mon ami-
while i absolutely believe you when you say this "That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway" please believe me when i tell you the following:
you cannot take this passive tone. you cannot accept that "this was done to me and is not our fault." it's on you to stop it because your self-styled elites will not.
whether they initiated it or you supported it will not wind up mattering: you tolerated it. you alllowed it.
the ultimate guarantor of the freedom and culture of a people is the people, not the state. "this was done to me" is passive acceptance of life as a subject. to be a citizen requires one to fight for those rights if someone tries to take them away.
there is no other option and doing so will get more difficult every day.
you have a group in your country whose explicit practice is to demand accommodation when weak than grant none when strong. they are feeling you out to test their strength and yours. they are assessing your resolve: not just what you can do but what you are willing to do.
if they win, they will push, if they fail, they will cry and demand more free stuff and more privilege and call you racist while they seek to grow strong enough to beat you next time.
islam does not co-exist with other cultures; it seeks to subjugate them and your new neighbors are used to and comfortable with levels of violence that you have forgotten. it will not pacify, it will intensify. accomodation will not calm it, it will encourage further attack.
as such, there is only one question: "what, if anything, are you going to do about it?"
"it's not my fault, i did not vote for this," will not protect you.
the cavalry is not coming. it's you. so saddle up or knuckle under.
those are the only two choices.
To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad:
Do not blame the French people for this.
We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no.
Here are the numbers your media won't show you.
70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today.
79% want a tougher immigration policy.
77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration.
83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home.
And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years.
This is not a fringe. This is the French people.
In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again.
That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway.
So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to us. A class of leaders formed in the same schools, the same forums, the same networks, loyal to each other before they are loyal to their nations.
In 2017, at Harvard, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, bragged about his Young Global Leaders program in four words: "We penetrate the cabinets." He added that it was true in France. Emmanuel Macron was one of his Young Global Leaders.
It's the same project in Brussels with Ursula von der Leyen and in Paris with Macron. Borders treated as an obstacle. Nations treated as relics. The people treated as a problem to be managed.
What you are watching in France is not the French people failing. It is the end of the globalist project, an abject, quasi-communist dream of a world run by unelected planners. It is collapsing everywhere in Europe at once, and the West has to cut this cancer out before it takes the rest of the body with it.
The peoples of Europe don't want this. They never did.
So when you see our town halls burning, don't say "the French chose this."
The French never chose this.
They were forced into it.
If you're French and you agree, repost this so the world hears it from us.
If you're American, look at us carefully. Then choose differently on November 3rd.
