      You are saying that conservatists would burn a 140 year old building just to own the libs

        Elsewhere the crowd stopped a man from attacking a fire truck, and there is a reason English uses the French word for “agents provocateurs”

        Also have you been to France? 140 year old buildings are literally everywhere. it’d be nicer if this didn’t happen but the government could have chosen at any point to course correct and avoid this protest.

        Mobs have no more moral weight than an earthquake or typhoon, once they are set in motion. Leave people no other options and you get property damage.

        Why is this even a question ? Police infiltrate and break shit all the time to make protesters look bad on purpose it is a well documented fact. Yes they would 1000% do it.

        In France these buildings are everywhere. Part of the industrial revolution an mass migration from countryside to cities. Except for Paris, conservatives are more in to protecting buildings from the 18th century and before.

        I’d still guess probably not agents provocateurs for this one, but a 19th century building is just not that significant in France.
