mmmmmmm that’s good propaganda

Some extremely common lies used to turn the public against a protest

Like, if you don’t want to talk about how massive inequality is in France and how much more than effects people of color, how police brutality enforces that, how last year French police raped a man of color and got away with it, how basic human rights are being ignored by the French government in the name of ‘safety’, how two horrible racist parties are running against each other for the elections, how the French police constantly escalates protests themselves because they do not like the message, if you don’t wanna talk about all the danger protestors are in from police brutality and still they show up to fight for justice… then ya, an article like this will do nicely. 

Almost one hundred demonstrators were wounded by cops in Paris this May 1st. 6 cops too - one got severly injured, by his own grenade.
