There will always be a rouge element that stirs up peaceful marches, no matter where.

We're on the cusp of something bigger than electricity was and although I am a gas engineer I look forward to the end of fossil fuels for the level playing field it opens us. In old industries big boys capture the market and establish monoploy none of which is good for our longterm development. On a new frontier merit wins the day because nobody can win based on the position they inherit. Because there isn't a position to inherit, it's actually you doing the developing.

My problem is virtue-signalling over the issue. There are too many people whose only skill is to talk or express their "creativity" and you look at older conservative types - who many not even believe in climate change - to do the kicking of the kids into STEM. We can't resolve the problem on good intentions alone we need the discipline of the nasty people even if they are hypocrites who lose a foot to obesity and talk of personal responsibility. The wrong people can be right for the wrong reasons.

"get a proper job" has an element of truth to it. Kids don't leave education with the skills they need in the real world and I chiefly blame the liberals for that. We need to separate the "get a proper job" that would have us working down a coal mine all our life from the "get a proper job" that provides our ability to concentrate and focus, the ability to choose to do something not because it is easy but because it is hard promotes the role of a stern father.

Modern parenting and mass immigration. Rather than reforming modernity we fill the country with people hit as a child by loving parents for the competence they bring to us. We import people who were raised by conservatives to do what needs to be done.

French police fired tear gas and made over a hundred arrests in Paris on Saturday as they dispersed “yellow vest” protesters attempting unauthorized rallies and black-masked demonstrators who disrupted a climate march.
Police had made 137 arrests in Paris by mid-afternoon and had pushed back around one hundred protesters who gathered on the Champs-Elysees shopping avenue, the Paris police prefecture said.
The government deployed a massive police presence as it feared yellow-vest supporters and other activists, including “black bloc” anarchists, would take advantage of authorized protests over climate change and pension reform.
The government deployed a massive police presence as it feared yellow-vest supporters and other activists, including “black bloc” anarchists, would take advantage of authorized protests over climate change and pension reform.
Some 7,500 police were mobilized, several districts including the Champs-Elysees were made out-of-bounds for protests, and over 30 metro stations closed.The climate rally saw sporadic confrontations between police and masked demonstrators who had infiltrated the march.
Groups wearing black clothing associated with the so-called black bloc anarchist movement formed barricades, set fire to bins and a motorbike, and threw paint over the front of a bank.
Similar skirmishes occurred later in the march with the prefecture again attributing violence to black blocs. Police responded with tear gas.
The violence tarnished an otherwise peaceful march that brought thousands of people, including some yellow vests, onto the streets, a day after marches in Paris and other cities worldwide to demand government action against climate change.Demonstrators carried slogans like “End oil now” and “End of the world” while some held carnival effigies, including one of President Emmanuel Macron wearing a crown marked “King of bla-bla”.
The yellow vests, named after motorists’ high-visibility jackets, were holding a 45th consecutive Saturday of action. The movement emerged late last year, triggered by fuel tax rises and swelling into a revolt against Macron’s style of government.
Some of their protests have been marked by rioting, partly blamed on black blocs.
A separate march on Saturday was called by the FO trade union to contest the government’s planned overhaul of France’s retirement system. The proposed reform prompted a strike by metro workers on Sept. 13, shutting most of the underground network.
