowing macron probably. They're also currently cracking down in the manner you describe AND like the usa would be happy to invent a reason to if people didn't

Be the change you want to see in the world… I’ll wait

[-] Fredselfish@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

That's the fucking problem, you will wait....we need millions to do this if we have any chance. No matter how much destruction I would want to commit to make a change. But that is the problem. I am one man they quickly arrest ne and shut me down. Look what happen to Lugi. We needed millions of like mind individuals then maybe healthcare would been fired.

I love how the GOP is blaming immigrants, when it's just French culture.

[-] DonkeyStar@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

It is my understanding that the French Cha Cha Slide while exploding things.

[-] abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 4 days ago
[-] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

The left is not ready for a John Brown. Without an organized socialist party to capitalize on the revolutionary moment, an attempt at accelerationism will just result in a fascist crackdown.

John Brown’s attack on Harper’s Ferry kicked off the civil war because there was a strong and organized abolition movement that had a sympathetic federal government. The antifascist movement today is neither strong nor organized, nor does it have any sympathetic power holders.

What we actually need is a Lenin. Someone with the charisma and genius to organize the left and into a proper working class movement.

[-] OlPatchy2Eyes@slrpnk.net 4 points 4 days ago

Please don't hate me but are the riots in France working?

Late Stage Capitalism

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, anti-communism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
