Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer analyze the massive protests and violence that erupted across France, exploring whether the unrest signals a broader crisis in Western democracies. They debate whether the riots stem from ideological factors—including post-October 7th activism and oppressor-oppressed frameworks—or from economic stagnation, unsustainable debt, and a broken generational compact. They examine France's failing growth model, immigration challenges, and the breakdown of social order, while considering whether this foreshadows future AI-driven disruptions and the potential collapse of Western political-economic systems.
