All of France is burning.

If even a tiny fraction of this was happening in a country like Cuba, China, or DPRK then we'd be seeing every western media outlet attacking them it and calling for regime change.

@yogthos @xarvh We are, to a degree, seeing that. Because the popular movement has a Socialist motivation FOR THE STATUS QUO. It’s Liberal policy that pushed the country to this point.

@yogthos Indeed this is happening as Europe forces more and more people away from cash.

@yogthos wonder what will happen first? Macron changes the policy or his head lands in a basket?

French unions called for a general strike today.

And the people responded. Over 200 demos were held in the country, with upwards of 3.5 million on strike across the country.

In Paris alone unions estimate that 800,000 people turned out.

How fake news is created. To protect its market share, Facebook has hired a lobbying firm to demonize TikTok.

A company called Targeted Victory pays people to write op-eds in prominent newspapers; and recruits pay-for-play politicians to hype security threat of the “Communist China”.

@yogthos I think it's a pot/kettle problem, really. Both of them weaponise surveillance of their users and neither has a good track record in terms of transparency.

@yogthos LOL. I'd rather have the Chinese know about my doings than the US. That's if I were to use that type of social media. But my blast readius of impact would be much larger if the US were to do it as opposed to China.
