I share with you new video of Idriss Aberkane an French intellectual.
For those of you who don't understand French, here are the main points I noted:
- In 2017,a new law changed the framework for the use of firearms in cases of refusal to comply. This gave greater latitude to shoot, even in the absence of self-defense. However, there has been no proportionate training effort of police officers to handle stressful situations and de-escalate a conflict. The new generation of officers is below the level of their colleagues hired in the early 2000s, and there is no comparison to be made with the police forces before the 80s in term of competence, excellence and training. Working conditions are so bad and vocations so few that police academies have to accept mediocre students. Nahel's killing is a direct consequence of this lack of training, police authorities admit it (not publicly, as they would suffer the consequences).
In comparison, Germany, a country of 80 millions inhabitants, had one fatal shooting by a police officer in 10 years. In France, we are at 16 fatal shootings in 18 months.
- In 24 hours, more cars were burned than in the 3 weeks of the 2005 riots. This situation is extremely dangerous because the radical left is encouraging these riots and fosters division between whites and people of color by crying out to systemic racism.
He objects, saying that many "native" French were maimed during the yellow vests movements and "native" delinquent are also shot dead.
- The riots are a catastrophy for the image of the French with North-African roots. It destroys 30-40 years of work of integration. French people of North African origin are seen as stupid, illiterate savages who don't understand that what's going on is political. Also the fact that veiled women, who are supposed to be religious, participate in the looting is all the more damaging for their faith. What is being stolen and destroyed will be paid for, and paid for dearly, by the rest of the diaspora and by future generations of immigrants, who will have a terrible reputation. If either side gets tough, a civil war could break out and the whole country will loose.
- The peoples of the Maghreb have proved that they are capable of bringing about political change by taking to the streets, without looting, without destruction, without bloodshed. In 2019 - 2020 in Algeria, they were massive peaceful protests that brought a lot of positive change. They have managed to do this despite the fact that their country was created after a war, and that they experienced extreme violence in the 90s. The difference is that the Algerians who took to the streets were mature people, fathers and mothers with demands to improve their future. They were intelligent, peaceful, organized and determined.
- A mature people will take care of politics, because they know that if they don't, politics will deal with them. The population must become politicized in the noble sense of the word, meaning that they must understand the causes that have created their problem and act to remedy it, doing what works, not following an ideology. All the constituents of the population must take charge of the management of public money, otherwise it will be misspent and misappropriated.
- Nahel, in a functioning country, should have already been given community service for his deeds. Young men shouldn't go to prisons, because as things stands right now, prisons are universities for crime. Work integrates kids, not prison.
- Having North-African roots himself, he stresses that in his experience, it was always the leftists who reminded him of his origins. For the record, he is Khabil (Algeria) and has also French and Italian ancestry. The most racist people he met were on the left. These are people who live in nice neighbourhoods and don't ever deal with the consequences of the ideology they are promoting.
- What we need to do if we want to get out of this, is massively and rapidly educate the population, and those in the suburbs in particular, about the root causes of their problems. The Yellow Vests have politicized themselves, looking for the causes of their suffering themselves, putting forward proposals for direct democracy, popular control of finances, popular control of laws and popular control of politics.
If the suburbs don't politicize, don't educate themselves, they will be manipulated into creating a civil war and participate in their own massacre.
- Finally, to really live together, you have to work together. People need to get together and work towards a common goal if integration and unification is to take place.
