I hear what you’re saying, but I don’t think “self-policing” is a good approach either. If the perpetrator is an infiltrated cop, you’d be assaulted and charged for assaulting a cop (they act in group, and their colleagues will attest the cop identified himself as a cop). If the perpetrator is not a cop, it will most likely end in a fight and police will have again an excuse to intervene to “break up the fight”… by beating everyone.

The first thing I can see is document and expose them. The cop throwing projectile has been identified and his unmasked photo is now on Internet.

The second and even better thing is the propaganda doesn’t work well: a farmer union just announced they will join the protest to protect the kids and add their issues, that they see all related. More teachers want to join the protests, another large general union wants to join the protests.
At some point, they won’t be able to pretend everyone is violent and causing troubles.

Way to reverse the blame on the victims again. Protesters can’t control violent individuals. That’s why you deploy the police in a normal world.

But you seem to mean the protesters need to do the police’s job otherwise police will start crushing protests.

Be aware that

1.This would not be possible if the infiltrated policemen were not covered by both their hierarchy (actually they were most likely ordered to start a battle) and the anti-riot police. Anti-riot police know well how to go get an identified individual in a crowd. Were it a student, they would have done so, and not smoothly.
2. Over the last decade, we had countless of whistleblowers from the police force who were quitting over racism, sexism, gutted by the rise of the far right ideology in the police ranks. Pretend of being attacked is not to ease the decent policemen, it’s to keep pretending in medias and court. France police is deeply deeply rotted, and might well be beyond salvation.

Here, for you: A cop trying to pass as a protester launches a projectile to justify anti-riot cops charging what’s otherwise a peaceful protest.

After that please come back explain about what “authorities” said about the protests.

We have videos and testimonies, full load of them. The state has “reports”.

And some ****** have uninformed opinions based on their prejudice towards the platform they’re on…

Universal basic income will never happen under current trend. What will happen is more like oligarchs setting up charities for the commoners: they keep you alive, and in exchange, they can do whatever the hell they want, including abusing kids they’ll force you to have and raise.

They’ve created a tech religion

Given the impact on the planet, it’s more a death techno-cult.

Damned! I was about to go to bed and instead I read that thread. Now I won’t have my 8 hours… :(

The worst is that statement sounds so much like he never had any emotion listening to music.
He was never blasted by something he couldn’t imagine before, and he thinks finding new things one like is just a mash-up of what one has heard before already.

Are these guys fucking humans??

Oh come on! We all know that this idea will be immediately converted to “prayers from Trump in exchange of cash” so that he can rip off his followers once more!

So Canada will be in, because that’s what the “associated member” thing is about. But UK will not.

“Made in EU or associated countries but not in non-EU Europe”

Hope there’s a regulation on the labels size…

And if they ask you to unlock it, you just say no and it all goes fine?

I can’t but imagine someone put that chair there to enjoy the quietness and the wild. Then he heard the buzzing of a flying drone, got off the chair, ran in the woods screaming “THERE IS NO PLACE LEFT ON EARTH I CAN ENJOY!!!”.

And we’re here, looking at that picture, and arguing about whether this would be a good setup for each of us individually, all assuming no drone presence, of course.

Musk has openly admitted he propped Hyperloop for the sole purpose of stopping California to build a high speed train. He never intended to deliver anything.

With all these immigrants, Heaven for sure has become a bad place, which is why I refused to go there when offered!! When God comes to his sense and remigrate them, I’ll reconsider!!

What, you doubt me? Such a lack of faith! You must be a bad Christian! You’ll probably go to Hell!

“Uh oh! Errr… chief! Bad news! How to say it… hmm… Now I get why someone was proposing to build the bakery first…”

That’s what TruthSocial is now, and to a certain extent other private social networks (X, Facebook, etc.), since they’re run by oligarchs who submit to his will. It’s the modern version of fascist Italy.

Nah, not “state run”. It will just get funds from the government and rich friends, and most of it will be funnelled in his pocket as usual, all to only report on what HE is doing or saying. Maybe cable ops will be forced to include it in their packages, who knows?

I was thinkkng the same:
“Earth is flat” (Pythagore knew it wasn’t)
“They use chemtrail to turn you [whatever]”
“Give all the money to the rich, it will trickle down!”
“Vaccines don’t work”
The list goes on

That’s a crack in the AI-bros alliance.

On one side, AI companies running out of cash for their expansion race and looking for excuses to pause everything but more importantly everyone else with them.

On the other side, the only corp that actually sells something, invested shitload of money in the AI hype and needs making profit on hardware at an insane rates to recoup his investments otherwise he’s toast.

You’d still be amazed and depressed by how much people are underestimating the level of surveillance from Google, Meta and the others.

An outstanding long-term stragegy, but nowadays, even CEOs don’t give a damn about “long term”. They’ll take their tens of millions of $ compensation package and move on to another company, leaving the mess to the next one.

Capitalism at its top efficiency.
