“Vous n’avez rien compris” reactionaries in my mentions 'explaining' that mocking the execution of a black man [George Floyd, Eric Garner, take your pick] is actually progressive commentary on racism in the monarchy.Deep,les gars, real deep
w/allies like this who needs Le Pen?Show this thread -
The royal family have been relentlessly dragged on social media for their racism & colonial history all week. Thousands of people managed to make hilarious, incisive, cutting satirical memes without needing to trivialise a black man being suffocated by police in broad daylight

By contrast, C-Hebdo took all this time to come up w/the usual faux-intellectual reactionary trash, barely distinguishable from Breitbart/CNews/Valeurs Actuelles diatribe. We don’t have to agree whether it's funny, but don’t insult our intelligence by insisting it's 'radical'

These ghouls don’t care about C-Hebdo's quotidien racism being called out, I’m sure they ‘wear it as a badge of honour’ like their ideological bedfellows. They're only offended their brand of l’exception culturelle is being recognised as the reactionary trash they reduced it to

And to the handful of fools legitimising/rationalising the murder of journalists, you’ll find no solidarity from me. As Manga Saint Hilare says: "Far away, keep these paigons far away, All these eediats far away, Bad mind people, far away, so far away..." https://youtu.be/glgmC8JFfaY pic.twitter.com/k3sVI7ooWD
