Just weeks after hugely disruptive protests and strikes over pension reforms in France finally died down, businesses in the country are grappling with the fallout from a week of rioting.

Good. The ruling class need to face consequences or they'll never learn.

One could argue that the shop owner whose business was devastated and looted is not necessary in the league of the ruling class

[-] pizzatime@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

hopefully they apply pressure to the ruling class as well then

Real classy methods of applying pressure.

Ruling class is laughing their arses off while watching working class destroying itself. And then they will buy out all the damaged properties for pennies from bankrupt locals. Great consequences!

They're actually very scared. They are beguing to send the army. Fortunately the government still has one functioning neuron.

What exactly will they learn? They will just pick up the scraps and open shops elsewhere. The only loosers will be the "protestors" too poor to move, while unable to get a job in the wasteland they helped to create. Because no business will dare to open a shop on a street where public burnings are as comon as summer rain.

Protesters have looted 200 stores and destroyed 300 bank branches and 250 smaller corner shops.

Quote from article. Must feel like a huge stab in the back when your shop gets run over and looted by fellow countrymen.
