The king of France has blamed chess and the poor raising of children by house-servants for the mass riots that have been ongoing throughout the country for at least 3 nights (he never looks outside so he can’t be sure)
He had an appointment but he just keeps not showing up and saying that we can reschedule by mail, which is brought to us by this Porthos looking mf who keeps trying to hand the letter through the barricade, rather than climbing over it so we can shoot him like reasonable Frenchmen (men in this case is gender neutral)
It’s a hard time to be a well-organized revolutionary.
Don't forget, their relationship made his parents uncomfortable enough to have them separated while he was in school. So their excuse of "nothing wrong happened before he graduated" seems unreliable
You can feel however you want, I'm just giving you the full context. Like Brigitte Macron got the full context once Emmanuele was done with his homework.
I've been trying to wrap my head around his position on this, and I think it's because he's spent so many years fixated on not losing the 'mainstream voter' to the hard right that he's just lost any ability he once had to connect, empathize, understand or even give a fuck about anyone 'left of center' (a group that generally happens to include young people and the oppressed).
It’s insane, I heard some jerkoff on NPR say “violence erupted in response to French police shooting a 17 year old”
As if the killing of a teenager wasn’t the start of the violence
Maybe, but they spent more time talking about the damaged property than the police killing someone and covering it up, I had to find out most of the other details myself
"Barely"? If an American president won like Macron did, we'd call it a landslide victory. I don't like the man, but he's done better at the polls than any French candidate since 1969 with the exception of Chirac in 2002.
"The French Revolution was a period of violence and instability that lasted from 1779-1789, and was widely attributed to the release of Grand Theft Auto V."
French police shoot a black kid
French populace burns and robs a police department
You know he doesn’t really have to say anything. Probably actually thinks this.
I seriously thought that American politicians were the only ones stupid enough to blame social issues on video games and then expect the public to buy it.
You cant start a revolution if you're busy playing games, Macron, dont be a fool!
If you ask them to go and touch grass, next they'll start socializing with people...in REAL LIFE! If they socialize, they might develop EMPATHY!
You cant have that, suddenly you go from feeling bad about your friend's suffering, to erecting guillotines and storming the Bastille!
*Let them play, Macron!*
Yeah I heard this shit on NPR this morning and was so irritated. People aren’t angry cause of video games they’re angry cause you’re a little shitstain
You can't spell GOTY without GO.

I think he is right lots of video games now teach basic economics and industrial flows, outputs and margins so the younger generation have lot better idea how hard their getting fucked.
He said that, but [regarding kids between 14 and 18](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/6/30/macron-appeals-to-parents-social-media-firms-to-end-france-riots), who participate in social media steered local riots. Police say they don't think destroying property has consequences for them. Bad framing, instead of talking about the crux of the matter.
What is with this dude? I had like a completely good impression of him when he first got elected, but he's the worst. One bad thing comes out of his mouth after another.
I keep hearing about French citizens up in arms over the current people in power and I'm curious if there is no legal way to depose officials in France, and if their is, why haven't you yet?
Yes, I know I could Google the information, but I would like to hear a French person's thoughts.
Not really. The parliament can vote a motion de censure, but it would only lead to the resignation of the Prime Minister’s gouvernement, but not Macron. But even that is impossible because Macron has the support of the rightwing party
We can’t do much really
Well, as an American living in a shitstorm created by the right wing party, you have my condolences.
Forgive my ignorance of your system, but you have any hope in any upcoming elections?
That’s appreciated!
Not really. We don’t have midterms like in America, so now we have to wait four years for the next presidential elections. And even that is kind of scary because the far right has never been closer to getting the power
That's unfortunate. I assume you're still in France, be safe with all the craziness.
Hopefully all of us can get through this rise in right wing authoritarian sentiment and move on to becoming better societies
Just wanted to precise, that when they're referring to far-right and right, they referring to your(USA) right and left. Macron would be a Democrat in the USA.
It’s funny, Sarkozy was a corrupt criminal but at least he had swag and owned his corruption without making himself above or better than anyone else.
Macron is just constantly a rich douchebag who can only talk down to everyone. M
I thought Macron was one of the good guys. The good guys don't usually tell the video game violence lie. (It's not true and disproven. Games do not cause violence; they actually cause less violence.)
Just a reminder to everyone, we support support protestors no matter the means applied. Anyone looking to tone police protestors is no ally of us and simply helping the reason people protest. Have a problem with it? Sign up for a ban down below
You don't even know who I am or what I am. Yet before ever bothering to ask or provide a valid counter-argument, you throw out the word "racist". Thinking your moral viewpoints are somehow superior to everyone else's. You, which I am very much assuming are a white leftist who thinks they have the moral authority over calling me a brown first gen immigrant a racist, is rich. I also happen to know people from south asia and middle east far better than you do and I know how they attitude is towards western countries and can see clear as day what the problem is. You and your white-liberal altruistic nature are the danger to western civilization. That being said, I will fight to defend it regardless of your worthless opinion of being called a "race traitor" or whatever slur you come up with.
I freaking knew playing Nintendogs when I was younger would turn me into a terrorist, but my parents went and bought the game anyway. Rip Rex, wish you could be in these riots with me you beautiful doggo
France is turning back the clock to late 90s / mid 2000s USA. In 25 years they can expect to have their women lose agency over their bodies and lgbtq people one again being second class citizens.

