L'Affaire GEOX de Strasbourg: TikTok Enflamme la France !

Hello, my friends. Gox or Gox. I don't know how to pronounce this brand in general, in French speech, the X at the end of words is changed. It's not pronounced. So I'm a little lost. This story has been making headlines in the media since yesterday. It's about a young woman who went to a store to get recruited a apparently as a student to work in front of the salespeople. She was apparently recruited and accepted and then when she showed up for her first day of work, she arrived wearing a veil. The manager freaked out and didn't want to keep her because he's against the veil. And then the story got worse. As you know now, there are several things that need to be considered to fully understand this case. There are many angles from which to look at it. The first angle is this girl is a tiktoker by trade. And you should know that on TikTok there are young people who indulge in stories, chatter, as they say, that are increasingly excessive with the sole aim of attracting attention. For example, this very morning I was watching a TikTok video that was reposted on Twitter. This video shows a young person with a sort of improvised wooden fishing rod, a sort of donut that is going to point at a police officer. So he gets arrested. Another one from a few days ago. I think we are in Morocco, but. But I'm not 100% sure. There are tram tracks and a tiktoker arrives. He sets down a table. He sets down a seat and then he sits down at the table. And then the tram arrives behind him and has to break. It stops a few centimeters away from him. It seems that this one was sentenced to prison. It seems that he got three years in prison in London. We had tiktokers who arrived. There was one who filmed and the other who randomly punched people. We had tiktokers who randomly knocked on houses and then came in. When people opened the door thinking it was the postman or someone else or a visitor or something, he would push the person, he would run inside and violate the person's home. So I'm not an anti TikTok person. I'm even happy that TikTok exists because TikTok is a revelation. It's not the one who creates this kind of scene. It's just a social network. But it's going to put them under the microscope. We're going to be able to see them. So it's entirely possible that this story falls entirely into the TikTok category, falls into the category of the girl who wants to make a fuss, who looks for stories and finds them and then suddenly there you have it. It's the consecration. It's the consecration because it appears in the national media, on television, all that. And so the scandal is good, that's all. There are a lot of tiktokers who are only looking for that. That's the first point, I think, to consider or not to lose sight of when looking at this story. Secondly, the second point, the guy was called a racist and all that. Well, I went to see, I went to see. I went to see the person who said he was a victim of this racism. And to be honest with you, and I think you know me, you know, if you look at my bio on Twitter, it says the son. Well, in a figurative way, of course, the hidden son of Jean Marie Le Pen and Arlette La Guiller. A lot of people laugh when they see Jean Marie Le Pen. A lot of people forget my Harlette La Guiller side, okay? It's not by chance harlot La Guiller, you know, we're Marxists only because of. So somewhere, somewhere in general, I am extremely opposed to the forces of money. In general, when an employee has a problem with their employer, I am instinctively and naturally and viscerally on the employee's side. The employee is always the weakest. So when I heard this story, I initially started out like this. I assumed the employer was guilty. I always assume the forces of money are guilty. That's automatic. When I watched the video, I realized something. I realized that the tiktoker in question or the student or employee in question is part of a visible minority. She is black. So she must have come across a racist guy saying that the guy is racist just for the sake of argument, for the sake of conversation, if the guy is racist, well, he wouldn't have waited for her to come in a veil for him to have the reaction that she had. So from the start he would have said, no, no, I'm sorry, we don't have any work these days. There you go. All the positions are taken. Or leave us a cv, we'll call you back. You know, the classic, you see quote. So the fact that the guy agreed to recruit her and at the start it's probably because he's not your primary racist. He's not the guy because. Well, we agree that if he had been the primary racist, we wouldn't even have gotten to this whole Vale thing and all that. So that's also an angle from which we have to Consider the story. I think, to shed some light, each story has to be seen, you know, from different angles so that we can fully understand it. Another thing, I've seen Muslims get carried away, right? Leave, boycott, give him blood, all that. And I think he doesn't realize the damage that this is going to do because it's taking on a national dimension. And in fact, the risk today is that there will be people who are scalded, who are afraid. There are employers who, while not being racist, because, you know, an employee doesn't always react with racism. Of course, there could be people who. I don't agree with that. I don't minimize it or anything at all. But we have to understand one thing. One of the first sensibilities of an employer is