I remember this memo. Macron's response is definitely American-influenced. Despite his few token anti-woke stances, when push comes to shove he reveals his own elite tendencies. This reminds me that Obama's 2008 campaign was quite moderate, but Steve Sailer predicted based on his wife's politics that he would be extreme the moment he thought he could get away with it

These riots don't seem artificial though they seem very real. The optics are terrible, for example they defaced a Holocaust memorial. That alone suggests they are truly spontaneous. In America, the CNN office got ransacked a few days after May Twenty-Floydth, but from that moment on it was exclusively targets acceptable to the establishment that got burned

America's rioting population was a demographic with its own history here, looking to establish with the help of the elites a new version of history where they got to have an outsized importance at the expense of their oppressors, as well as to get corporate and government handouts for the riot organizers. African immigrants in Europe are I think just looking to make a new home and have no reverence for the country they inherited or revisionist history to impose. I don't even think they care to change the government in any identifiable way. It just seems like a race riot. America's riots were an organized revolution

Fair assessment.

The key difference between these riots and blm 2020 was that you had newscasters and roughly half of the political establishment encouraging them and refusing to even call them riots. I'm not seeing that in France, which is why I don't think we're seeing Floyd-style engineered takeover.
