Riots in France worry us …

The riots of the past few days in France must be alarming, because they seem like scenes of a coming storm that will shake the societies of the West and then, by imitation facilitated by the media, the societies of the East…

Western societies are going through a period of intense challenge by internal and external forces, which in some cases instigate such unrest…

Immigrants who do not want to assimilate but who accumulate at an accelerating rate in Western societies are only one side of the problem.

The other side is the suicidal “Islamic mania” of important parts of Western societies which manifests itself either as proletarian internationalism or as boundless cosmopolitanism…

In a few years, of course, given the rate of accumulation of immigrants who do not want to assimilate, it will be difficult to control the problem even with the articles of the constitutions of the republics and states of emergency suspended. ..

The United States recently witnessed similar riots with the Black Lives Matter movement, after the killing of a black man who was involved in cases of deviant and even criminal behavior.

The reason for the recent riots in France was similar. The common denominator in both cases, as in recent social unrest, is what has been described as an abuse of power on the part of the police authorities.

But we must be careful in assigning blame, because usually the victims are not peaceful citizens, but people who have often participated in criminal activities and under circumstances that could be dangerous…

Such events are usually sparks that cause major fires. Nor is it a coincidence that riots arise when the victim is one of the minorities with antisocial behaviour. On the contrary, when fanatical Muslims beheaded a French professor a few years ago, because they considered that the course offended their primitive religious beliefs, there was no social explosion …

Obviously, killings involving police officers in defense or abuse of power are used as pretexts for social unrest creating favorable conditions for robberies, political unrest and other criminal actions…

The explanation given by the French philosopher Pascal Bruckner in an interview with Le Figaro is interesting.

“…that the police officer crossed the legal limits of violence on Tuesday was merely an excuse that triggered a Pavlovian response.

It’s a perfectly orchestrated drama where troublemakers respond to a script dating back at least to 2005.

Violence is perpetual in suburbia, and it’s part of the soundtrack to everyday life, but on the occasion of this drama, he’ll be able to appear with great fanfare. Summer vacation for young rebels begins with nights that promise to be hot. Note that all lives are not created equal: a police officer who is killed or burned with a Molotov cocktail never causes any emotion, except applause for someone who exclaims “Look how good they roast chicken.”

As always in such types of revival, fears about drug trafficking are mixed with a rejection of the French state on all levels and a nihilistic vertigo of destroying everything intended to improve the lives of all of us.

This vandalism, unfortunately, is not only in the suburbs, as happened in the demonstrations of the “yellow vests” in 2019, 2022 and 2023, in pensions with antifas and other hooligans.

The real nightmare in this case would be the alliance of the ultra-left environmentalists Les Soulèvements de la Terre and the riots in the suburbs, the non-conforming children of the good families (bohemian bourgeoisie) and the neo-proletarians who want to live life as usual and it is impossible for the revolution to achieve its goals.

The four months of chaos and hysteria from which we have just emerged have left their mark: violence is a conflagration spreading with astounding imitation. The more it is tolerated, the more it becomes the only language of confrontation. First we hit, then we talk … “.

Western societies go through periods of conflict and upheaval from time to time. The 1960s centered around the Vietnam War protest movement was the most recent. Most of the protagonists and participants in this socio-political upheaval later became family men, businessmen, and politicians while some, like Clinton, reached the highest positions…

Then conservative societies incorporated questioning and mutated themselves…

The difference this time lies in the fact that the protagonists and most of the instigators are individuals and groups alien to Western culture and its values. The motive does not seem to be resistance to progress but hatred of the West, its history and values…

Only its material goods do not refuse …