to avoid problems before we even get into the problems of racism and all that. As an employer, if I employ someone, it's because I want a job done and I don't want a problem. I'm not going to pay someone to come and solve a problem. That means that they come and do a job for me so that I find myself in the middle of a vote. City, you understand the risk with this particular outburst from the Muslim community against this guy, unfortunately, risks causing harm to a lot of Muslim women or those who are presumed to be. So in any case, you know, discrimination doesn't need to go to the heart of things. You know, it's based on appearances, because they simply say, yeah, but basically I have nothing against it. Basically, I have nothing against it, but I'm still scared. I'm still scared because I don't want any trouble. I'm not going to end up with the store closed. I'm not going to end up with this or that. So it's true that it's true that it's quite. It's true that it's quite tricky. Of course, we have to measure the impact she does without TikTok, she does without football, all that well, she'll have subscribers and all that's good, it's good for her. But the problem is that the community behind it gets caught up in this story because it reacts to emotion, it reacts to symbolism and all that. That's a bit trick. Now, let's look at another level regarding this story of secularism. There are lots of people who say, yes, a woman you see sometimes even in the street in a store, she wears a veil. Yes. I don't know if that's secular. No, the veil is not secular at all. No, the French Republic is secular. The French state is Secular people are not secular. The French are not secular. There is no secularism in France. There is no secularism in the street, there is no secularism in stores, there is no secularism in homes. People have different ideas. If I follow this logic of people who say, yes, secularism and so on, I'll tell you something. I'll tell you two or three things. First, if we had wanted to follow secularism absolutely in the streets and everything, we would have had to have a uniform in France. As soon as you arrive at the airport, you take off your clothes, you'll be given a uniform, you'll be dressed in a uniform, and then France would have stopped looking like North Korea. It's already starting to have the same repercussions with Macron and all that. I won't go into detail, it's not the subject of the video, but people are free in their everyday lives to wear the clothes they want to have distinctive signs, to have a cross, to wear a kippah, to wear a veil, to have lots of things, to have an ethnic tattoo, to have whatever. They have that right. So secularism doesn't apply to everyone. That's very important. It applies, for example, in the public service. It applies. There have been stories at school and so on where it has been repeated, but it doesn't apply. Like, yes, she can't work in a store. Because in that case, in that case, if a girl in a veil can't work in a store to be a salesperson, then the question arises if tomorrow there's a big Mercedes that double parks and two Saudi women get out with their driver and their cards that shine gold and want to buy it. Go or gox. Or gox. Would the salesperson or the store manager have accepted them? Or would they not have said no, ladies, I'm sorry, but secularism requires it. You have to go spend at the competition, but we can't take your money. You see, you have to be consistent. You have to be consistent. Now, another element of appreciation of this story is that if you look at it, I am still shocked. I am still shocked by the fact that French society has become a multi cultural society, therefore a multi conflict society. And things get worse very quickly. Let me give you an example. I arrive in the United Kingdom. I arrive in the United Kingdom. I arrive at Hitro Airport. The guy who is there at the border, the border force, the guy who works for the border police, well, he has his turban on. There you go. He's boo. He. He has his turban on. That's all, it's normal. Or it could be a girl. She's veiled. There you go. I give her my passport. She looks, scans it. Okay, welcome home. Thank you, Goodbye. It's completely peaceful in the United Kingdom, France. And if you want the impression that I have, I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you as it is. It's brutal. And you tell me what you think. I think fundamentally from a civilizational point of view, I think that wanting to just start one morning and create a multicultural society, I think for me it's heresy. From a civilizational point of view, it makes no sense. It's something relatively recent. There's no past civilization that did that, you know, a little bit it's like zintum gum, you know, no civilization that ate that in the past. So suddenly we had multicultural or multi religious civilizations, like the Roman Empire, for example. But it wasn't because they wanted to create multiculturalism at home. Based on their traditional fever, they wanted to create multiculturalism. It was more like an empire that expanded by eating up various geographical areas and countries. Eventually it integrated them and they came with their language and their religion and all that. But that's the empire, that's something else. That's another story. But if we take countries, if I take Sweden, the United Kingdom, France in general, in the history of humanity, it's an experience that dates back only a few decades to see countries