    From what I’ve been reading and told, a lot of the violence comes from instigators trying to discredit and devalue the protests, not the actual protesters. So avoid jumping to conclusions about who started this fire, could easily be someone just trying to stir up shit to harm the protests.

        How is that more (or less) likely? Unless I missed some proof being posted, the point is we don’t know either way…

          Well how likely do you think it is that these 15-16yo boys all around France are really part of some grand slick counterrevolutionary plot?

      High schoolers in France are protesting due to poor conditions and a defamed education.

      • Our PISA scores are low
      • budgets are getting cuts
      • classes are overcrowded
      • students have too long hours and too much work for poor results

      They have a right to protest but they are being met with a really heavy repression.

      Tear gas, “non-lethals”, armors + bâtons…

      They are kids. (Fuck EU kids act btw, this is the reality of how they treat our kids)