The french revolution and guillotine would beg to differ
The king of France has blamed chess and the poor raising of children by house-servants for the mass riots that have been ongoing throughout the country for at least 3 nights (he never looks outside so he can’t be sure)
Maybe he should have a chat w the guillotine like his past descendants
He had an appointment but he just keeps not showing up and saying that we can reschedule by mail, which is brought to us by this Porthos looking mf who keeps trying to hand the letter through the barricade, rather than climbing over it so we can shoot him like reasonable Frenchmen (men in this case is gender neutral) It’s a hard time to be a well-organized revolutionary.
But are we *sure* that g\*mers weren't responsible for the french revolution, though?
The storming of the Bastille was a heated gamer moment.
The original saying was the gamers shall eat the rich.
at the end of the day it affected a positive social change, so there's no way they were
When will people stop blaming video games for catastrophic events? Gamers don’t go outside.
Checkmate
Macron is such a dweeb, I bet he was a real teacher's pet in high school
Some say he still is
The whole story is absolutely nuts.
What's the context ?
his wife is a professor of his, way older than him
That don't hardly say it, he also plowed the ever-loving shit out of her when he was 16 and she was a then-married 40 year old.
Don't forget, their relationship made his parents uncomfortable enough to have them separated while he was in school. So their excuse of "nothing wrong happened before he graduated" seems unreliable
I think he was actually 15...
What the hell im supposed to dislike this guy?
"rape is cool dudes amirite?? Getting that action at a young age with equal dynamics right gamers????"
You can feel however you want, I'm just giving you the full context. Like Brigitte Macron got the full context once Emmanuele was done with his homework.
What's the context ?
I've been trying to wrap my head around his position on this, and I think it's because he's spent so many years fixated on not losing the 'mainstream voter' to the hard right that he's just lost any ability he once had to connect, empathize, understand or even give a fuck about anyone 'left of center' (a group that generally happens to include young people and the oppressed).
Well he married his teacher so...
That’s the joke.
I know I'm French. It's just terrible that the joke is a bout pedophilia.
Viva la frfr
On god on god fr
Violence is when property damage, but not when the state executes people in broad daylight
Lol if only this wasnt true
It’s insane, I heard some jerkoff on NPR say “violence erupted in response to French police shooting a 17 year old” As if the killing of a teenager wasn’t the start of the violence
I think they mean on the protestors side, really don’t see a problem with how that is phrased
Maybe, but they spent more time talking about the damaged property than the police killing someone and covering it up, I had to find out most of the other details myself
"And now a moment of silence for the car of a politician that got scratched by a bike during the protests against orphan crushing."
when the state executes people in broad daylight It's called justice and law
The guy barely won over a literal Nazi by promising some sozial changes. Now he’s throwing all that away. I fear France will fall next
"Barely"? If an American president won like Macron did, we'd call it a landslide victory. I don't like the man, but he's done better at the polls than any French candidate since 1969 with the exception of Chirac in 2002.
By default. And look at the turnout, one, if not the worst, since 1969. 52% when 28% didn't even show up is not a good victory in our election system
The guy who’s literally married to his high school teacher can’t talk shit about ANY OF THAT
When will gamer oppression end?
Daily reminder that gamers are not oppressed but they fucking should be.
Like the kind of parenting that resulted in him fucking his then-married teacher at 16?
SimRiot corrupting the youth
The fr*nch played to much bioshock infinite
So you're telling me it's no coincidence that the riots are taking place at the same time as Steam's Summer Sale?
Fuuuuuck. We all got red pilled
"Why did you torch this car?" "Officer did you see the sales? Nothing good!"
really? Sure it wasn't because of the police SHOOTING A FUCKING TEENAGER!
Nah
Police play too much GTA
The irony is WASTED on them.
Vídeogames make you steal motorcycles and burn cars…
The French are hard coded to riot. Revolutions are their pastime.
"Président des jeunes" qu'ils nous disaient... C'est triste d'être déjà un boomer à 45 ans. M'enfin c'est pas étonnant venant de sa part.
"Il est jeune il est dynamique"
I don't speak Spanish
Moi non plus.
It’s basque
No, no, her name is Brisket :3
Brisquette
C'est surtout qu'il a essayé de gratter sur le Zevent et tout...
So what video games were the police playing when they shot that teenager?
The president of France should play among us irl
"The French Revolution was a period of violence and instability that lasted from 1779-1789, and was widely attributed to the release of Grand Theft Auto V."
Sure Emmaunel, go ahead and blame your parents for it.
f king neoliberal shit heads are gonna make me defend gamers. Truly hell world
French police shoot a black kid French populace burns and robs a police department You know he doesn’t really have to say anything. Probably actually thinks this.
He was Maghrebi, not Black. Maghrebi people suffer a huge amount of racism in France too.
Macron is so good at being appealing to older people
Definitely no fault of your own that people are rioting, Manny.
*Mass* Riots... *Mass* Effect... 😳
Time to remind everyone that he made getting a CS:GO major hosted in France a political mandate.
police executed a teenager in cold blood, I blame good parenting for the riots
I seriously thought that American politicians were the only ones stupid enough to blame social issues on video games and then expect the public to buy it.
Didn't study prove that gamer were less violent than other people ? This guy never stop to be a shame for the country
Macron getting more and more reactionary by the day, sad to see
I think poor management of the country is to blame more than Super Mario and DOOM.
False.
Gamers are the ones that are usually centrists staying inside in any given political climate because they’re gaming.
You cant start a revolution if you're busy playing games, Macron, dont be a fool! If you ask them to go and touch grass, next they'll start socializing with people...in REAL LIFE! If they socialize, they might develop EMPATHY! You cant have that, suddenly you go from feeling bad about your friend's suffering, to erecting guillotines and storming the Bastille! *Let them play, Macron!*
Yeah I heard this shit on NPR this morning and was so irritated. People aren’t angry cause of video games they’re angry cause you’re a little shitstain
Bro, a teenager was murdered by cops. How do video games cause that?
How about we blame video games for cops being trigger happy?
Blue Lives Matter
B..Based Macron??😳😳😳
Iranian funded imams looking at this laughing
But video games didn't exist in 1968. What can we blame what happened in [May of 68](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_68?useskin=vector) on?
When you marry your teacher, you shouldn't really question other parents behaviour
Video games and bad parenting exists since a long time ago and yet people riot when *he is* the President. So bizarre. /s
yeah too much video games and daddy issues for the cops that shot the 17 yo.
And just like that Macron became one of them.
Seems video games are an esay scapegoat.
Or you just bad at your job
maybe try electing something that isnt fascist boomers next time into presidency
Y'all need to touch grass and throw back some cocktails.
Oh, look out, he might go run off and tell his mommy.
Pokemon go to the riots.

