In this video, a retired philosophy professor analyzes high school mobilizations and riot-like movements. He argues that rioting is a response to situations where the survival or dignity of individuals is threatened, citing the Yellow Vests as an example. The speaker claims that burning trash cans symbolizes the feeling of being treated as waste by the system. He places these events within the framework of a "permanent civil war" between dominators and the dominated, linked to the class struggle. Finally, he views the riot as a way for young people to create a "collective body" in opposition to digital isolation and systems of domination.
