  1. Paris France it's very intchrestring pipel

  2. Violence the government’s favourite 😂

  3. The French don't eat cake. They don't play that…

  4. People want to lower taxes and entitle for more benefits at the same time. Anyone who can make this happens will win the Nobel prize.

  5. Starting the civil war……………..France……. to keep your retirement right on your hands

  6. Raise age or pension retirement go broke

  7. This is why they keep us Americans divided, united, we are quiet the rowdy bunch☺️

  8. Trudeau made the mistake of talking wrongly to the Chinese leaders in a time where Europe needs to stay together. Combined that with disrespect for his own people creates this. He needs to stop, say sorry and hope that the protesters will listen. Then maybe step down.

  9. It's so terrible. Why don't police think about their actions. They're just following crazily stupid orders.

  10. A minority riots , principally black blocs ( 1k or 2k in paris each time) and people extremly politicized. 99 % of demonstrators are calm. The unionists are very pro and organized.

    Social medias deform reality showing only rioters but not normal poeple demonstrating peacefully.

  11. Always blaming the People pointing finger at them. Blame government instead

  12. “The people shouldn’t be afraid of the government. The government should be afraid of the people.”

  13. "PANAMA RELOCATION TOURS!! WITH JACKIE 🙋 😊 👍❤️👈"

  14. Common guys, don't be so lazy. Who will pay your expenses post retirement. This is the right move as human lifespan is increasing every decade… time to increase retirement age

  15. Spread the army down the streets.

  16. When a government makes a decision on behalf of the people. But the people disagree and have to protest.

    And…

    Then the government sends out riot police to try and subdue the protests, or make proptestors seem bad by escalating the protests into voilence by using voilence.

    You have to wonder what the governments motives are. And given a democracy is a government elected to serve the people.

    I wonder what the French government's intentions are and more importantly, how they view the public they've been elected in to serve.

  17. Here in the state retirement is 67 yo and they want to raise it to 70 yo and Americans have no complaints lol

  18. Very sad 😔 let's hope for the best let's bring harmony and stay blessed

  19. As the climate heads into greater extremes globally, how can we best deal with future climate crises?
    The short answer is that we cannot deal with them unless we take care of nature's inner balance.
    We live in a tightly-closed and interdependent system in which everything boomerangs back to us. While living in such a system, we need to reconsider what we want and think, and how we treat each other, because our human connections are the primary influence on how nature responds to us.
    It is common to think that climate is dependent on factors outside of us—whether it be balances between heat and cold in the environment, or the effects of various kinds of pollution we emit—because we lack a complete picture of how our attitudes to each other bring about the strongest responses from nature toward us.
    No creature distorts nature the way that we people do. And it is not simply a matter of switching to renewable energy sources, electric cars and the like; it is a matter of how we relate to each other.
    If we truly wish to witness more balance throughout nature and not have to deal with all kinds of cold waves and other natural disasters, then similarly to how we have electricity, water and gas meters in our homes, we should also have meters that count how much evil we emit into the world from our negative attitudes to each other. What I mean is that if we could feel the extent to which we emit negative forces into the world, which negatively ricochet back to us, then we would wish to change this negative driver within us. We would want to switch it to a drive that makes our human connections positive, and which harmonizes us with nature.
    In simple terms, when we get up in the morning, we should first and foremost consider what we need to do in order for all people to have it good. Developing such an attitude is not so simple, yet we will need to seriously work on it as we head into the future. A life of increasing blows from nature or a life of peace and harmony depends on the extent to which we impact a shift in our attitudes to each other—from negative to positive.

  20. Yet ABC doesn't mention a protestor lost a hand from a stun grenade…

  21. Talk about inslaving your people. Cruelty by Macron.

  22. Looks like Macron is about as despised as Justin Trudeau! These criminal left wing tyrants always go to war against protesters instead of admitting they f**ked up!!!

  23. The French are terrible the way they go about with their protest in UK they have protest but not violent

  24. Our western media outlets cover France more than they covered our own burning cities a few years ago.

    You guys remember, all those mostly peaceful protests..

  25. The U.S. raised our retirement age to 67 this year….crickets.🦗🦗🦗

  26. Not about a 2 year pension raise? Fr?

  27. Weak and corrupt journalism, those poor bloody police, what a joke, the protesters fight for their rights and their children’s rights as well, they should turn their batons on the politicians

  28. Can we just get the footage without the reader? We all know what is going on already.

  29. And the say Balck people are Violet👌🏿

  30. Peaceful protests are a waste of time.
    Violent protests will make the rich even more paranoid of us, and they will brutally double-down their oppression on the innocent like the egyptian task-masters did after Moses killed the slaver.

    The only path is accelerationism. Just my two cents. I picture it like an immune system. Speed up the process, let the disease run its course, until it burns itself out.

    The machine of oppressive capitalism is already melting its own gears. We can help speed it along the way, by buying more stuff, investing in more stocks, working harder at our jobs, and making billionaires more obscenely wealthy to the point this whole system eats itself alive and gives birth to something new.

  31. We are alway educated to be passive. No where in history has this brought in change. The French priminster actions are unacceptable all dictatorships around the world must be removed at all cost otherwise there will be more Putin's in the world. They all view the police as their own personal army Well done to the protestors you are now dealing with Putin's mate and he must go!!!

  32. Respekt from Kroatia. A.C.A.B.

  33. Retards and fighting. Should of done thst in the 40s when it matterd. Instead of getting your good women to clean up. "Cheese eatting surrender monkies"

  34. Don’t back down Frenchie, 64 now, and soon 70.

  35. THE U.S. BORDER IS GOING TO BE IN MORE CHAOS IN A FEW DAYS THANKS TO BIDEN, WRAY, BLINKEN, MAYORKAS AND THE DERELICT ABC MINION MUIR.

  36. In my country, in 2002, the pensionable age was raised from 60 to 65. I think the French protest too much.

  37. 0:57 : the officers are hit by their own grenade thrown by another officer behind. Please get the facts checked.

  38. Mostly peacefull protests in Paris

  39. Well. If you don't respond to nonviolent protests, I wonder what happens?
    France is just the first. Hardly the only country heading down this path.

  40. Why are they fighting amongst themselves over a lousy of a tyrant of a Macron? It's so crazyyyy!!!

  41. GET BACK TO WORK!
    IT SHOULD BE 70
