No one said the loss of Notre Dame would be ok. Its a cultural loss. The connection is that it shows where your values and perspective are. As a country, you are responsible for damage to so many people's Notre Dame's and hardly bat an eye.
Because they aren't ours... You do understand that what is not yours is less important to you that what is yours no? If you want an example, you'll be pretty sad if terrorists killed your wife/husband even though as a country you have killed millions of loved ones accross the world.
You have to realize that the millions of people dying around the world are all fathers sons mothers, daughters and wives.
And? How does this change anything? Again, humans bread like bacteria, human life is probably the cheapest ressource we have. Human life is worth nothing.
Just to be clear, France is full of sensible people. So is the west. A lot of times it goes unnoticed as a silent majority in a society drowned out by peer pressure and reactionary social media posts. Deep down, i don't believe most westerners are so archaic in their morality.
Of course they are!!! People buy blood diamons, cheap electronics shit that are made by children, clothing made in horrible conditions... They do that everyday! They don't care! People ARE horrible why are you trying to give them excuses!!!
Yellow vests have called for a day of violence in response to this magical production of money nobody had when it came to meeting basic needs of the country.
"You're there, looking at all these millions accumulating, after spending five months in the streets fighting social and fiscal injustice. It's breaking my heart," Ingrid Levavasseur, a founding leader of the movement, told the Associated Press ahead of another round of planned protests across France this weekend.
"What happened at Notre-Dame is obviously a deplorable tragedy. But nobody died," Levavasseur said. "I've heard someone speaking of national mourning. Are they out of their minds?"
On Macron
"It took him less than 24 hours to speak about the fire, while he made us wait for three weeks before addressing our issues," she said.
"The Yellow Vests will show their anger against the billion found in four days for stones, and nothing for the needy," wrote Pierre Derrien on the Facebook page of a Yellow Vests group based in the southern city of Montpellier.
"If they can give dozens of millions to rebuild Notre-Dame, they should stop telling us there is no money to respond to the social emergency," said CGT trade union leader Philippe Martinez.
Unfortunately, the corporate media will not report any of this sentiment, nor will they report the police use of teargas and beating of protesters. The images are a threat to capitalism.

And so? It doesn't change anything.
Notre-Dame is a tragedy. Stop trying to say it isn't. The fact that our society is even a bigger tragedy doesn't change that.
