Vergangenes Wochenende gingen in Frankreich rund 75'000 Menschen auf die Strasse. In Paris eskalierte die Situation: Bei den schweren Krawallen kam es zu unzähligen Verhaftungen und es entstanden Sachschäden in Höhe von mehreren hunderttausend Euro.
Wie Huffpost berichtet, hat sich Pamela Anderson, ehemalige Badenixe und Playboy-Model, überraschend zu den Unruhen in Frankreich geäussert. Dabei ist klar: Sie sympathisiert mit den «Gelbwesten».
In ihren Tweets gibt sich Anderson ungewohnt philosophisch. Die Schauspielerin analysiert die Ursachen der Proteste und der Unzufriedenheit der Bevölkerung. Doch lies selbst:
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?

Instead of being hypnotized by the burning images, we have to pose the question where did it come from...?

And the answer is: it came from the rising tensions between the metropolitan elite and rural poor, between the politcs represented by Macron and the 99% who are fed up with inequality, not only in France, all over the world.

The true question is whether the disobedience can be constructive, what comes the day after, can the progressives in France, and all over the world, use this energy so instead of violence we have images of constructing equal and egalitarian societies?

Für viele kamen Andersons Äusserungen überraschend. Dadurch rief sie durchaus positive Reaktionen hervor – andere waren weniger beeindruckt. Hier ein paar Beispiele.
Today I learned that Pam Anderson has better politics than 99% of cable news hosts and I am here for it

Yes! First things first throw out everything you thought you knew about Pam Anderson, my lecture will begin with....

Wow thanks for using your voice to raise up attention to the problems the world is facing. We workers are tired of all this, we work to barely be able to pay our bills and feed ourselves.

It's way more complicated than this Pam. Oversimplification is a very dangerous tool when dealing with such issues

Y'all do realize when you RT that Pam Anderson tweet that you're supporting a movement that is protesting pro-environmental taxes on oil, right? These rioters are also assaulting journalists. So yeah, I'll never support these destructive displays of populism.

Mindestens eine Person ärgerte sich darüber, dass einige User Anderson eine politische Aussage nicht zutrauten.
I find it pretty damn annoying that people are SO shocked that Pam Anderson can understand complex concepts. I disagree w/ her politics, oftentimes, but she's not a dummy and never has been.
