      The venn diagram of French people who protest/riot and French people who say “islamo-gauchisme” unironically is two distinct circles.

      The latter tend to despise protesters and cheer when the police beat them up. Except when the protesters are farmers, then it’s legitimate anger towards an incompetent and corrupt government.

      Thats false, but the far right love to peddle that lie. You also got it wrong, as it’s supposedly an insult to “woke” people or leftists.
