Police and hundreds of so-called yellow jackets protesting high taxes and living costs clashed in Brussels on Friday and dozens were arrested, as the movement that started in France two weeks ago gained traction in Belgium.

Police fired tear gas and water cannons on protesters who tried to approach government buildings and offices in downtown Brussels and threw rocks and paving stones at the barricades.

———————Needed to start in Brussels, lets hope it grows and becomes a real problem for the central government people.

I’ve been saying for years Civil War is coming in Western Europe. People have had it with socialism and wide open borders. They’re reaching the breaking point.

Let’s talk about the law of averages.

For every one man that has b~~~~, there are millions that don’t.

And there you have the problem. The ones that had a sack, are already safely buried in the grind of the food chain or on top.

The rest will happily work delivering pizza’s just so they have enough to pay the bills to keep doing the job.

Speaking of that. I need to send out a afident of debt to a c~~~ that needs a stiff awakening to why you should not f~~~ with the hands that feed you.

You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home

Don’t get any ideas they are pro-freedom.

They LOVE Big Government.

They just don’t want to PAY for it.

Gasoline is around $6.26 a gallon in Paris where these protests began.

In the US, we pay about $0.53 a gallon (approximately) in taxes; in France it is closer to $3.20 per gallon. The middle and lower classes just want free s~~~ and somebody ELSE to pay for it. They don’t want to see reduced government. The French love to have protests and block the streets. Usually instigated by the Unions, but not these protests.

To Emmanuel Macron’s credit, he has at LEAST made it easier to FIRE someone in France (labor law reform) and reduced investment income taxes. His next target is social welfare spending. So he has advanced MANY good policies, though I don’t agree with raising the gas tax even higher.

And the story of his wife is amusing, he began the affair with his rich 39 year old married teacher when he was 16, that is now his wife.

They are protesting the COST OF LIVING in general and the lowering of buying power. Yes, it started with the price of fuel but that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. People don’t even have the money to pay to heat their homes anymore and the taxes on energy keep going up. It’s 21% in Belgium. Some parents are feeding their children dog food for lack of money.
They are protesting the overreach of government into private lives and the con-job that is unemployment benefits, benefits meant only to keep The Machine going, enough to pay the bills but not enough to live on, enough to keep the charade of socialism going.
This “Yellow Jackets” insurrection – because that’s what it is now in France – is spreading to all of Europe – even a lot of cops and military are joining in – and may just be the start of a civil war against European Union tyranny.

I don’t love Big Government and I personally know many many Belgians who don’t either so don’t go dismissing these protesters by repeating propaganda you don’t understand. Europeans have fundamentally changed during the last ten years, since they saw their buying power plummet and experienced what Globalism really is about and the French people have changed too. They’re not socialists for the most part anymore so don’t go s~~~ting on people who fight for better wages and lower taxes to have right to a decent living.
I support them in their protest even though I myself don’t believe in such protests. When it’s time to take up arms I’ll be right there with them.

Don't let them Blame, Shame or Tame you!
Give 'em NOTHING, not even an answer!
#GenderSegragationNow!

In France, the Sheeple protest whenever bennies (benefits) are cut or there is an attempt to move to free markets. They sure as hell don’t protest TO cut social welfare or reduce government outlays or regulations or Union power. Let me cite a couple examples:

2016 taxi driver strike — can’t have Uber or free competition! Block the goddamn roads and set things on FIRE!
2016 Nuit dubout — protests against labor reform (allowing companies to fire employees, other reforms to move to a freer market) — Macron introduced some (feeble) reforms! Time to riot!
2006 — youth protests against deregulating labor

I would say that is how it goes in the States, too — so if that’s ‘s~~~ting’ on the sheeple here, then so be it.

Nobody in the US protests against spending, only PAYING more taxes. Or they protest a DECREASE in government or protest to INCREASE government’s role.

Keep in mind, in France, government spending is 56.5% of GDP; in Belgium it’s 52.2%; in the US, 37.7%. I think it’s fair to say the majority of the sheeple in all three countries, are voting for BIG government.

If the population of Belgium didn’t love Big Government, they’d vote for parties that would at least get government spending below 50% of output. THAT is how you get unemployment down and reward people for hard work. Don’t get me wrong, we won’t cut government in the US, either. The Republicans here love Big Government almost as much as the Democrats. Maybe more! That is why spending is UP here.

‘Unemployment benefits’? Haha, I don’t believe in big government. So I am against ‘unemployment benefits’. My ‘unemployment benefits’ are my savings accounts, stocks, real estate, etc. I pay every other motherf~~~er’s ‘unemployment benefits’ because I haven’t collected a single ‘unemployment check’ in 30+ years of working. So I guess I’d just like the option to ‘buy my freedom’ like a slave after 5 years of paying in, I agree I won’t collect benefits ever, but the government can’t steal any more money from me. To me, the ‘con game’ of unemployment, is not allowing me to CHOOSE whether to participate in it. If I don’t check the little box for my unemployment deduction, then I don’t get to collect unemployment. Simple as that. In my case, I’ve paid about $50,000 to ‘unemployment taxes’ between myself and my employer from my wages/salary over a lifetime thus far. Not an enormous sum of money, but not insignificant, either. Why should I have to pay into this ‘system’? All it does is encourage people NOT to save for themselves, and give government the AUTHORITY and POWER to control doling out the benefits. I’d rather spend MY money, WHEN, HOW, and WHERE I want to. So they the government can take their Unemployment Program and shove it up their ass. Along with 99% of their other ‘Programs’.

You don’t ‘fight’ for better wages through politics. You EARN higher wages and salary through SKILLS, DISCIPLINE, and HARD WORK. The only ‘FIGHT’ you can partake in politically, is to reduce the THEFT of your wages and BATTLING to reduce ALL public spending, so you can KEEP more of your income. Obviously, in the three countries cited, the Sheeple have not guarded their freedom. Even in the US, Governemnt spending comprises 1/3 of output. Put it to you another way, if government spending was at the level it was 100 years ago, I could work 3 days a week instead of 5, and my income would be THE SAME. ‘They aren’t socialists anymore’? At what % government spending do they become socialists? HELL, I consider the US socialist, and we are ‘only’ at 37.7% GDP spending by government. In my case, at my age, had spending been < 10% of total output, my taxes would be so low, and my investments worth so much had I worked 5 days a week, it would have taken at least another 10 or 15 years off my retirement age.

Which probably would be a matter of race vs then just politics which if anything benefits it as you can expect to see a new puppet nation of France eventually (like those right wing Dictators in Latin America who worked by the interests of Business over the benefits of the People).

Just an east coast asshole who likes to curse, If you get offended by words like fuck, cunt, shit, piss, bitch or any racial slurs then you just scroll down.
