I'd like to ask you a quick question about a series of recent events. E, at first, It's about the fire of Notre-Dame de Paris.
“The Madonna in flames, hit in the choir, it is the very image of Christianity today. What else can we say that hasn't already been said? I think of Dominique Venner and re-read Péguy”.
The end of the "great debate" and Emmanuel Macron's press conference, which does not seem to convince two out of three French people?
“The head of state was wrong to mistake the French for the mougeons (half sheep and half pigeons). Micron, resignation!”.
The yellow vest movement, is regularly described as “running out of steam” and generating “unacceptable violence”. What do you think??
A peaceful movement, “good-natured” would not have gotten a tenth of what the yellow vests got, even though none of their essential demands have been met yet. Violence (I don't mean that of professional "casseurs".) sometimes it's the only way to be heard. 14 July 1789, The storming of the Bastille was no walk in the park! Review Georges Sorel's reflections on violence. In any case, this popular violence is little comparable to the systemic violence of white-collar predators, identity killers, of social destroyers and masters of profit. As for the worries of the yellow jackets, it's about, at best, of a break before the next battles. Throughout Europe, the middle classes are disappearing and people are bearing the consequences of austerity policies. In our hourglass-shaped society, wealth is piling higher and higher, while poverty and precariousness are constantly increasing downwards. The same causes produce the same effects, we are moving towards a generalized social revolt.
