The Global Right’s Flimsy Arguments: Johannes Kaiser and Juan Doe’s Copycat Take on France’s Protests
On Tuesday, October 20, as rain and thunder lashed the central southern region of Chile, Johannes Kaiser began trending on social media platform X for closely mirroring a post about the protests in France that was published the previous day by Juan Doe, the digital content director for Milei in Argentina and a close associate of the now-detained Fernando Cerimedo.
Comments such as «tweets dictated from Argentina», «Milei’s minion», and «scripted speech» circulated, accompanied by numerous screenshots of the same post published by various far-right accounts and figures, including «Pancho Malo» among others.
A quick search revealed that Argentine Juan Doe had actually copied the publication about France from American actor Rob Schneider, who is infamously known for his transphobic and far-right stances.
Thus, as what one user called «the global right’s brief» proliferated, some citizens took the time to highlight the fragility of Kaiser and company’s arguments. This is what the former Chilean presidential candidate wrote:
«France has free public healthcare, free public education, a reduced 35-hour workweek, social plans for the unemployed, rent control laws, free preschool, extended parental leave, pension redistribution, industry subsidies, nationalized energy companies, regulations and taxes on coal, and strict environmental protection laws (…) France should be the dream country for the left, and yet, people take to the streets and set fire to EVERYTHING (…)».
The weakness of the argument is apparent at first glance, as the protests in France are precisely aimed at defending the established rights mentioned, which are currently under threat from President Macron’s austerity and cuts policies.
«At least we can acknowledge that Kaiser changed a few words,» noted one user, while another asserted: «France has those rights, yes. But the mistake is to believe they protest because of ‘insatiability’. They take to the streets because Macron imposed pension reforms by decree, cut education funding, and there is a lack of teachers. They aren’t asking for more; they are defending what they already have from cuts.»
