Melissa Chen on X - "Aline started working at age 12. Over the next three decades she built La Barrique, a restaurant in Paris’s 10th arrondissement, from scratch. She cooked, served, and became part of the neighborhood. On October 17, rioters broke in, destroyed the place, punched her in the face, and set the building on fire. By morning her restaurant was ashes. 34 years of work, vaporized in a single night. Obviously, Aline is an immigrant, one who went to work every day, contributed to the economy and served her community. One of liberalism's fatal flaws is the fear of drawing distinctions. Distinctions between men and women. Distinctions between cultures. Distinctions between countries. Because apparently noticing any differences means that you are violating your commitment to equality; it means that you are discriminating, and in the hierarchy of evils in the liberal world, there is no worse sin. This is literally baked in to the French national motto: Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité Égalité means equality, specifically social or political equality. Which means that drawing any distinctions is the same as discrimination. But this is completely untethered from reality because these distinctions are REAL. And if you craft and enact policies that ignore these distinctions, the chickens (ok since this is France, the Gallic rooster) will come home to roost."
Handre on X - "When immigrants refuse to integrate into the host society's legal, linguistic, and commercial fabric, they create jurisdictional ambiguity. Ambiguity is where transaction costs breed. But that is only part 1 of the problem cascade. Consider the banlieues ringing Paris, where Sharia-adjacent informal courts settle disputes that French civil law theoretically governs. Two competing legal systems occupying the same geography produce institutional decay. Contracts become unenforceable across community lines. Capital avoids the uncertainty. Citizens pay that cost in stagnant property values and higher insurance premiums. But wait there is more. Language is infrastructure. A Turkish enclave in Berlin where 40% of residents speak no functional German represents a communication barrier that price signals cannot cross efficiently. Entrepreneurs cannot hire freely across that barrier without absorbing translation overhead. Labor markets fragment. Wages inside the enclave compress because the worker pool cannot compete in the broader market. Then, the welfare state makes it dramatically worse. State subsidies remove the market pressure that historically forced assimilation. Ellis Island immigrants learned English because the market paid them to. Today the German government pays families in Neukölln to remain monolingual, then wonders why parallel societies calcify across two and three generations. Non-assimilation creates a property rights problem across cultural barriers. Voluntary immigration into a free society demands adoption of its legal foundations. Anything less transfers real costs onto existing citizens without their consent, and that is simply redistribution without even a passport. Fast forward 20 years and you end up with this:"

Itai Cellier on X (Translated) - "There's a very good question here that I want to turn into a separate tweet - "Why is there atomic chaos on some streets and nothing at all on nearby streets (where there are good stores for looting)?"
The answer is pretty simple: This pattern of areas with widespread looting and areas right next to them with absolutely nothing is a symptom of the fact that vandalism and looting work is professional, planned, and coordinated in advance. And I'll explain: What characterizes all the riots in France so far, like Saint-Germain's victory, "Music Day," etc., is the "spontaneous destructiveness" created by the arrival of masses of people from tough suburbs into the big cities, mainly in the evening hours - under the cover of darkness and under the cover of a large crowd flowing through the streets - it's very easy to carry out acts of vandalism and robbery that the police have a hard time spotting until it's already "too late" or at least, it allows enough critical operating time before police forces can arrive at the scene. Because of this, the shape of looting areas in these cases has always overlapped with the crowd's paths of advance. Yesterday, something entirely different happened. There were approved demonstration routes by the police authorities, there were a few riots carried out along those routes too but those were mainly regular spontaneous riots and not organized.
**Most of the damage** was carried out in areas **relatively far** from the demonstrations and it was carried out in an organized way using a very smart method - first of all, skilled teams piled up barricades around a certain sector. Barricades that didn't encounter any police resistance because the police simply weren't there because they were busy securing the route of the authorized demonstrations. After the barricades were set up, they were usually also set on fire. But it wasn't just the barricades that were set on fire but also several nearby hotspots like cars or business storefronts, wooden doors, etc. The goal was for residents to call the fire department which would send fire trucks that would have to draw water from street hydrants and direct firefighting efforts to several hotspots [usually at an intersection] which de facto creates - an effective blockage of traffic routes - beyond the burning barricades themselves. From that moment, the looters were essentially free to smash the storefronts that interested them without interference. The thing is, they also "stuck to the schedule" according to reports, the X hour was 16:30. - When you're looting inside a sector "secured" by burning barricades and fire trucks starting to flow in *far* from the demonstration routes and when all the looting happens simultaneously - even a police force of hundreds of thousands of officers - won't manage to arrive quickly (via mounted patrols or transit - because the routes are closed) or flow in time on foot to all the looting sites to stop it. This is what essentially proves it was a professional organization with a guiding hand and disciplined teams. Who does the suspicion fall on? On the skilled teams of Antifa and other radical left organizations, including "professional brains" who come from abroad. On people from Mélenchon's "indomitable France." And on agents of Putin's Russia. [Remember the blue Star of David graffiti painted on Jews' homes right after 9/7? The synagogue painted green? The red hand signs on the Holocaust memorial? The sabotage of the train guidance systems before the Olympics? - All of these were proven to be Russian sabotage operations]. This modus operandi is also what explains the "amazement" among bobo people [the French bourgeois left] who tweet things like "What riots are they talking about I live here in Paris and my street is full of stores and quiet." Yeah, darling. You're not in an area pre-targeted by the "protest" organizers. And that's why "you didn't notice anything.""
