The amount of governments that openly admit to doing this just to piss people off and oppress them is astounding. It's the sort of thing you used to only hear from communist dictators who run networks of gulags. It doesn't matter if you're vaxxed or unvaxxed, if your leaders are saying this than you have evil leaders and it's absolutely, 100% morally just to fuck with the government and anyone who works for it in any way you can.
About this, the media tells us that our poor MPs are threatened. In my opinion, it is more than likely that most of them have sent these emails to themselves.
Here are a few recent examples:
--
Several MPs from the presidential majority have received death threats linked to the government's health policy in recent days, as they examine the bill transforming the health pass into a vaccination pass on Monday 3 January. Some of them announced on Twitter or to France Bleu that they would file a complaint.
These included LREM MP for Seine-et-Marne, Michèle Peyron, to whom an email promised a "massacre to come", LREM MP for Oise, Carole Bureau Bonnard, to whom an email announced "you're going to get bullets", or LREM MP for Creuse, Jean-Baptiste Moreau, and Horizons MP for Val-d'Oise, Naïma Moutchou, who both received roughly the same message, namely: "You only deserve to be shot at in your home and have your head cut off". In addition, at the end of December, the garage and car of the LREM MP for Oise, Pascal Bois, were set on fire. The wall of his home was spray-painted with the words "Vote no, it's going to blow up." This elected representative had already received a letter with a bullet six weeks earlier, at the time of the vote for the extension of the health pass.
These MPs responded by showing their determination. Valérie Petit, an Agir MP and member of Édouard Philippe's Horizons party, who has also been threatened, assures us that her "vote will never be dictated by fear" and believes that "it is urgent to combat violence against elected representatives as well as the evil joy it provokes, which plays into the hands of populists". The Horizons MP for Seine-Maritime, Agnès Firmin Le Bodo, called for "not getting used to" threats against elected representatives and said that "it is urgent that the political class as a whole acts" because "it is our democracy that is in danger".
(Here's the mail she claims to have received)
"
I'm seriously thinking of beheading you
I can only think of one thing all the time: to come and behead you.
I think about it so much that I often have dreams about it even though I don't remember everything.
The reason? your collaboration, heads must fall, and I am ready to come and cut your head off to show my firmness against the dictatorship.
For this occasion, I bought several knives more or less adapted, and I am especially wondering if a mini axe is functional.
I'll probably have to bring more material than I need to make sure I don't miss."
On the other hand, several elected representatives announced that they would file a complaint. Aurore Bergé, LREM deputy for Yvelines and deputy president of the LREM group in the Assembly, who called for a "common front against violence in the public debate" in the Journal du Dimanche, said on Twitter that she had made an appointment to file a complaint this week after threats. The MoDem deputy for Yvelines, Bruno Millienne, also indicated on the social network that he would file a complaint. LREM MP for Loiret Stéphanie Rist and her MoDem counterpart from Meurthe-et-Moselle Laurent Garcia are also going to file a complaint, as they announced respectively to France Bleu Orléans and France Bleu Sud Lorraine.

This was minutes before the law commission moved on to study the vaccine pass project. The LREM deputy for Yvelines and president of the committee, Yaël Braun-Pivet pulled out a letter she received urging her to vote no.
"If you do not vote no to the text, all of France will remember the National Assembly as a giant bloodbath, where the bodies of those who thought they were governing us will lie. The threat is serious because actions will follow," read the deputy, who also echoed the incription "Vote no" and "It's going to blow!" painted on the wall adjacent to the garage burned down by LREM deputy Pascal Bois in the Oise region on Tuesday night.

Around 50 MEPs received an email threatening them with death on Tuesday 28 December 2021. The email also included the personal addresses and landline telephone numbers of the 52 MPs.
"This is only the beginning, you will pay with your blood for the quarantines, the health pass, and all attempts to hinder our freedoms," the message reads. "Our army is only growing, the people are angry that their freedom is being violated, and the need for punitive action against you, but also protective action for the people, is incredibly great. You are the problem", it also reads.
The targeted MPs belong to five different political groups, including La République En Marche (LREM), Les Républicains and Modem.
The MP for the second constituency of Manche, Bertrand Sorre (LREM), has decided to lodge a "complaint against x for death threats". He considers these "threats" and this "expression of hatred" as "attacks on our democracy".

The deputies of Gironde are not spared from anonymous threats with extremely violent content. In Nord-Gironde, Véronique Hammerer and Florent Boudié experience them on a daily basis
"When your bloody head rolls on the ground next to your inert body, it will already be too late to regret [...] Vote well, be present, vote against the extension of the state of health emergency." This type of threat, Véronique Hammerer, LREM MP for the 11th constituency, has plenty of them in her files. They fall by the dozen, in the course of a political life that she did not imagine as violent. She is one of the fifty or so deputies of the presidential majority to have received death threats because of their support for the government's health policy, justifying the anger of Prime Minister Jean Castex. A practice that has become commonplace, encouraged by the relative impunity offered by email and social networks.
The rest is the same. "I'm going to kill you, do you think that voting for lockdown will have been without consequences? Your return to reality will be brutal, but it won't last long because I have a bushmaster rifle and the shots that go with it to kill more than one MP"; "One day you'll see the sun, except that it will be the last time. I will come and put bullets in you with a machine gun when your time comes. That's the price of collaboration..." The tone is always so martial, so definitive, the email addresses aggressive (death by bullet, death, gun...)...

Whether authentic or not, these messages are imbued with two central and fundamental elements that resonate in the brains of most French people: the "decapitation", as a reference to the "revolution", the revolutionary spirit, symbolised indeed by the beheading of King Louis XVI in 1793 (Louis XVI was trending on Twitter last night following Macron's announcements); and "collaboration", an allusion to "traitors" who sided with Nazi Germany between 1940 and 1944, which gave rise to vast purges starting with the "liberation" in the summer of 1944 where tens of thousands of people were killed, often quite savagely, and on charges that were not always founded. It was often a matter of the communists getting rid of troublesome enemies with a convenient pretext. In any case, in the collective imagination, the word collaboration has remained pejoratively as a synonym for traitor.
Thus, those republicans who teach us that their Republic was born thanks to the beheading of the King with a guillotine, who praise the violent and bloody revolution, who pay little attention to the purging of "collabos" whom they present as unequivocal traitors, see their usual rhetoric turned against them.
It's quite tasty, I must admit. After all, what greater tribute to the Republic than to cut off heads?
These people praise a system born from violence in the face of an unjust regime (in their narrative at least) and are surprised that people can think of violence in the face of their present iniquitous measures.
There are so many things I could add which I can't say here because it would derail the thread but Macron (and his "wife") is a shady, traitorous, depraved scum on more than one aspects. His early life is extremely nebulous, it has been proven that he lied about his diplomas and invented a non-existent thesis, he sold off French industrial flagships while he was a socialist minister of economy to the detriment of the country's interests, and many more…
