I despise violence...but what is the violence of all these people and burned luxurious cars, compared to the structural violence of the French -and global - elites?

What is structural violence?
-
Structural violence is a term ascribed to Galtung, which he introduced in the article "Violence, Peace, and Peace Research" It refers to a form of violence wherein some social structure or social institution may harm people by preventing them from meeting their basic needs.

Could you give an example please of structural violence in action?

#StructuralViolence: 1/2 My definition via typology: Conceptually? FROZEN Hierarchy or Equiarchy or Polyarchy or Anarchy. Socially observable as Acts of: Omission = doing nothing in the face of suffering/Economic Exploitation / Political Repression / Exclusion / Marginalisation -
Fragmentation / Segmentation / Penetration / Forced Separation as well as Forced Cohabitation that are INTERSUBJECTIVELY perceived AS IMMUTABLE
#INSULTSTOBASICHUMANNEEDS. That’s 13 criteria. For empirical specifics, listen to details of socioeconomic misery of the#GiletsJaunes.

It worked in the 60s when leftists retreated to academia and there was a socialist revolution in the 80s and 90s.
-
some have short memories
-
Pal, after leftists retreated to academia there were waves of neo-liberal/conservative austerity measures that focused on “market based” solutions that gutted America. Shit sucked. Direct action aka protests are what get it done.
-
protests are just a show of strength. when they work it's because of the implied threat of what they'll do if their demands aren't met

Yesterday I saw a CNN clip where they were acting as if Macron is the moral authority now, and they couldn't understand why Macron was talking to Muhammad bin Salmān. Macron has said he will support Saudi Arabia, and we've all heard this. Does CNN ever tire of gaslighting?
-
Macron is the moral authority of no one,
@CNN, so please knock off the 'Gee, Macron is such a great guy, look at him talking to Muhammad bin Salmān at the G20 and saying he's worried' horse shit. Good talk.pic.twitter.com/3aXFKdBiSw
