"Rebuild society around the social and cultural reality of everyday life." There it is. The politicians of the west have been trying to convince the middle and lower classes that we need to get used to an "everday" life that includes violence, job insecurity, housing insecurity, etc. The People do not accept.
A beautiful tribute to a beautiful country and its people. Never forget Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan, Lola Daviet, Samuel Paty, Thomas of Crepol, and many other innocent French people who have been sacrificed at the altar of mass migration. The elites will do everything they can to put down the peasant revolts across Europe and continue importing military aged men who seek to conquer instead of assimilate.
In order to save France, the French have to have the resolve and to admit the reality of their situation. Instead Macron, while initially supporting Israel, has now come out demanding a ceasefire, which only benefits Hamas. France, like Europe, happily embraces amnesia. There was a ceasefire on October 6. It takes courage to stand up to the forces of Islamist genocidal hate. Don't bet the Jewish future (or the future of freedom) on France or any part of Europe.
Less than 14 days ago, a young rugbyman named Thomas was murdered by a horde of people in rural central France, at the end of a village party.
It was clearly heard that the culprits said they were here to "kill white people".
Later on, after 7 suspects were arrested, the procureur (= district attorney) said he refused to release the first names of the suspects, several of them being minors.
At this point, everybody knew what the names would be like, and the attitude of the procureur was revealing of his political leaning : you don't want the good hillbillies of France to know it's the Arabs, "again", as it is most of the time in this kind of "fait divers".
Because it was, and the primary suspect of the stabbing was named Chaid.
I generally agree with this, but I'm surprised that immigration is ignored. The grass roots movement the author describes is even referred to as multicultural. This doesn't square with most analyses of European discontent, which centers on immigration and asylum systems out of control.
I am not convinced that this movement is different from the populist uprisings that have swept Europe time and again for centuries. People are--as the author said--determined to survive. They will strike out at anything they perceive as preventing their survival.
The fact that there is no utopian element to the current movement is the only thing that separates it from the French Revolution. Then, as now, people wanted to lash out at those they perceived as making their lives untenable.
Beside the fact that the author is clearly enthusiastic about something, it's not at all clear what the people he's writing about want and how they anticipate solving their problems. Is the problem mass migration? Is it globalization? Well, the immigrants have even fewer jobs than the natives. Is it the pension system? Well, is that problem going to go away if one just prints Euro? It is cultural? What is the culture that is being threatened, and who participates in it? A movement without an ideology or a leader is not much of a movement; it's simply unrest.
When did politicians become royals, we fought a revolution to end that shit. The same thing is happening in America as in Europe. The elites jet around the world and lecture us on driving gasoline engines as a matter of necessity. They enter politics with nothing and come out multi-millionaires and worst of all tell us how to live our lives through social engineering!
If these liberal politicians have made such a hash of things - imperiling your nation's existence and people in the process - why do you keep voting for these imbeciles?
"“If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five percent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. The Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflection of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They need only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it.”
Reading the first article on my Country in TFP, I must say I'm a little disappointed. His analysis is underwhelming to say the least. Seeing everything through one lens and one lens only : the yellow vests riots (which had no project, no claims and eventually vanished out of thin air after having wrecked the country havoc).
I would suggest to Bari and Oliver to reach out to journalists like Caroline Fourest or Raphaël Enthoven (at Franc Tireur) , or Abnousse Shalmani and Anne Rosencher (who write at L'Express) for more insightful and brave reporting.
“The masses never revolt of their own accord, and they never revolt merely because they are oppressed. Indeed, so long as they are not permitted to have standards of comparison, they never even become aware that they are oppressed.”
I'm the proud daughter of immigrants from Europe. My parents came to the States in the 1940's and 1950's. Both came for jobs. My mother from Scotland, my father from Italy. Most of their siblings came as well. My father actually was considered a US citizen through his mother and eventually learned English and promptly joined the US Army in 1953. My parents raised four kids in northern New Jersey and we enjoyed growing up in a town of Italian, Irish, Scottish, German, French, Russian families. There were Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Atheists, Episcopalian, etc. The United States truly was a melting pot and I had a front seat to many different cultures. What did all our parents have in common? A love for their adopted country and a desire to assimilate to the States. All the parents spoke English when out in public, but also spoke their native tongue at home. We learned about each others traditions and religious practices, but we understood that our religion or practices were just one of many. Not assuming that ours was the only way.
After reading this article, twice, because I thought I had missed something, I am still struggling to understand the author's title. What is the last best hope? It went around in circles....it reminded me of the first time I encountered roundabouts in Scotland and couldn't figure out how to get off at an exit and literally had to go around three times to make my way off!! The article was maddening. France will NEVER recover unless a beacon comes to the forefront and the French people who want to see ASSIMILATION and FRENCH CULTURE leads the way.
"Yes, there is still time to change direction, to rebuild a model of society that returns to some form of transcendence and humanity. There is only one way to reach this objective—a path that, for decades now, the dispossessed, the majority of ordinary people, have been pointing to. This path is our last way out of the chaos."
WHAT IS THE PATH?????? I appreciate that the author is a "thinker", however, he also needs to be a speaker. The France that most people want to visit is one of food, art, architecture and the French language. That does not mean that those from other countries who have immigrated to France can't be a part of that society, but ASSIMILATION is necessary. The same goes with Italy, Scotland, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, and the rest of the EU. If an immigrant chooses not to assimilate, the question becomes, WHY did you leave your home country where your customs and culture is what you love? If it is so wonderful, why not stay? Mass immigration does not work. Immigration only works if the migrant chooses to assimilate. The French people are waiting for their person to show up and lead the way.....who will it be?
Until the people who espouse the globalist rhetoric are exposed to the actual effects of their theories, it will continue to degrade. Look at what bussing immigrants (illegal immigrates) to major cities is doing. They all drank the sanctuary city cool-aid and virtue signaled to the world what great people they are. That is until they got hit in the face with real illegal immigration and immigrates.
Now they see the costs of their university theories.

The anger is growing and growing... 😡😡😡

Simple question and - truth - simple answer.
If these liberal politicians have made such a hash of things - imperiling your nation's existence and people in the process - why do you keep voting for these imbeciles?

Read Alison Pearson’s article in today’s Telegraph on the Dublin riots. Ireland is suffering the same immigration problems as France
