with the riots occurring in France right now, i thought it would be an excellent time to create a new category of blogs on my site. with that in mind, i'd like to write about this topic a bit. first off, i find it amazing that this is going on. basic plot: disaffected youth have started a mass riot after two other youths were killed by electrocution as they were running away from police. more than that though, these youths were of a different ethnicity so that triggered a mass outlash from people of similar backgrounds. now the riots have lasted a good 10 days. apparently, the social background of these people is that these people are marginalized and lacking in jobs. so naturally, under these circumstances, this was the bursting point, where people were looking for their martyrs to rally for a cause. one of my interests in this is that i see the possibility of that happening in the US too if the government isn't careful. the current government lacks any sympathy towards the youth, only to oppress them with conservative politics as well as sending our brainwashed men and women to Iraq for a pointless, selfish cause. it would be interesting to see this display of discontent spread throughout the world where the youth stand up against the governments of the oppressive, conservative old guard and tell them to fuck themselves. the US has been needing something like this for a while. i feel that the old are burning us out by making us work like slaves while they lavish in their middle management positions, their corporate private invite only parties, etc. i look to france with inspiration in this.
