downtownvVance Condemns France Disorder With Warning To Americans
Vance said the unrest shows the cost of failed assimilation and warned that congressional Democrats want a similar path for the United
On Saturday, about 550,000 people participated in 110 marches across France to protest rising living costs, with violent clashes, fires, and looting resulting in around 400 arrests nationwide.
Demonstrations coincided with widespread public anger over rising living costs and declining purchasing power, drawing comparisons to the 2018 Yellow Vest movement, according to Interior Minister Laurent Nunez.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance blamed 'Western liberals' for the unrest, arguing they 'ignored fundamental questions of assimilation' and warned that Democrats seek a similar future for the United States.
Donald Trump mocked the unrest, joking about France's history of revolutions and stating, 'France seems to be so damn good for revolutions,' while referencing property damage and fires.
French President Emmanuel Macron vowed prosecution for those involved in vandalism and looting, while Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu condemned attacks on public buildings, affirming support for law enforcement.

downtownvVance: Stop the madness before more landmarks burn
In his post, Vance linked to a video purportedly showing a fire at the historic town hall in the central French city of Limoges. It had been set ablaze by rioters. "I hope that France, a beautiful country with wonderful people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn," Vance wrote.
The Trump administration is pursuing a hard line against migrants in the US and boasts about mass deportations. The president and his vice president have also repeatedly criticized Europe in the past for its allegedly lax asylum and migration policies.

Fly-SigThe dependent class is upset that the government caused inflation is making it too expensive. The government have trapped themselves with decades of increasing give aways, aka socialism, where they can't implement any corrections, while the dependents demand ever more. They're locked into a self-feeding economic and cultural death spiral. Spending causes inflation, dependents demand more spending because of inflation.
The producer class are not rioting, though many have rebelled by leaving. The uprising is from the lower economic strata.
It's not that the free shit gravy train has stopped, either. This is a good lesson in real time, not from a history book, how creating a culture of entitlement leads to violence when there is a reduction in benefits. In this case it is inflation reducing purchasing power, but it amounts to a decrease in benefits.
Of course, the organizing behind the riots will be by monied leftists exploiting the ignorant. What is seen isn't what is really happening. Power hungry leftists and/or muslims are trying to bring down the government and emotionally exhaust the citizenry so that they can install their own new government. They seek to fundamentally transform the country.
Time will tell if this is a tipping point.
