MODERATORS
Also, something I forgot to add; Le Pen and co will make up a narrative regardless of the situation. “They’ll use this to their advantage” isn’t really a convincing point, because if nothing real is happening they’ll just make something up. What’s more, the narrative they spin about this will mostly be lies anyway, as it always is.
Point being, this is not made up, this is reality. People are wishing for order and police in their street right now. Whoever delivers it wins, it might even be Macron's party.. but definetely not the left that "understands". Because the people stuck in their apartment all weekend or with their bicycle or car stolen or burnt is not understanding the impunity of these tugs.
Their narrative about this will largely be made up, using these riots to pretend that people with foreign backgrounds are dangerous savages or something like that. They always take something that really happened and twist it into something it’s not.
Therefore, it makes no sense to change your opinion or interpretation of a situation based on how the right wing will use it to spin a narrative. There’s always something they can be mad about, and they’ll always pretend it’s worse than it actually is.
The situation is burning libraries, cars, bus, bicycles.
That's the situation and that's what people want to be over as soon as possible. The people in the bad suburbs and the people downtown, the ones suffering with this.
