What's happening in France is hard to justify but easy to understand. In 1981 the UK had riots because 1 in 10 were unemployed and couldn't afford to eat. In 2026, 1 in 5 are IN WORK and can't afford to eat. What happens when AI doubles that number? What levels of policing will control it?

Absolutely. We need other means of organization, communication and distribution. At least it should be clearer to people now. Before it was just a threat. Also the starlink BS.

It is great to hear and see the peaceful protests in France and all around the US ❤️ The world today is wrong in so many ways, especially for young people, women, people of color, artists, immigrants, knowledge workers and basically anyone who is not a billionaire. There is a lot to protest.
