"A kind of anti-society has grown up in them - a population that derives the meaning of its life from the hatred it bears for the other, 'official,' society in France. This alienation, this gulf of mistrust - greater than any I have encountered anywhere else in the world - is written on the faces of the young men, most of them permanently unemployed, who hang out in the pocked and potholed open spaces between their logements. When you approach to speak to them, their immobile faces betray not a flicker of recognition of your shared humanity; they make no gesture to smooth social intercourse. If you are not one of them, you are against them."
I do not claim to understand how to properly pronounce the French.

I remember something like 10 years ago, Putin said that France had became the colony of its former colonies. Put aside what you could think of the man, I think he was right on that one.

@@lukecockburn1140 this is only part of an overall plan. The complete breakdown of Western society is the aim, 'they' can then restructure everything to meet their agenda. Pain and suffering, collateral damage are of no concern. They want to break down White societies and when that's complete total control will be theirs on every level, they will be held accountable for nothing and as the new ruling class will never be 'voted' out.

@@user-hu3iy9gz5j Capitalism is not an 'abstract scapegoat.' It is the system that we all live under and is responsible for the specific political, social, and demographic changes that are creating the unrest in France and other parts of the world. The unrest is driven by the deliberate choices that the capitalist class has made over the last century. Denying this is the height of cognitive dissonance.

@@blackspade1 You are right that capitalism isn't an abstract scapegoat, but my point is how often it's used as such. My annoyance stems from the inability to explain exactly what about (the typically illdefined) "Capitalism" causes individual problems and the assumption that Capitalism is the single cause. Poor management, first hand, turned the oil rigg into a burning inferno. Only after acknowledging this fact, can we discuss secondary causes. You could just say "Elite". It gets the point across perfectly well. The unrest is not "created" but instead creates itself within the relevant communities through politically tolerated cultivation processes of social planning habituating natural growth rates of joblessness, divorce rates, demoralization, social isolation, addiction, violance.. etc

After the abolition of slavery, huge “reparations” were paid to the French former slave owners. These were used in part to establish colonial banks in Africa, later joined by others, which would strive to ensure that French domination would endure post-slavery by maintaining “the colonial pact.” This pact involved the deliberate underdeveloping of the colonies’ economies, their forced reliance on raw material exports, and a French monopoly on shipping, exports, and imports. The CFA franc was the currency designed by France to ensure French control survived colonialism’s official demise." www.cadtm.org/Africa-How-France-Continues-to-Dominate-Its-Former-Colonies-in-Africa
