By Glenn Greenwald / Rumble Following the recent protests against police in France, the French government has taken steps to implement increasingly repressive measures in the forms of mass surveillance and the rhetoric endorsement of online censorship.
like a mayor of one of the impacted cities said: “we only talk about them when they burn stuff. they are never invited to talk about this, because it previously happened. This time, someone filmed this, and it countered what the cops were saying.”
Yeah, this is a very important point. The best way to lose support for your cause is to destroy property of those you want support from. It’s why support from BLM dropped so severely.
BLM wasn’t even doing the rioting, but they did nothing to ensure those who used their cause to riot/destroy property were snuffed out. If you come to my home or buisness and destroy my shit, or stand by while others drive in with you and destroy my shit, I’m not supporting your cause.
If people’s property are instead protected, and the violence/destruction is focused towards those who are oppressing them, they’d have way more support and things would get done.
That’s a very loaded question. All of them can work under the right circumstances.

Did I say not to burn stuff? Or did I say to burn other stuff?
I have no context for this but how did riots help them to film?
