Hey everyone, welcome back! Today, we are going to explore a significant incident unfolding in Europe's renowned cities, celebrated for their rich cultural heritage. What's even more surprising is the attribution of blame to video games, especially those with a violent nature like the violin video game and others. It is argued that the prevalence of violence in these games has a direct impact on people's minds, resulting in real-life acts of violence. This line of reasoning appears peculiar since video games are played in other countries too, yet similar incidents are not as widespread there. This aspect adds an element of intrigue and provokes thought.
One noteworthy aspect amid all this is the frequent mention of Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, India. In response to this, Yogi Adityanath's official Twitter handle addressed the issue by asserting that Yogi is indeed a role model, as evidenced by his actions. In this video, we will delve into the ongoing discussions and explore what is actually happening among the fans. There's a lot to uncover and learn about these issues.
Before we continue, here's a quick quiz for you: When did the French Revolution happen, and what were the reasons behind it? Share your answers in the comments below.
Let's begin by understanding the current situation in France. Over the past few years, there has been a decline in the population of native French people. Presently, France has a total population of around 67 million, with approximately 5 million native French individuals who have been residing in the country for centuries and are considered the "high Europeans." The rest of the population comprises immigrants from Africa and other Asian countries. A significant portion of the immigrant population hails from the Middle East and Africa. In the past 25 to 30 years, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of people migrating to France from outside, while the population of white Europeans remains relatively small. Furthermore, it is observed that the native French population often refrains from intermarriage, whereas immigrant families tend to grow rapidly. This has resulted in a diverse French society, resembling five distinct islands.
One significant area where this demographic shift is evident is in football. According to reports from Turkey's media, approximately 1,920 French players have African origins. Many French players also follow the Islamic faith. Additionally, in the Olympics, we can see that African immigrants in France have achieved numerous medals. However, upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that France still struggles with discrimination. Despite claims of equal opportunity regardless of race, immigrants living in poverty often face racism—a problem not limited to France alone. Similar situations can be observed in the United States, where the white population does not face similar issues, but the black population frequently does. For instance, the shocking incident involving Nahel Merzouk, a 17-year-old boy who was fatally shot in the chest by the police for ignoring a checkpoint while driving. Understandably, his actions were reckless, but he had no prior criminal record and posed no immediate danger. Instead of pursuing alternative measures, such as noting the vehicle's number and tracking it, the police chose to resort to shooting. Unsurprisingly, people are furious and find it difficult to comprehend how such a tragedy could occur. Nahil, an immigrant child from Algeria, has become a symbol of protest. People are rioting in his name, expressing their anger by setting fires, looting shops, and causing mayhem.
indicating that people are taking advantage of the situation to engage in unlawful activities, regardless of their actual concern for Nahil.
The ongoing riots in France have sparked public outrage. It is disheartening to witness the protests continuing for several days. Moreover, at the start of the unrest, there was a video circulating of the musician Elton John enjoying a concert while the country was in turmoil. Although it cannot be said that they were completely indifferent to the riots, the fact that they did not consider potential damage to their image and the history of similar incidents in the country raises questions. Adequate measures should have been taken to deploy more police or security forces at the outset to prevent small shopkeepers from suffering losses. It is worth mentioning Yogi Adityanath in this context because his image portrays him as a leader who takes prompt action. While it is true that he might take time to address certain issues, when a serious problem arises, quick resolution becomes imperative.
Today, families are facing this problem, where the police are more likely to arrest someone with darker skin while turning a blind eye to those with lighter skin. If the police perceive someone as an immigrant's child or African, they might resort to violence, or at the very least, act more aggressively. The UN has rightly emphasized that France must take responsibility for such incidents. Drawing a comparison to the video game GTA Five, which involves violence, is not a sufficient explanation. Instead, two crucial aspects need to be addressed: firstly, instructing the police to refrain from racism, and secondly, deploying security forces promptly at the first signs of violence. If these two mistakes had been avoided, the common people of France would not be suffering, and the country would not be burning.
