France has desended into kaos, 80000 troops trying to gain rule of law again.

It's Antifa, free palestine pro hamas, trans activists and other far left groups that are trashing the country so that they can destroy it and rebuild a better more inclusive fairer society or so they think.

Yeah right, most of them probably can't make their bed. I don't know how progressives can look at this kaos and think the radical left is benign.

We are 10 years behind France but many of the policies leftys in Australia support lead to the same place. Destruction and kaos.

Can't blame Trump or Israel for whats going on in France..... or can you?

Police have fired teargas at ⁠protesters as more than 250,000 pupils, teachers and parents demonstrated across France on the biggest day yet of a campaign for better high school conditions that has been marred by often violent clashes with police.

My algo reckons it's teachers, parents and pupils protesting about better high school conditions.

"Intelligence is correlated with a range of left-wing and liberal political beliefs. This may suggest intelligence directly alters our political views. Alternatively, the association may be confounded or mediated by socioeconomic and environmental factors. We studied the effect of intelligence within a sample of over 300 biological and adoptive families, using both measured IQ and polygenic scores for cognitive performance and educational attainment. We found both IQ and polygenic scores significantly predicted all six of our political scales. Polygenic scores predicted social liberalism and lower authoritarianism, within-families. Intelligence was able to significantly predict social liberalism and lower authoritarianism, within families, even after controlling for socioeconomic variables. Our findings may provide the strongest causal inference to date of intelligence directly affecting political beliefs."

Gee, thanks bono. That explains why I don't understand how men can get pregnant. I'm just not intelligent enough.

After the weekend you might wanna hit F9 and get your algo to update, MSN.

Although, if I am understanding what Omar is trying to say, then apparently superior intelligence makes people burn down town halls and loot high-end French fashion boutiques. In which case I'se is thinking I might like being dumb.
