I don’t agree with you, and I believe that this way of thinking is currently making a lot of bad things happen around the world. I hope one day you’ll change your point of view and instead of trying to have people confront you’ll hope they may work together.
Not really. Because “they” is quite unprecise here. It’s the same thing when policits are saying “people want this, people want that”. But people is composed by so many individuals and opinions that you can never say that “they want” something. I guess you can have a majority on some topics but if you’re not changing the way we vote currently I’m pretty sure we’ll never be able to have a 100% positive opinion on something.
I hope so but I must say I’m a bit pessimistic on the future of my country in terms of society. But we never now, maybe at some point some charismatic leader with good intentions will shine.
Anway, on a side note, thanks for your way to debate and listen to others. You have been hard downvoted on some of your comments even if they were courteous, but I wish our parliament could discuss topics the way you do it at some point.
There is currently a climate of defiance of our government in France. So I guess every little thing can just light everything up unfortunately. My other comment is more explicit on why we are in this context.
I guess the issue with that argument is that you only apply it to people destroying things. Though it can be reversed to our political class currently. It’s more insidious of course because they have “the law” with them as they make them. The main problem in France right now is not that we “have a long history of not being in line with our government and to destroy everything”, it’s that at this moment in time, the way politics are handled are very one sided. Our parliament is not listened and cannot vote on main topics (retirement is the main example but there was a dozen like this where government used the famous “49.3”).
So indeed, I agree with you, we won’t go far with violence, though it’s a bit biased to only speak of the degradation and violence of the street when it actually started by the one of our current government, and at the end, the main threat here is that the attention is all focused on the street degradation made by the people and not on the root cause of all this.
And I need to say it again to avoid misinterpretation : I’m in no way in agreement with any kind of violence.
PS : sorry if things are not crystal clear, I’m not a native english speaker.
We know what to do. But we do not do.
I don’t remember the movie it’s from, but that was hell of a movie!
Why do you want to advertise for Reddit protest on Lemmy ? I mean I understand if you want to protest because you want Reddit to stay as it is, but then why go on Lemmy to do that ? If you want to come to Lemmy that’s great, but with this kind of post it more looks like you are staying hère just waiting for Reddit to be black. No offense here, you do whatever you want, but I’m juste wondering why you would do this ?
Actually yes. I believe it would have been better to discuss instead of having a violent assaut from Russia.
But if you prefer War it’s your choice.
