Tucker on Yellow Vest Protests in France

1-16-19, https://youtu.be/32mz62Diqlk, ~31 mins

 

"Our media haven't said very much about the Yellow Vests and that should not surprise you." This is a "revolt against a deeply selfish and stupid establishment, and that includes the media."

 

Notes on remarks by Christophe Guilley, author of Twilight of the Elites: Prosperity, Periphery and the Future of France.

15 years ago, CG noticed that most working class people live away from the major cities. The cities have no need for working class outside the big cities. But you can't build a society around this…

 

The YV protesters are working class, not intellectuals. The cultural establishment can't grasp what's going on; similar to the intellectual response to Brexit in the UK. The protesters use the yellow vests to remind them "we exist."…

 

Cities need French professionals and immigrants to do the scut work. There's no place for the French working class.

 

The French bourgeousie is very hip and progressive; they ostracize the working class (like deplorables here): "They are looked upon as though they are some kind of Amazonian tribe."

 

Protesters have been denounced in France as xenophobes, anti-Semites and homophobes. The elites used this to defend their class. Now they are afraid.

 

Now the working class wants to be integrated into the culture. "We need a cultural revolution."

 

[The intellectuals] need to stop insulting the working class, to stop thinking of them as imbeciles. "Cultural respect is fundamental….We also need to think differently about the economy–beyond Paris, London & New York."

 

Tucker: "Imagine what it would look like if Republicans leaders understood what you just heard. They must just start winning elections."

Attached is the transcript of the interview with French author Christophe Guilluy from which Tucker read on his show tonight.

 

I was very excited to see this coverage on FOX, because there has been so little coverage, despite the ongoing protests in France. To the point where populist opposition leader Marine Le Pen had to broadcast her speech in support of the French people on Facebook; no other media outlet would carry it.

 

But the persistence of the Yellow Vests seems to be slowly breaking through the media blackout.

 

(Apologies to French anons: I misspelled Guilluy as Guilley in the previous post.)

Why is it up to anons to pass judgment on all conservatives? I don't mean that I wouldn't discuss various peoples' positions, ideas, and strengths/weaknesses.

 

But that's not generally how these discussions go. It's more like–"What do you think about X person? White hat or black hat?"

 

These kind of discussions are seldom based upon a nuanced assessment of an individual's work. People just threw out stuff like, "oh he had so-and-so that SOB on his show." Or "he's a fuckin' paytriot." Or "he went on Alex Jones." Or "he comes on the boards and insults people" (which goes along with some anons be absolutely certain that a particular poster is Joe Schmoe, without any real evidence, just their "gut").

 

Sometimes this is pure shillery. But not always. Sometimes it's us thinking we know stuff that we really can't prove. I have no objection to "going after" people who are clearly attacking Q, POTUS, or doing other bad things, as indicated by well-documented evidence.

 

Similarly, I have a very strong aversion to nasty broadsides made on the basis of lots of vitriol and very few facts. Especially when it concerns peoples' reputations.

 

Q tells us "be careful who you follow," and some of us seem to use that as an excuse to call all sorts of people in to question, perhaps just because we don't like their opinions or personality. Or because they don't follow Q.

 

But there are plenty of people who don't follow Q who are doing very good work. What matters is the work, nothing else. And what matters is unity and trying to appreciate all the different ways in which people work to contribute to a free nation.

 

Offered in that spirit of love and unity, anons, not criticism. WWG1WGA.
