RE: Yellow Vest Movement, France: 65.000 police officers and military mobilized to stop further riots.
It is very disturbing and it seem that france administration doesnt know how to handle the problem without escalating violence :(
I'm wondering how tomorrow will look like. I think this time police and army will slaughter yellow vests. It wont bring any solution but surely I cannot see yellow vests being able to overpower armed forces.
Sad sad sad

I can kind of seeing the Tlatelolco Massacre in Mexico City 1968 happening again... But let's pray that doesn't happen, also Im afraid that the movement will get high-jacked by extremists, foreign or local "agent provocateurs" etc... I guess we will see... Thanks for you comment I appreciate it and what you are doing for the platform...

Watching now...
Just got home, not up to date with everything... Not sure what media channel to trust, RT is usually good at covering American and E.U riots and protests and CNN is better at covering protests in Russia and the middle east, News is a lot of propaganda after all...
Im also a bit skeptical towards the growing nr of indie vloggers and such, they all have their own agenda... Even I probably have my own agenda, not sure what that is, but at least Im happy the world seams to be watching.
Thank you so much for the update @riverflows!
Cheers!

Hi @riverflows
Well, they did round them up but didn't even beat any of them. Not much really happend there.
I've been to Palestine and Israel once and what I've seen there gaved me different picture. Europe is miles away from such a violence. Especially knowing that ruling party is going down and those who are responsible for violence can be easily brought to justice sooner or later (especially in current days, with CCTV everywhere and social media so present - police is to scared to be really agressive).
I'm following those news but I cant imagine that it will turn into any sort of massacre. I would rather expect thousands of people being arrested and ruling party trying to "wait it through without escallating violence".

Hi @riverflows, @friendly-fenix
I've never heard about Tlatelolco massacre. Will google it.
Would you mind @friendly-fenix telling me where're are you from? I'm from east europe and to tell you the truth: such a massacre at this stage cannot really happened. Europe is not ruled by one dictator. That's a huge difference.
This movement has support of entire east europe (which is against migration). US administration is supporting it too (Trumph hates Macron openly). UK, Italy and most other countries will probably be neutral. Macron has pretty much no support and he is already surrounded by wolfs (other politicians that want him down).
Remember also that europe doesnt have their own army. And UN would not allow France to use their own military. Not to mention that Macron doesnt have much power to force military to go and kill others.
Let's put it this way: europe doesnt have balls and one person killed here means more than 100 people dead in Mexico. In Mexico simply noone cares about those who die on daily basis. Here every dead person is a huge news.

I think they all ready killed three protesters at least, but yeah it's news now, I guess? not sure if MSM reported on this...
Read about the "Tlatelolco massacre" I think there are youtube videos too if you rather watch something, it was a student protest before the Olympics in Mexico City in 1968, things turned very bad... Most unfortunate event...
When I saw the photos of the snipers on the roofs in Paris it reminded me of this event... I am pro immigration and free movement, I and I like diversity, but when there are no europeans to be seen in European cities anymore then is that diversity?
And I don't want to live in a "muslim dictatorship" or "christian dictatorship" or any kind of dictatorship...
Piotr I also rather not discuss immigration or where Im from it is very sensitive and complicated, I want to be able to travel free and go from country to country, work in Brazil, work in Thailand at the beach, being a digital nomad or whatever, so if I start preaching anti-immigration policies. It's kind of like "Chopping the branch Im sitting on", "Shooting myself in the foot" etc...
-Edit: Thailand is apparently questionably a democratic country I heard...? Junta? Hmm..
Cheerios!

Dear @friendly-fenix
Thx for your long comment. I loved it. I wonder how things will play out in upcoming weeks. Macron seem not to have any idea or willingness to address the problem and it's only getting worse.
I already watched few videos about "Tlatelolco massacre". What a nightmare :/
I agree with you. Let's not talk about it.
Yeah, very questionably.

Hey Piotr, thanks for being a cool guy. I have some technical problems so if Im not "hyper-active" on steemit, it's because of this, always something right? =(
Yeah we will see. what happens, glad you watch some of that history, we can only learn from history and try to improve...But it has a tendency of repeating it self... But you are probably right this would never happen in France, and not in Mexico either not now, the newly elected president is humanitarian and popular amongst the people and he is planning many social reforms to improve the country!

Im sorry for such a late reply @friendly-fenix
I just realized that I missed bunch of comments lately. Just wanted to thank you for keeping in touch with me.
Hopefully you had a great weekend,
Piotr
Yeah, it was a good time to rest. I have mainly been resting...
Thanks stopping by, I see that you are very active around here now?!

hi @friendly-fenix
Im trying to engage and support those who are also active and mostly if they share similar interests towards crypto and blockchain.
My goal is to build strong community, assuming that knowing right people from within industry will help me create more business opportunities in the future :)
That's my idea and strategy. Hope it will work out just fine :)
yours
Piotr
