You got that right Paul. This war is insanely absurd. Those against this war be they The left, The right, The Socialists, The Capitalists
-They all spin it according to the tribe they represent but united their voices could put an end to at least this absurd war. Stop the Killing. Stop the Maiming, the Raping of our Planet.
The U.S, is very good at pushing people they can't control to a point of no other choice so they can retain some facade as liberators and not self interested monsters fronting the MIC. Ukraine has been a strategic desire for the US and Germany especially, since WW1. Personally, I believe Russia became a problem that needed to be solved when they interrupted the most brash, arrogant and guiling,... or( treacherous, cunning; skillful deceit ) 7 countries in five years plan that had already left hundreds of thousands dead and gave Europe an unprecedented refugee crisis that gave rise to the right from a populace that didn't see it coming.
Then came Russia to the aid of Syria. Keep in mind, the end game of the 7 in 5 plan was Iran. So, some of the people that are pro-peace in general, are especially so here, understanding the players and their lack of concern for Ukraine, Germany, Europe and the Middle East. I believe reckoning is coming. It started with BRICS, it's rising and the weakening dollar.
I don't share your passion for revolution, but think "revolution" is beside the point. It is happening anyway. Russia's war-of-aggression and the Moscow-Beijing Axis are bringing about welcome new world foreign policy alignments. Hopefully this movement will find enough momentum to carry planetary civil society toward deep revisions in the United Nations Charter. A multipolar world with meaningful choice for all is happening. Not only is it inevitable, but it is, in my opinion, highly desirable.
As for what is happening in France, a wise person pointed out that work expectations have changed over the past 40/50 years. Macron's reform seems to of a One-Size-Fits-All category and failed to account for lifestyle changes and the "new flexibility" afforded by digital media and remote work.
The bitterness that most French people seem to feel arises from the Macron government's authoritarian resort to article 49 paragraph 3 (the so called 49.3 clause). The Constitution of the Fifth Republic (adopted in 1958) was made necessary inn the first place by a generalized breakdown of the French parliamentary system as constituted in the Fourth Republic (1946 to 1958). Constitutional Article 49.3 is draconian and there is no question about that. Originally, what made the article necessary was the need to press "reset" when the system stalled.
Macron has made impolitic use of this constitutional clause as if he were defying the (divided) opposition to pass a motion of censure. If any of the cesure motions rececently voted had passed, Macron would have found himself obliged to renew his mandated either by naming a new prime minister, or in the worst case, dissolve the national assembly and call for national elections.
The Kansas City Times was quoting me over 2 generations ago publishing these brief excerpts out of so much more. “He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November TO DO GOD'S BIDDING: To tell the World, from Kansas City, this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered [...] He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of BABYLON,” he said.” [...] He wanted to bring to the Public’s attention an “idea being put out subtly and deceptively” by the government that we have to get prepared for a War with Russia.”
Because of that part of my Curriculum Vitae, BEFORE February 24, 2022 as the US was reporting on the buildup of 140,000 Russian troops on their side of the border without reporting the buildup of 100,000 Ukraine forces facing the Donbas, I started going to the OSCE website DAILY to see the Truce violations between the Ukrainian government and the Russian speaking UKRAINIANS the Ukraine government was shelling since the 2014 US/CIA orchestrated Coup/regime change of the elected Russian friendly Ukraine government, changing it for the US proxy anti-Russian government, precipitating the 8 year uncivil WAR in Ukraine.
The WAR already started by the fact the Truce violations dramatically increased between the Ukrainian government and the CIVILIAN Russian speaking UKRAINIANS in the East bordering Russia with up to 2000 violations a Day, PROVOKING the Russian SMO to stop the Ukrainian aggression.
I'm disappointed I won't be able to read you any more Paul, since my only income at 79 is Old Age Security with the Supplement of $1311 USD/month to pay rent, utilities, food, car expenses and everything else. You and too many other sites have priced themselves out of my ability to pay.
Absurdity!

It seems to me this is "Democracy" at work.
