Reminder. 10 years ago you were fired from your job and ostracized if you pointed out that this was obviously going to happen.

Remember when Paris was filled with people from Paris? Lmao
@Ultrin
Meanwhile the European Union holds back the money Hungary deserves, billions of euros, only because they don’t let in immigrants, banned pride and refuse to send their soldiers to Ukraine. Let that sink in.

Government opens floodgates.
Flood happens.
Gov. Spokesperson: “This just came out of nowhere.”

If it continues to escalate like this, Paris will be mentioned in the future as a city that once was.
1998 was probably the high water-mark of French multiculturalism or what is known as ‘vivre-ensemble’ or ‘living together.’ ‘Unemployment was falling, the economy was performing well and France was winning,’ reflected the sports sociologist William Gasparini. The golden age didn’t last long. The economy began to decline and so did the vivre-ensemble. As early as 2002 warnings were being sounded about the ‘Lost Territories of the Republic’, where mainly Muslim communities lived separate lives to the rest of the country. The ‘re-Islamisation’ of young French Muslims accelerated as the internet began to evolve and extremists used this new platform for propaganda. In 2005, thousands of youths rioted across France after two teenagers died in a police chase. The then Interior Minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, described the rioters as ‘scum’ and pledged to eradicate them for the ‘good people who want peace’.
He didn’t. Now there is a new generation of thugs running amok in French cities. Many of those who have sacked Paris in recent weeks are not PSG fans. They are ‘barbarians’ from the banlieues who take advantage of any large-scale gathering in a city ― be it a May Day parade, a rally against pension reform, or a football celebration ― to display their contempt for all things French.
An editorial in Le Figaro on Sunday concluded that the previous night’s mayhem had nothing to do with football, rather: ‘It’s culture. Wanton destruction, violent assaults, slogans against the state, the police, and Israel.’ This explains why there is rarely violence at away matches involving France or PSG. The supporters who travel abroad are genuine fans who love their club and their country. The troublemakers who go on the rampage in Paris do so because they hate France. ― Gavin Mortimer
