    « Parce que ces abrutis qui viennent foutre le bordel pendant ces manifestations, ce sont tout puissants, ils savent qu'ils ont l'impunité totale, ils savent qu'ils n'auront rien. Donc ça aussi c'est intégré. »

    « Et ces individus, qui se comptent par millions sur notre territoire, sont d'ailleurs chauffés à blanc par une extrême gauche qui voit en elle un réservoir électoral. D'où l'ironie de voir des députés France insoumises mis face à ces manifestants violents qui sont en réalité des […] »

    « C'est le seul cadre dans lequel... l'emploi de la force par les forces de l'ordre est légitime, »

    « sont franchis, ils n'ont aucune limite. Chaque fois qu'il y a eu des incidents, des dégradations, des prises à partie des forces de l'ordre, il y a eu des interventions de police, conformément aux instructions que passe le ministre de l'Intérieur, et c'est normal. »

    « Et heureusement que la police est là pour encadrer tout ça, parce que imaginez juste tout ce qui se passerait, que ce soit moi ou les autres, tu vois, s'il n'y avait pas la police pour réguler tout ça. La police qui apparemment tue, tue, tue, on a analysé ça en live. »

The periods

The theme, year by year.

Political sentences on the theme by period; click a period to show it. The number also depends on the share of videos transcribed, which varies a lot from year to year.

How the arguments are drawn

The theme’s political sentences are drawn at random by period, with quotas per orientation and a cap per channel and per video. Our local model reads the sentences without knowing their channel or orientation, groups those making the same argument, separates those reporting it in order to contest it and sets aside those off the theme. Orientation shares and quotes come from the sentences, never from the model. The last seven days are read again every day.
