All the comments on this about raising retirement age for France from 62 to 64 and ours is 67 (for us born after 1960). WtF?

We need to fight for us.

I think most of us (outside this circle) have lost the fight.

(Gateway Pundit) French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday used a special power to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote.

Macron shunned Parliament and invoked a constitutional power to impose a bill that has sparked protests across France.

Although the retirement age can't be as low as it has been without wrecking the tax base and economics of France, I admit that because Macron is so "lefty" himself, I don't care that other "leftys" are trying to fuck him up.

It's similar to the way that the "leftys" of Washington DC and America have so fucked up the US, I now no longer view the "leftys" of Beijing, etc, as necessarily all that much worse.

Thanks, "leftys!"

Re: Fiery Riots Erupt in France After Macron Uses Special Power to Raise Retirement Age without Vote (VIDEO)
Our governments work for us. Yet we let them rule over us to make us their servants. We work - they prosper. We take on debt - they prosper doubly. It’s time to take down their house. They are corrupt and they absolutely do not represent the people. They are all lining their pockets through insider trading, by investing in things we don’t get to invest in. The stock market serves only them and we are forced to place our retirement funds and meager investments in their system to lose money for them. It’s easy to see. It is a corrupt system that we - yes we- pay for. Look at members of senate especially - because they sit there and do absolutely nothing into old age- and see how their annual salary matches their assets - and look deep to find out where money to purchase their assets came from. Start at the top - yes Biden family corruption is obvious and needs to be prosecuted. Our judicial system is corrupt - look at payments and payoffs to judges - a deep rabbit hole to expose!! Go to corrupt police forces.

Starting at the top with Biden and trickling down through the money - should easily disclose the very top levels of money laundering globally and help identify those ‘agencies’ and corporations that do the job to cook the books.

Ultimately we should not give a penny more to help them rape us and make us slaves to their systems over us. We have to say “No”!! Collectively.

If we don’t expose them all - we will continue to be ruled by their corruption.

We are losing our voice, our children, our god given rights - to corruption on a national and maybe global level. We have to act collectively - we have to stop the corruption that is hijacking all aspects of our lives.

We need to be free. We need to grow our families as we determine is best for them. We need to benefit from our work and not work to pay debt to banks who simply issue debt based on nothing of value from them and simply charge us double or triple the value of our own assets and property to generate wealth for themselves. It’s a very bad system that keeps us acting as slaves to generate their profits and wealth - while we barely survive to pay their fees.

Someday I hope it will be realized that taxation on our work, our labor, by any government body is criminal. Someday I hope that we choose to dismantle government because we have learned that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. We don’t need to be governed if we agree on living peacefully.
 Quoting: afriendindeed


well said. These protests (not riots - yet) are not about retirement. Young people don't give a shit about that. No jobs, no future, too much corruption, too elitist an aire from Macron, energy and food costs, migrants by the millions - they are fighting all of those.

I totally despise Macron, but to be honest he's right about this.

He wants to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64. In the UK and Ireland it's 66. They'd give anything to retire at 64, let alone 62!

The French have always had the lowest retirement age in the West. Lazy feckers. And frankly it's just unsustainable.

It's 62 in the U.S. There is an incentive to wait as long as one can before drawing S.S. because the payments go higher with the retirement age which caps out at 70. It's actually pretty significant increments.

 Quoting: Tess.



Why is it not sustainable? With the present day technology (but also without it), it should be both easy and perfectly normal, unless one decides not to, to retire at 50.

And working hard, why? There has to be more to human life that being a hard worker. It reeks of despair.

Read up on e.g. the 4 Stages of Life in Hinduism ( [link to www.learnreligions.com (secure)] ) to see how higher human beings in advanced cultures approached the issue:


Grihastha: The Householder
This Second Ashrama begins at marriage when one must undertake the responsibility for earning a living and supporting a family. At this stage, Hindus first practice dharma, but also pursue wealth or material gratification (artha) as a necessity, and indulge in sexual pleasure (kama), under certain defined social and cosmic norms.

This ashrama lasts until around the age of 50. According to the Laws of Manu, when a person's skin wrinkles and his hair turns gray, he should leave his home and go out into the forest. However, most Hindus are so much in love with this second ashrama that the Grihastha stage lasts a lifetime!

Vanaprastha: The Hermit in Retreat
The Vanaprastha stage is one of gradual withdrawal. The person's duty as a householder comes to an end: He has become a grandfather, his children are grown up and have established lives of their own. At this age, he should renounce all physical, material, and sexual pleasures, retire from his social and professional life and leave his home for a forest hut where he can spend his time in prayers.

The hermit is allowed to take his spouse along with him but maintains little contact with the rest of the family. The role of the third ashrama is to be consulted as elders by the community at large, teaching dharma to those who visit. This kind of life is indeed very harsh and cruel for an aged person. No wonder, this third ashrama is now nearly obsolete.