Ro Khanna on X - "From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in. In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes. In Spain, for affordable rent and housing. In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption. @JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south. He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment. The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few. This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future. In America, let us listen to our young. We need an economic and political transformation. America's Next New Deal."
Melissa Chen on X - "Let me translate what Ro Khanna’s pitch is: Remember the 2020 BLM riots’ death toll, firebombed buildings, looted stores and subsequent crime waves and business flight in multiple cities? Yeah, we miss that! Let’s double down with higher taxes on productive capital, more redistribution, and reward youth protests so we can fund the cycle and invite more of it! We want the USA 🇺🇸 to be be MORE like France 🇫🇷 !!!!! Vote Dems!!!!!"
Melissa Chen on X - "Then why isn’t Central and Eastern Europe - Poland, Czechia, Hungary - burning this weekend? (Albania is the clear exception, and for different reasons) Housing costs, school conditions, and youth economic frustration are real problems across much of Europe, including in places with far lower immigration. Yet the large-scale, violent unrest this week was seen in France, Italy, Spain, Belgium. Why? The demographic differences are stark: Foreign-born share of the population: Poland ~2.6%, Hungary ~7%, Czechia ~10%, France ~14%, Spain ~19%. More importantly, the composition differs. Inflows into Poland, Czechia, and Hungary have been overwhelmingly Ukrainian, other European, or specific groups like Vietnamese. Western Europe has large, multi-generational populations from the Maghreb, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the broader Middle East/North Africa. Muslim population estimates remain under 1% across Poland, Czechia, and Hungary versus roughly >10% in France."

Melissa Chen on X - "It's funny how the commies who constantly tout the evils of private property and the moral urgency of redistribution always sprint straight for the monogrammed handbags the moment the alarm goes off. Personally, I find it hard to summon much sympathy when luxury stores get smashed and looted. Why? Because it's the same industry that constantly embraces third-worldist leftism, sustainability theater, inclusion quotas, and progressive signaling. Recall that Vogue endorses Democratic candidates and majority of high fashion designers snub Melania Trump. Campaigns push all kinds of norm-busting avant garde ideas including open borders and BLM-adjacent slogans, while relying on know-nothing woke celebrities to amplify their message. These brands have spent decades cultivating an ideology to appeal to a consumer class (like Hasan Piker lol) that treats property as negotiable, heritage as contemptible, order as oppression, and hierarchy as something to be dismantled. So when the mob turns on the glass and marble of their own boutiques, this is simply known as being hoisted by their own petard. The Limoges town hall, on the other hand, is different. Its destruction is the loss of something irreplaceable, and I mourn it"

The defining anthem of these so-called ‘protests by schoolboys’ (lol) is a song praising the jihadists who murdered a bunch of ‘infidels’ in the Bataclan and Jewish kids at a school in France last decade. Videos show masked fighting aged men jumping on benches and claiming that Allah orders them to murder police, to massive cheers. This is not an entirely Islamic sectarian protest, ofc. But brutal, hostile, anti-Jewish, anti-Western Muslim fanaticism is now a central feature of Western life. And one of the central driving forces behind Western decline."

Même si tous les policiers et gendarmes de France avaient été dépêchés sur place, il aurait été impossible de l’éviter. Ajoutez ce que nous avons vu à Paris, Lyon, Nantes, Lille, Bordeaux, Limoges, etc etc… et vous comprendrez que l’Etat est dans l’incapacité d’assurer l’ordre public. Dans ces circonstances, il existe des dispositions qui ont déjà fait leurs preuves, comme ce fut le cas en 2005 : l’Etat d’urgence, qui permet notamment aux préfets d’interdire les rassemblements, d’instaurer des couvre-feux, de procéder à des assignations à résidence administratives pour un temps limité. Emmanuel Macron, qui n’a pas hésité à décréter un État d’urgence « sanitaire » pour un virus, estime que ce n’est pas nécessaire, et laisse les préfets gérer avec le peu de moyens dont ils disposent une situation de violences urbaines jamais vue sous la Veme République. Nous basculons progressivement dans un scénario de violences ethniques avec une intensité croissante, et l’Etat laisse la population livrée à elle-même.

