00:00:00.000 So, over in Europe, you can see all these protests, it's all the omni cause.
00:00:04.000 It all looks the same.
00:00:04.000 A protest in Brazil against Air Bolsonaro looks exactly the same as a protest in France against Emmanuel Macron.
00:00:10.000 They all look the same, and they are backed by exactly the same people, all of them.
00:00:16.000 And they are all explicitly directed against the civilization.
00:00:19.000 So, here is a clip from over the weekend.
00:00:21.000 So, this protest that started in France, with hundreds of thousands of people supposedly protesting because there wasn't air conditioning in schools, but really, it's just a bunch of dispossessed, downwardly mobile, highly educated former college students.
00:00:34.000 And a bunch of immigrants from third world countries who hate the civilization that is now unsurprisingly spreading all across Europe.
00:00:41.000 In Italy, a bunch of protesters started right in front of the Coliseum where they were chanting, We are all Antifa, with flags from the flag of global loserdom, the Palestinian flag.
00:00:52.000 Again, that flag now represents just hatred of the West generally.
00:00:56.000 Like, what in the world does a protest in Italy have to do with what is going on in Gaza?
00:01:01.000 Absolutely nothing, but that's not what it's about.
00:01:03.000 It's about third worldism and a belief that the West is guilty for all the problems of the world that must be brought low.
00:01:08.000 Here they are outside, again, iconic symbols of Western civilization carrying the flag of the third world.
00:01:22.000 And they're chanting, we're all Antifa.
00:01:23.000 Hey, I thought Antifa was a myth.
00:01:26.000 I thought Antifa was a myth.
00:01:28.000 That's it, that's so weird.
00:01:30.000 Meanwhile, Nice, France, was being overrun with rioters as well.
00:01:34.000 Here's what it looked like over in France.
00:01:48.000 The destruction of Western civilization happening right in front of your eyes.
00:01:51.000 In Lyon, a rioter started a fire and then was asked about whether there were children in the building.
00:01:56.000 And he said, I don't care whether there are children in the building.
00:01:58.000 Points for honesty.
00:02:12.000 Things are going beautifully.
00:02:14.000 Really, really nice.
00:02:15.000 Over in Spain, again, Spain is governed by a left wing party.
00:02:18.000 In Barcelona, looters were trying to destroy the city bikes.
00:02:21.000 Those damned bikes, those imperialist bikes, we have to destroy the bikes.
00:02:25.000 That's the only way.
00:02:26.000 In the name of student air conditioning in France, we must, in solidarity, destroy the city bikes.
00:02:32.000 It's very important.
00:02:38.000 The bikes have to be destroyed, guys.
00:02:39.000 The city owned bikes.
00:02:41.000 The socialized bike system must be destroyed.
00:02:45.000 What wonderful folks there are all over Europe.
00:02:48.000 They've done such a great job of educating their youth and also importing an entire generation of people who despise the civilization.
00:02:54.000 The Democratic Socialists of America won primaries across the country.
00:02:57.000 Next, they're coming for Congress and they are coming for you.
00:03:00.000 If they win the midterms, they will defund the police, reopen the border, force men into women's sports.
00:03:04.000 That's just the beginning.
00:03:05.000 You are the last line of defense.
00:03:08.000 GOPvotes.org is your partner in the fight.
00:03:10.000 Go to GOPvotes.org right now.
00:03:13.000 Make a plan to vote early.
00:03:15.000 If you live in the critical Senate battleground states of Alaska, Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Iowa, or Texas, early voting is already underway this week, like right now.
00:03:23.000 Democrats are energized.
00:03:24.000 The stakes have never been higher.
00:03:26.000 We can't afford to have people like AOC and her communist friends running the show.
00:03:29.000 This is why I need you to make a plan to vote early right now.
00:03:32.000 Go to GOPvotes.org to find your polling location, vote early, and stop the socialist takeover of America.
00:03:37.000 Paid for by SLF PAC, not authorized by any candidate or candidates committee.
00:03:42.000 Here was one female Barcelona rioter trying to smash a store window.
00:03:45.000 But guess what she was wrapped in?