do this. I know I come from Algeria. If, for example, Algeria launched a referendum to become multicultural, I tell you right away I would vote no. And I believe that 99.9% of Algerians would vote in the same direction. Okay, we agree on that. Now, once it's done, we've done it, it's behind us. It's behind us. It's behind us. It's already multicultural. I'm going to say at that point, we're not going to format people. I mean, let's imagine that Algeria becomes multicultural and we bring back, I don't know, we bring back millions of Japanese. There you go. We decided like that. It just crossed our minds. It wasn't me who decided, it was my grandparents. All that. Well, it happened. That's how it is. I'm not going to blame a compatriot of Japanese descent for eating sushi, for example. I'm not going to say no, I have to eat couscous. I mean, these ancestors were Algerian, but their ancestors ate sushi. So well, they want to eat sushi. What do I do? Who eats sushi? What? What Should I do? I have the impression that in the United Kingdom, for example, if I compare it to France, in the United Kingdom we have assumed multiculturalism, whereas in France it is not assumed. That is to say, it should not be done from the outset. That's what I think. It should not be done. But if it is done, let's follow the idea through. Do you see what I mean? Let's follow the idea through. Why would we want to create multiculturalism at the same time as saying no to secularism? And secularism, to be honest with you, secularism in general is opposed to Christianity. It is opposed to Christianity. The various ministers, presidents, etc. Have dinner at the Crif. That's fine. There's no problem. Breaking the iftar at the mosque. That's no problem. Having a live festival at the mosque, no problem. Going to celebrate in no illa synagogue is no problem. He's spitting Christmas. Oh, watch out there. There. That hits hard. That's secularism. Secularism is variable geometry. In reality, it's not. In reality, it's not. Many people say, you see, it doesn't apply to Judaism. But in reality, when you look at the law that founded secularism, it was a law that was very specifically aimed at the church. In fact, even the code, the text of the law, talks about churches. Don't talk about synagogues, don't talk about mosque. Do you see what I mean? Secularism came to destroy Christianity fundamentally. Why am I telling you this? I want to tell you something. Christianity, Christianity, because it will take us back to the Christian roots of France, because France has Christian roots. We agree on that. I think there are no Muslims. Look at me, I'm British. I'm very happy. The Queen of England signed. That's it. She's the one who chooses, right. It's her country. I mean, she drives without a driver's license. I mean, that's it. It's her country. She has the right to decide that someone joins her empire and that someone becomes a British subject. As simple as that. It's her right. Oni. So who told me think? No one can say, oh, yeah, I'm not sure. You're not really British to me. I mean, the day you occupy the throne of the Queen of England or the King of England, you can decide. Until that day, you just shut up. So what I'm trying to say is that if I look, if I look. I'm not going to say that the United Kingdom has Algerian roots. I have Algerian roots. Yes, but that doesn't mean that the United Kingdom has Algerian roots. The United Kingdom doesn't have Algerian roots. So France, if I look at its roots, they are not Muslim, they are not Jewish, they are not Buddhist, none of that. They are Christian roots. Now I would like to say to people who sometimes hold on to the Christian roots of France and who cry out about secularism, I would like to tell you that secularism is what destroyed your country from the start. Secularism is what destroyed you. Secularism is what cut you off from your roots. And it is because you have been cut off from your Christian roots in particular that you are now a country in terms of civilization open to all. Because a country must define itself by a certain number of elements. For example, by a language, by many things, by a territory and all that, a common history and all that. But also by religion. There are countries that historically have several religions. That is something else. But France has not historically been a multi religious country. So what happens is that by saying yes to secularism, secularism, I mean, the more you talk about secularism, the more you are becoming Islamized, the more you talk about secularism, the more you are moving away from your roots. I mean, I won't defend secularism personally. I think that there is something to gain with secularism. There is something to lose, but what there is to lose is much greater than what there is to gain. That's it. That was just a quick overview of this story that normally wouldn't be worth it. But you see, in France there is this, there is this temperature that is extremely high on certain subjects so that all you have to do is touch it and bam. We have this, we have this outcry, we have this explosion and that's it. Until next time, this Geox story will be forgotten. It will be forgotten. But until next time, until next time, we're going to go back to a kebab, a burger, a fried fish. Do you know what I mean? An entire country's heart will beat with these stories that are frankly not worth it. Thank you, friends. I'll leave you and I'll be back in another video, as they say. See you soon.
