Destroying other people's property because you're angry at the government is NOT the way to go about it.
I mean, I support the protests. But I don't support setting buildings, cars on fire... attacking people and the general violence. It solves nothing.
What good does setting your neighbours car on fire do? How does that help the message that you're trying to send?
At the end of the day, there are the actual people protesting... and then there are people who are taking advantage of the situation by damaging property and being incredibly violent.
Yes, the government is trying to take 2 years away from the people (while still being one of the lowest retirement ages in Europe...). But these people are taking away - in some cases - more than 2 years of savings from others by destroying their property that they spent years on acquiring.
Why are you supporting violence against people and people's property?
Would you still be happy if a protester set your house on fire? Would you still be making such a nonsensical comment?
No you wouldn't. And I wouldn't believe you if you said otherwise.
This is a classic "I'm not affected by this, so I support it". Yeah... just wait till there's a violent protest in your neighbourhood and your shit gets set on fire.
There should be no violence from EITHER side. Violence never solves anything.

Yeah non-violent protesting doesn't solvz anything either. And neither does using the countey's democratic processes. So what do we do ? We say "too bad" and go home ?

Y'all are mixing private, public, and personal property that's wild...
No one's burning anybody's house. Destruction of personal property is rare af.
And what would you do if your "democratic" government tried so hard to pass a reform against 70% of your country's population (90% of workers) that blatantly helped corporations and disserved citizens? They didn't even manage to get token assentment from small businesses.
We fucking tried to make it go peacefully but through some regalian magic trick it didn't even get voted in the constituent assembly. So yeah we're thrashing against the bourgeoisie bc it's the only thing that seems to get us heard.

What population wants and what needs to be done frequently doesn't match. French government seems to try make the economy at least a bit more competitive compared to other EU countries.

Resist all you want, even change retirement age to 60 or less, we'll see in 40 years which retirement policy was better.
