Mediologists

You know what the metal barriers installed by the police look like in order to control our demonstrations ? From now on, it will be the left-wing individuals who put them in place, observes our mediologist, Jean-Yves Chevalier. Here is his opinion.
However, I am a good student. I only travel by bike (not, to tell the truth, out of love In order to “gentle mobility” but because our buses are no longer moving). I conscientiously decipher the parish letter sent to me by the district town hall. I also have difficulties. “A united end of the year for everyone”, Is it recommended to me?, in title. J'acquiesce, naturally, but the “t” at Our end of “everything” gives me problems.
Especially since, with elsewhere, I am told that a place will be renovated in order to make it more “attractive for all our users”. It's not that I prefer the renovation of a place to a united end of the year, but I understand better the “all you s” of the second formulation since I can read there the whole of and all. Are there any spelling mistakes inclusive? ?
While waiting for the renovation of the places, Parisian elected officials are therefore devoting themselves to the renovation in language, Thus, I understand that it is a heavy task for them. Personally, the scraps of grammar that I acquired in a then popular school in the same neighborhood, there is extri?a long time is good, prevent me from properly appreciating this ?important work. Remediation is probably necessary and perhaps the time will come for a re-education course where I will be taught to free myself from the old forms of a guilty language, yet written in books that have enlightened my smiles?ves.
Consensual ugliness
I have written municipal prose which will have to be, under these conditions, a full-time occupation which forces our elected officials to let original initiatives put forward fallow during free time. So the landing, during the first confinement of spring 2020, barriers – secured together and fixed to the ground – intended to prevent car parking, in the little rue Brezin, close to the town hall of the 14th arrondissement. You know, metal barriers installed by the police in order to control the demonstrations. A real left marker, ces barrieres little armenia, except that, previously, it wasn't the left-wing guys who had them put in place.
A sign hung on a barrier indicates to the passerby that this remains will do a lot for him : « Python, browse here more stress-free ». It's a little hard to believe, since we are in no way going to get off the sidewalk to get back on it a few meters further. Or it is planned to walk with one leg on the road, the other on the sidewalk, leans like a sailboat, this is perhaps the reason for the use of the term “navigate”. Above all, barriers prevent you from crossing a store (certainly outside the zebra crossings but we stay in France) except to take advantage of the few boats – driveways, we sometimes say nicely – which unfortunately never seem to be located symmetrically in the impasse. A real Berlin Wall between even and odd numbers, two sides one street become strangers.
Supported around the barriers were installed bins, halfway up, with some green and brave plants. Eighteen months soon, the set is i each time. Nothing has moved. Like a troop that goes out and then returns to its camp, the city councilors apparently no longer gave any sign of life. The land was abandoned, like after a disaster, if we leave it as is while waiting for the insurance expert. Some barriers were removed from the roadway and regained their freedom, plants survived, opinionated and malicious. My traders on a street seem to have no news and their patience arouses general admiration.. I have a consensus on the ugliness of the whole, but we are not going to take offense for so little.
Who believes in delivery men ?
If at least ? I agree that there are more serious problems in Paris and elsewhere. Street planning is the responsibility of a municipality., local residents will be voters, they harvest your that they elected. However, you don't need to be a semiologist to understand that the little things will make sense and will be more revealing than they seem.. Revealing, ici, of an obsession, the “arrangement of space” and a blindness to those who work there. Given that it is appropriate to focus on the main “victims” of your uncontrolled development. These are not the local residents, residents of the neighborhood, our walkers.
My “victims” do not live in Paris and do not vote there?re. The delivery men appear first, forced to stop near the famous boats sometimes a little far from the delivery address in order to then return to drop off possibly heavy packages. There is no longer any option for them to park in the middle of a street. (even if it means realizing oneself and being bullied), since it would then be necessary to pass over the barriers and the 110 meters hurdles was not run at the Olympics with packages within the arms. It's good, delivery men, we don't think about it?re. My garbage collectors, we don't think about it either. They must bypass our barriers, grabbing trash cans, drag them to the sidewalk, find a passage and return to the truck In order to dump us there.
Sense of priorities
I don't like it ? Look who you're forgetting, I will tell you who you are. The activists of the old world never knew that the language was fascist but they knew the difficulty of the projects that they had sometimes carried out themselves.. They focused on defending those who worked in difficult professions, they weren't ruining their lives, they were in no way the left nightmare for them. My barriers on rue Brezin are the symbols of separation of a new left and the working classes which translates into the miserable percentages that the voting intentions promise.
People on the left, Really, Who, haunted by the noble mission that is theirs (save the metropolis, to the planets, erasing the traces of this everywhere remains unbearable for them) are so ignorant of the lives of those on whom they impose the consequences of their decisions ? Our smoke from trucks, who scares them, hides from them the drivers of these trucks who have never demanded that we deconstruct the language but that we respect a project.