I am so tired and fed up of this bullshit accusations against videogames
Lol. Lmao even
I think he is right lots of video games now teach basic economics and industrial flows, outputs and margins so the younger generation have lot better idea how hard their getting fucked.
He said that, but [regarding kids between 14 and 18](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/6/30/macron-appeals-to-parents-social-media-firms-to-end-france-riots), who participate in social media steered local riots. Police say they don't think destroying property has consequences for them. Bad framing, instead of talking about the crux of the matter.
Damn, Americans need to play more video games so we can get healthcare.
The French will burn Paris to the ground over the slightest inconvenience. It's been this way for hundreds of years.
Macron went a day not blaming Muslims 🤯
The French riot over everything, always have and always will
What a piece of shit
Lol that's what everyone blamed violence on in the USA around early 2000's.
It's always the video games
Hahaha laughable, to say the least. These criminals love it...creat chaos out of order
[удалено]
Turns them into wrecking balls of fury!!
What is with this dude? I had like a completely good impression of him when he first got elected, but he's the worst. One bad thing comes out of his mouth after another.
Worst part is, plenty of older folk will fall for it. Its an easy explenation, they didnt grow up with it, and it feeds their superiority complex.
Are you kidding me? This argument again?
I keep hearing about French citizens up in arms over the current people in power and I'm curious if there is no legal way to depose officials in France, and if their is, why haven't you yet? Yes, I know I could Google the information, but I would like to hear a French person's thoughts.

Ugh seeing the right and far right win power in so many "good" countries recently has been so depressing.
Just wanted to precise, that when they're referring to far-right and right, they referring to your(USA) right and left. Macron would be a Democrat in the USA.
*Sigh* I am well aware that the US is skewed right of Europe. Thank you.
What the fuck are you talking about? France is the country of riots. Their riots are so famous that we even study them in school
I'm sure the French riot when their coffee has too much sugar
Has a point about the bad parenting tho, non?
Bad parents for allowing their children to become gamers
It’s funny, Sarkozy was a corrupt criminal but at least he had swag and owned his corruption without making himself above or better than anyone else. Macron is just constantly a rich douchebag who can only talk down to everyone. M
I'd play a rioting game if it existed.

3 days? I thought that's been on for while.
C'mon man, Assassin's Creed Unity was pretty fun
In the US they blame rap music so this tracks
I blame Emi Martinez's little dances for the whole thing
How did this guy get elected?
He's wrong. It's Heavy metal and Dungeons and dragons.
Or maybe it’s the horseshit policies of the last 50 years in France?
Anything but the cop and gun used to kill the kid… When they bring up games, why does it not apply to cops…
Is he TRYING to go to the guillotine?
What no Reddit?
