The image broadcast by one of the continuous news channels is particularly symbolic: on the giant staircase of the Saint Exupéry high school, chemin de la Madrague ville, an escadron of CRS (French riot police) is slowly moving to push back a hundred "blockers." No clashes, but an evacuation that seems unusually relaxed, perhaps unlike what the security service is accustomed to. Three young girls, elegantly veiled, remain seated on the steps. They immortalize their act of bravery through convulsive selfies, displaying smiles in the style of influencers seeking a buzz. Other times, other ways of expressing anger in the era of social media and reality television. This October revolution, fueled by a few individuals, recalls the atmosphere of May 1968, with the same humor and slogans, but likely different causes for a people in anger and undeniably lacking in hope. The Thirty Glorious years and their final barricades, according to historians, have nothing to do with the "ten calamitous" years that its opponents attribute to Emmanuel Macron. Therefore, let us smile as long as it is still possible, in front of the fertile imagination of a few students who are gently insolent, challenging the age of school buildings, the absence of teachers, or the overcrowding of classes. And especially Parcoursup, this selection machine judged by many as unfair and exacerbating social inequality. One could read on a hastily made cardboard sign this appeal to authority: "Remove Parcoursup, otherwise we will sell drugs." The rhyme is poor, but the message is rich in lessons. They are immersed in an increasingly anxiety-inducing world. The students mainly testify to a genuine anxiety about the future. They are immersed in a world that is increasingly anxiety-inducing, especially due to the continuous influx on the networks they overuse, of planetary information where imminent dangers (wars, recession, unemployment) compete with the darkest predictions (climate change, new pandemics, migratory overflow). As one now says about AI, the evident lack of humanity in the data that nourish the youth leads them irresistibly to despair. To convince oneself, the suicide figures among young people after the terrible episode of the pandemic attest to this malaise that exists in this population that is now loudly speaking out. They therefore take action, and scenes that are worrying have been seen from Marseille to Aix, passing through La Ciotat, with a taste of return, reminiscent of the yellow vests: the absence of leaders, identifiable slogans, or possible outlets. Here, it is RTM buses or a fire truck from the mariners' firefighters that have been looted and set on fire. There, it is a passerby on the usually tranquil Cours Mirabeau in Aix who receives a projectile in the eye. There, years after the liquidation of the naval shipyard disaster, it is a teacher drenched in gasoline by an individual hidden behind a surgical mask. On Tuesday, for the new day of actions "unitary," they will speak of "confluence of struggles," with, alongside the students, unions (CGT, FO, FSU), students, and teachers who will say that the "sprinkling" provided in the emergency by the concerned ministries, or the call for judicial repression wished for by the Minister of Justice, are not up to the questions raised on the public square by, according to the expressed sensitivities, "troublemakers," "rioters," "protesters," or for the more extreme, "the rabble."
