Macron suggests blocking social media during riots

As someone from the first generation after Portugal's dictorship, I hate this, because it feels like comming back to the Europe my parents have to live through, and I still experienced as a kid and listening to family stories.

However many seem to only know this from history books, or from other countries outside Europe, so they keep voting for the wrong parties, until it is too late.

Funny how you think what macron wants is legitimate but what orban wants is not, when in fact both are equally wrong. France should absolutely not block social media when the french are rightfully protesting against corruption and poverty just as orban shouldn't when hungarians protest against similar issues in hungary. Those who commit damage and acts of violence should be punished but not the whole society.

The real question is what brought the french this level of despair.

More precisely, we got who we brought to power in all elections, local up to national elections, in the last 20 years or so.

The choices given in the last elections were between mostly shades of authoritarianism, and I don't believe any other major candidate would have behaved any better here, and that's not to defend Macron's recent accelerated downward spiral... and most people were complaining about the available choices in presidential and parliamentary elections (as I did). We got the people we voted for (or refused to vote for, too, see abstention numbers) at all levels. You don't get a national-level movement without feet on the ground and a constant political effort.
