Curious enough to watch from across the drink, but not enough to go there, nor Italy, Spain, Germany, or Greece.
I love my air conditioner and hygiene and unburned stores and cars too much. Though how long before Europe’s urban strife comes to our streets is another story.
What started as student protests has expanded to sector strikes, Palestinianists, Islamists, and now a mass shooter aiming at Africans and those he perceived as Muslim, with lots of drugs in his system, ammo and gun parts, and a copy of Mein Kampf in his dwelling. Also specluation that this could be a victory for the Far Right National Rally of Marine La Pen.
Basically, a Hobbsian “war of all against all” but not for lack of government or those who think they can govern everyone else best.
