ostriches ? ah, I get it. OStrich

It just means someone set it up for her, I suppose

Suspicious for ? what, do you think he had the plane crash ?

I'm on jlai.lu now, I usually browse by all instances but this may be an opportunity to contribute more locally & in my native language.

This is how you end up with hyper slugs a few generations down the line

They're talking about punishing the guy

He's just afraid, guys. And chickening out, as usual. Pass the word

Je me suis posé la question récemment : à quoi tient la culture de la manifestation et de l'antifascisme ? a-t-elle besoin d'un maintien régulier ? et lorsque que cette culture est laissée dormante pendant un certain temps, que faut-il pour la réactiver ? malheureusement je pense que la souffrance fait partie de la réponse. Des gens vont perdre leurs yeux, d'autres leurs droits, d'autres la vie. À chaque crime commis par les condés la vapeur va monter, la lutte s'intensifier. Viendra un moment où le peuple manifestant devra submerger la partie adverse. Mais cela peut-il seulement se produire dans un pays avec un tel appareil de répression armée ?

What I have seen from the LA protests, we have nothing on the americans. I am certain they'll fight back just as fiercely as we do on a regular sunday, except they're arguably at more risk given the prevalence of firearms and the late stage fascisation of their police.

No shade, but this is a simplistic understanding of the dynamics at play.

Protests go like this : slow & joyful start, march, sing, march some more, have a good time, then at some point a smoke grenade triggers somewhere behind you. Did anyone see where it came from? If someone did, their eyewitness account is immediately drowned in the crowd trying the flee from the fumes. Some light panic ensues : not everybody knows what the movement is about, what the danger is, and that's very scary. The handful of people who saw the cop roll the grenade shout, or possibly send it back towards the cop line. This small commotion is used as casus belli, because that's all they're waiting for : an excuse to beat people to death.

This is from experience of protests in France (mostly Marseille)

well....