Liza Rosen on X - "An Israeli reporter stood in the ruins of a French street and could not process what she was seeing. It looked like a battlefield. Shops smashed, barricades burned, glass and debris covering the pavement. The people who live and work there had done nothing to the rioters. Now they cannot open their stores, cannot earn a living, and are afraid to walk outside with their children. This was not a protest about school conditions or the cost of living. It was the free Palestine Marxist-Islamic intifada imported into French cities. Palestinian flags flew while masked groups systematically looted bakeries, pharmacies, luxury stores and ordinary shops, torched cars, and attacked public buildings. Limoges town hall was burned. Marseille city hall was stormed. A Paris synagogue was vandalized. Around 1,800 people were arrested. Roughly 1,500 businesses were damaged. Losses run into the hundreds of millions. The locals did not start a war. The same banlieue populations that already consume the bulk of welfare, housing and education budgets simply used the march as cover to burn the country that feeds them while demanding more. Macron and the political class that opened the borders and harvested the votes left ordinary French people to live among the wreckage. Free Palestine is the slogan. Muslim colonialism is the project. The same ideology that celebrates October 7 in Gothenburg and waves jihad flags through London now turns French streets into a battleground and leaves the people who built the shops terrified for their children’s future. 💔💔💔"
Eli Steele on X - "I have argued that suicidal empathy is a flawed concept, and what is happening in France proves it. In the post below, Le Pogam gives a good articulation of @GadSaad 's suicidal empathy. He argues that the West feels too much for the wrong people. In short, our compassion misfires, and we die of kindness. It is a comforting story in a sense, but it is false. The behavior he describes is real, and I have said so before. But what drives it is not empathy but fear. My father has long argued that white guilt is the diagnosis. People often say, "I have no white guilt," but it has nothing to do with personal feelings of guilt. You cannot feel guilt for what you have not done. White guilt is collective guilt, and the left has charged the entire West and all whites with the crimes of slavery, segregation, and colonialism. We live in a white guilt world, and that world rules by fear. The charge is racism, and the punishment is public ruin and ostracism. What moves us is fear, and far too many of us have lied to ourselves that this fear is empathy. Suicidal empathy has no origin story. In his book and countless podcasts, Saad offers up the explanations of misfiring emotions and the flawed hairworm analogy. But why would his biological explanation of empathy start misfiring during this time? Saad blames ideas spread from the universities, but that only moves the question. Why did the West let those ideas win after the 1960s? He never says. Le Pogam seems to understand this hole in Saad's reasoning, and that is why he points to Christianity as a possible explanation. But Christianity is 2,000 years old. The origin of white guilt has a date. In the 1960s, white America confessed to centuries of racial oppression. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were that confession. As my father puts it, "It was a confession that this nation made." Whites who had been on the top were now fallen. They lost their moral authority. Many whites sought to regain their innocence by turning against America and the West. They sought innocence by allying with the "oppressed." Europe followed a similar path with colonialism. In February 2017, Emmanuel Macron went to Algeria and called France's colonization "a crime against humanity." Three months later, he was elected president. France did not punish him for it. It rewarded him. Le Pogam describes empathy as the spotlight that lights up the face in front of you. But that spotlight passed over the injured police officers (nearly a thousand of them) and the looted shopkeepers. Fear is the truer explanation here. Standing with the police and the shopkeepers invites the racist charge. Standing with and excusing the rioters gives you a free pass. Le Pogam then describes how this works when he refers to the ideology that "sorts the world into oppressors and victims, then demands unlimited empathy for whoever ranks as the victim, whatever they do." But this is not empathy. You cannot empathize with a category. Empathy only works with a person. What Le Pogam is describing is the brute act of devaluing people into ideological pawns and then brutally assigning them to race boxes. That is what white guilt does. Whether he intended to or not, Le Pogam then explains white guilt perfectly when he says men went silent at the dinner table because they were told their protective instinct was toxic. Why would grown men believe that? Because borders, police and the word no had all been branded racist. Those men were afraid of being called racists. They calculated the cost. That fear is white guilt. So then the question becomes why have so many self-proclaimed free thinkers on the right swallowed suicidal empathy whole? Because it flatters us. If our only flaw is that we're too kind, that's a compliment. The problem is always someone else, and we get to feel innocent. That need to feel innocent is white guilt too. It is far easier to believe we are dying of kindness than to admit we have been afraid."

