Seriously.Feb 11, 2019, 11:05 AMCaduceus MercuriusPrivate and public property. Not all individual yellow vests, but their collective does.

The yellow vest collective is also strenghtening the police state with weekly doses of mild insurrection. Sort of like the immune system is strengthened by repeated exposure to mild pathogens or vaccines.

Also noteworthy is that they do not have a very clear set of demands. For example, although many of the protesters would like to see less non-White immigration, they have not explicitly stated that anywhere.

The positive side: many people can participate (whether left or right, peaceful or violent). The downside: in the end it will not have any meaningful effect. It may even lead to MORE enslavement by international bankers, higher taxes to repair all the traffic cameras etc.. Crashing an economy is not without risk…

I consider the yellow vest movement a fine example of mob psychology. It’s undisciplined violence.Feb 11, 2019, 12:02 PMCaduceus MercuriusNothing wrong with damaging some public property if you have a solid plan and it’s absolutely necessary. To stage a coup, you’ll have to do much worse than throw rocks at cops. You may have to kill some, and even their horses, dogs etc.

But this yellow vest movement doesn’t have a plan. It’s semi-violent, not ultra-violent. They simply get themselves hurt.Feb 11, 2019, 12:10 PMSteve SlonkyAppreciate the replies, and not to be inflammatory, but all I hear is rationalizing doing jack shitFeb 11, 2019, 12:12 PMCaduceus MercuriusREAD SIEGEFeb 11, 2019, 12:35 PMCurt DoolittleCaduceus Mercurius Um. My online handle when I wasn’t in public was “UltraV!olence”. Don’t assume that because we don’t TALK about a plan, that we don’t HAVE a plan.Feb 11, 2019, 12:40 PMCaduceus MercuriusYes, I know Curt. I’d say your plan, which I’m broadly familiar with, is very different from the weekly yellow vest approach.Feb 11, 2019, 12:42 PMCaduceus MercuriusYour “um” here indicates that you interpreted my comments as pertaining to you. That was not the case. I was commenting on the yellow vest movement, as brought up by Steve.Feb 11, 2019, 12:49 PMCurt Doolittleah… thank you for the correction. ;)Feb 11, 2019, 12:50 PMCaduceus Mercurius”but all I hear is rationalizing doing jack shit”

My comment was explaining why I believe they will not ACHIEVE jack shit, Steve. It’s a popular uprising, which is great, but they’re not going about it in a strategic way.

I studied all the twists and turns of the French Revolution (and the later Bloody Week), and it’s not that the various victories were achieved by angry peasants carrying pitchforks. Virtually all the battles were fought and/or directed by people with military training. They planned their attacks and their retreats. They didn’t just walk around every Saturday, throwing rocks at the police.

So I’m saying the yellow vest protesters do not have a clear plan. We shouldn’t be like them. We should have a plan and think like generals or guerilla fighters. Prepare the attack, hit hard, withdraw. Prepare next attack, and repeat.Feb 11, 2019, 1:06 PMGreg RobertsAs an insurgency, you don’t have to win. All you have to do is not lose.Feb 11, 2019, 2:44 PMTravis BoydThe Yellow Vest movement is a fertile field awaiting seeds.Feb 11, 2019, 2:44 PMCaduceus MercuriusAgreed, although it’s difficult to get through to the French because so many of them don’t speak English.Feb 11, 2019, 2:46 PMZach QuarryI’ll be for hire.Feb 11, 2019, 4:25 PM
