President Macron blames video games and social media for the French riots. Apparently, the French Revolution happened before the invention of video games and social media. I always thought the French did rioting or revolutions better than anyone else?!

@ridwan He should really grow up and start paying attention to reality. He’s not all that bad, but sometimes I feel he’s a little bit of a spoiled teenager.

@odd I'm not sure how to respond to "not all that bad". As a leader of the country, I would expect him to engage and address the concerns of the people. I do not see him as someone who likes to be criticised. I agree with him on social media fuelling protests. The real question is what his government is doing to address real issues of the Republic?

@ridwan I meant overall, although I don’t follow the news day to day… Yes, unless he wants another French revolution, it’s better to pay attention to the discrimination and inequality that is.

@ridwan they do. Yet, the apparent young age of many rioters is troubling.