Another reason left wingers hate them so much
Thread by @jonatanpallesen on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "A look at how the European media covers the violent French riots. The largest Danish new media, DR, has only a small feature on the main page. It describes the riots as "French high school students continue to protest". (I translate the texts to English.) The picture is with the police as the central element. It is not even the largest news story about France on DR. With a larger feature is this story about right-wing antisemitism, and some things this person wrote when he was 17.
Another large Danish news site, TV2: "Schoolchildren all over France demonstrate". Do you notice something else about these demonstrators? The article does not. The article features an analysis, where we can get a perspective of things, that's not just the strictly verifiable aspects of the story. Still no mention of ethnicity.
The Guardian leads with a sympathetic intro from a sympathetic school pupil, Sophia. The article tells us that among the reasons for the situation is the opaque online system for university applications."
The Violence Sweeping France Was Never Really About Schools - The Atlantic - "The French protest too much. Over the past two decades, paroxysms of rage, violence, rioting, arson, and looting have regularly seized the nation, imposing enormous costs on civil society. During the 2005 banlieue riots, the deaths of two boys evading police sparked three weeks of severe property destruction and violence. In the years since, pandemonium has broken out over veil bans, the commemoration of NATO’s anniversary, the legalization of same-sex marriage, even the arrival of ride-sharing apps... the violence fanning out across France has little to do with pedagogical concerns. For some time now, there has been an existential crisis at the heart of French life, rooted in a pervasive sense that the future will never equal the past, that the state cannot achieve what its citizens expect. The national pie is often seen as zero-sum, which explains why so many constituencies, from retirees to high schoolers, refuse to give an inch. Their anger accumulates, then it boils over. And the government is either unwilling or unable to contain it. Five of the videos that have gone viral reveal the nihilistic resentment beneath the pretext of school reform. In the one I can’t get out of my mind, a 15-year-old dressed in a black hoodie, black sweatpants, and mask calmly approaches a woman in Marseille and sprays her face with a makeshift flamethrower, leaving her with first-degree burns. In a scene from Nantes, an inferno fills the lobby of the Nelson Mandela High School, which cost 75 million euros to build in 2014. In the third video, a keffiyeh-clad blond-haired teen in Paris smiles as he explains to a reporter, who has asked about a policewoman being chased and tripped by teenagers, that “the ends justify the means.” Elsewhere, a masked teen stands atop a car addressing a crowd of euphoric classmates, who hold their smartphones out as if they’re at a concert. He counts the police he sees: “There are only 10 of them,” he screams. “In the name of Allah, we can kill them all!” The crowd erupts in cheers. The fifth clip depicts a large and rapturous group of teens in the Loire Valley, backpacks on and smartphones out, gathered in a circle, rapping the lyrics to “M*R*H.” The song opens with a reference to the Bataclan terror attack in 2015 in which 90 people were killed: “I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid of hell; the pact is intact—who but Allah can stop me? / Bataclan—playing dead, lying flat—I’m gonna pick ’em off one by one.”... In recent years, France’s protest culture has been indulged and glorified to the point of insanity. This has become a particular problem during Emmanuel Macron’s tenure, which began in 2017. Protests have not only enfeebled his administration but also eroded the political viability of centrism in France. In 2018, the gilets jaunes, or “yellow vests,” led a national revolt ostensibly against fuel taxes that nearly incapacitated Macron’s presidency until the coronavirus pandemic subdued it. In 2023, nationwide demonstrations coupled with indiscriminate violence and mayhem followed the police shooting of a teenage motorist near Paris. That same year saw further street clashes and rioting over disputes surrounding pension reforms and the construction of water reservoirs. In 2024, farmers blocked roadways and damaged government property. Last year, hundreds of thousands of people participated in protests led by the anti-austerity Bloquons Tout movement (“Let’s block everything”)... some on the left have sought to exploit the nihilism convulsing France by spurring it on. On September 28, Bally Bagayoko, the mayor of Saint-Denis and a member of LFI, danced with students while singing “La Marseillaise” in front of a flaming blockade at the lycée Paul Eluard. The following day, he made his message clear. “La violence, à un moment donné, peut être légitime”: At a certain point, violence can be legitimate."
Clearly, setting a head teacher on fire is how you protest "underfunded" schools
Left wingers in the US want to emulate all of this, because they love nihilism and destruction. The fact that left wingers in France are still not happy despite getting pretty much all of what many left wingers in the US claim they want is lost on them, of course. Left wingers are never happy