00:03:46.000 You're never going to believe what flag she was wrapped in.
00:03:48.000 You're not going to believe it.
00:03:49.000 You won't believe it.
00:03:51.000 You'll believe it.
00:03:53.000 It's good old times.
00:03:58.000 There they are wearing hijab.
00:04:00.000 You know, in compliance with Islamic law, you wear a hijab, you wear a Palestinian flag, and you try to break into a store.
00:04:05.000 That's what you do.
00:04:07.000 Things are going great over in Europe.
00:04:10.000 Well, The Economist tries to explain what's going on over the weekend.
00:04:12.000 Quote Even if some young protesters in France wear Algerian football shirts or chant pro Palestinian slogans, the upheaval in Europe today is not about race or religion.
00:04:20.000 Over 500,000 people marched in France on Saturday, and they were largely unmasked and white.
00:04:24.000 They were fired up, as in other countries, by the cost of living and poor public services.
00:04:28.000 They want more fuel subsidies, more spending on schools, more handouts.
00:04:32.000 Perhaps the largest group are aligned with the populist leftist Jean Luc Pélenchon, an aging rabble rouser and one time Trotskyist, more akin to Bernie Sanders than an emir of ISIS.
00:04:41.000 Real violence did follow, but blame that on other factors, none to do with race.
00:04:44.000 Mobs struck at public buildings, police cars, and more.
00:04:47.000 They also smashed and grabbed from luxury retailers like Louis Vuitton and small stores run by immigrants.
00:04:51.000 The police failed to keep order, having earlier been accused of brutality against student protesters.
00:04:56.000 And much of the violence was incited and orchestrated by anarchists who have a revolutionary political agenda.
00:05:02.000 Well, I mean, one French protester explained the violence wasn't really the big issue.
00:05:07.000 I mean, honestly, he's right.
00:05:10.000 He says the whole system is being contested.
00:05:12.000 This is correct.
00:05:13.000 This is correct.
00:05:13.000 Again, it's not that every person who's protesting is a radical Muslim, it's that you imported a bunch of radical Muslims who are marching in solidarity with people who hate your civilization, and then you're shocked by the coalition of scavengers trying to burn everything.
00:05:26.000 The youth, the people are revolting not just because of one little issue, but because of the whole system.
00:05:33.000 In the demonstration, people are singing, siamo tutti antifascisti, they are standing for Palestine, they are going against war.
00:05:43.000 It's the whole system that is being contested, and the role of the youth, the role of the young people also in this society.
00:05:52.000 So, the whole society needs to change.
00:05:56.000 The whole society needs to change.
00:05:57.000 By the way, you can see in the background the actual communist flag flying, like the actual flag of the USSR.
00:06:06.000 Things are going great in Europe.
00:06:06.000 So, here's the deal, folks elections matter.
00:06:09.000 Elections matter.
00:06:09.000 Don't usher into power people who agree with people who burn their civilization.
00:06:14.000 Don't usher into power people who wish to rig the entire electoral system if they got the chance.
00:06:17.000 Don't do that.
00:06:19.000 Get out and vote.
00:06:20.000 Again, one of the elements about all of these European riots that people keep pointing out as though they're giving you some sort of revelation is that it's not all Muslim migrants.
00:06:28.000 Right.
00:06:29.000 Nobody said that it was.
00:06:30.000 But this is the whole point.
00:06:31.000 A left, which is an admixture of communists and socialists, university students who aren't upwardly mobile, and people you've imported who hate your country.
00:06:41.000 That is the entire coalition.
00:06:42.000 And that coalition is, in fact, the only thing that unites them.
00:06:45.000 They don't care about what happens after.
00:06:46.000 The thing that unites them is hatred of the current systems.
00:06:49.000 Hatred of electoral democracy, truly.
00:06:51.000 Hatred of free market economic systems and private property and traditional Judeo Christian religion.
00:06:57.000 These are the things that unite all of these people in hatred.
00:07:00.000 It's why they all march together, and it's why they just shift the cause every so often, but it's the same exact people marching all the time.
00:07:06.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:07:08.000 Wasn't that amazing?
