Muwahahaha...

Just when you start to think this earthly shitshow has jumped the shark, it always brings the excitement back around again.

i've seen some posts from french IPs that say it's more about the immigration and general shitshow the country has been. they imply the western media is spinning it to make it about globu warmu.

Funny that WaPo and SFGate actually admit that.

For one thing, weaning poor French people off of petroleum isn't going to happen if they can't afford to buy electric vehicles.

For another, the amount of carbon released by French drivers is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Not to mention, every fucking plant on earth breathes carbon dioxide, so it's not really a pollutant, is it? Saying a carbon tax is the most effective way to reduce carbon emissions is bullshit. Planting a shitload of trees would be far more effective, would improve the quality of life, and wouldn't disrupt the economy.

The carbon tax is only part of the problem in France though. They're fed up with the government micro-managing every aspect of their lives. The yellow vests are symbolic of government overreach. French people are required to keep a yellow vest in their cars in case they break down and have to get out of the car by the roadside. It's rather like Obamacare requiring everyone to either buy health insurance or pay a penalty.

... it's more about the immigration and general shitshow the country has been.

Yes. The French people interviewed in a video in another thread said it's about "everything." They don't even know where to begin listing all the shit they're pissed off about.

and to think this whole 'climate change/global warming' was thrust upon us by a big gomer from tennessee , bitter revenge upon all of us just because he couldn't be president . So we got big als massage parlour tricks ... its not our fault his wife wasn't doing it for him , that poor lady went completely nuts ...i mean kookoo for cocopuffs she was found on some street corner far from her home ranting and raving . I recall the son of a bitch when he was debating on his run for president , total fucking arrogance - and that is what you have today among these 'climate change' fuckboys macron and trudeau

now i have to go get some bourbon to calm down

Fuck Tipper Gore. She wanted to censor foul language in pop music, yet was a LGBT advocate. That's the left for you, always picking the most inconsequential things to get outraged over.

It's alot of money and a hard pill to swollen when it comes to climate. I think the science is hopefully wrong but perhaps 20 years time the earth may become unstable. And you may need to build a few boats... And salvage MREpacks.

The coastal areas are chock full of wingnuts. I ain't gonna cry if they sink beneath the waves.

Even left-wing MPs are looking to boot Macron now.

[Dink Beaver]

French communist and socialists are organizing a no confidence vote against macron... I feel like this whole thing could turn into civil war in a year or two. Society too fractured, nobody wants compromise.

remember, per albert pike's letter to mazzini, there were to be 3 world wars, with the third being the zionist west vs islam in a mutual annihilation leading to the eradication of religion aside from satanic luciferianism. they want the babylonian talmudic system back fully in place. the immigrants were never meant to assimilate or coexist, they are tinder to set the land ablaze.

we're getting closer and closer...

What amazes me is france has 5 of the top 20 banks by size on earth yet they have this very strong socialist leanings among general population

[Mister Obvious]

True, Genba...

But there is a wildcard they didn’t (and have never been able to) plan on or do anything about.

It’s the anomaly. They know it, they dread it, and they’re powerless against it.

No one escapes the rules of the matrix.
