My latest on the madness unfolding in France

So this is the fool that has been arrested for this horrific arson: “French police have arrested Hodei Ciarra Docampo, a 34-year-old far-left militant, in connection with the arson attack that destroyed the historic 19th-century Limoges Town Hall during nationwide riots.”

You show you don’t know what you’re talking about if you think the rioting and violence this weekend was about “students”

Merci @lemondefr pour cet entretien approfondi, consacré à mon livre ainsi qu’à certains contrastes et similitudes entre les États-Unis et la France. Les idées et les arguments développés dans L’Été de notre colère résonnent avec les troubles actuels d’une manière presque troublante.

It’s hard to put into words how upsetting these images are

Beautiful light this evening in Paris (they can’t deface the sky)

Not a single French flag in sight

Protests in Brussels now, too. “People don't have ideas. Ideas have people.” —Carl Jung

Well done
