Too dumbfounded to even be on the radar

Thank heavens for socialists. They are a useful barometer for globalized stupidity, peevishness, and dread. No sooner had the public resolved that 100 +/- cases of vehicle arson where somehow livable, lefty starts pushing to reward the violent, and pay for it by further picking the victim’s pocket.

This will only end up making things worse in precisely the way it made them bad to begin with.

Transparently, they leave no doubt who their enemy is. It isn’t disorder, or unemployment, or inequity. It’s whoever is standing in the way between them and their power:

«As French journalist Françoise Mouly noted, “Sarkozy openly admires American neoliberalism, Bill Clinton, Tony Blair and Rudolph Giuliani. He regularly counteracted the lofty pronouncements of the patrician Chirac with comments like ‘I do what works.’ As one French ghetto kid put it, ‘He acts and speaks like a gang leader.’”
Villepin, meanwhile, has pushed a conservative agenda that includes pension “reform”--in other words, cutbacks in retirement benefits. Chirac, already weakened after the EU referendum defeat, was increasingly seen as irrelevant during the crisis.
The same can be said of French Socialist Party (SP) leader Françoise Hollande, who also backed the EU referendum. Though critical of the government’s state of emergency law, the SP has done nothing to oppose it.»

Interesting, don’t you think, about how 95% of the range of political views is lumped in together and trashed.

Not a word about rioting being wrong, or even regrettable, and an occasional whisper about this being useful... In fact barely a word at all until they can point their hatred at one of their usual pet peeves. It seems like the world, as it is, just isn’t good enough for them, or perhaps not violent enough for them.Some people are never happy.

Note - the spelling error for M. Hollande, "Françoise", appeared in the original.
