The Yellow Vests have burned a bank on Boulevard Franklin Roosevelt, along with several other stores serving the aristocracy.

First thought: A beautiful salute to the only REAL bankburner we ever had.

Better thought: There's one crucial difference. FDR didn't actually burn the banks. FDR saw that people were ready to burn the banks along with everything else. He CONTROLLED the banks and the monopolists to STOP the burning.

Best thought: Macron's agents provocateurs are busy. This bank is associated with the Rothschild family, thus completing Macron's goal of Nazifying the protestors.

FDR solved the problem of inequality by INCREASING the comparative power of ordinary people.

Macron and Merkel and Trump and May are making the problem worse by INCREASING the power of Juncker and Soros. Juncker is reproducing the Third Reich, and Soros is the only ACTUAL PEDIGREED ORIGINAL NAZI in the world. Now that the protestors are "officially" defined as "Nazis", the ACTUAL Nazis can resume their genocide without obstacles.

Stupid linguistic sidenote: When contrasting problem-solvers vs problem-make-worsers, the lack of a true antonym for solve is dramatically obvious.

Solve is derived from Indo-european se-lu, self-loosen. You solve a problem by loosening the ropes that bind your mind, or by untangling the component parts of the problem.

Online dictionaries list plenty of supposed antonyms, most of which are completely offbase.

Confuse, pose, question, wonder, bewilder, complicate, aggregate, bamboozle, baste, dumbfound, encode, encrypt, mystify, obscure, perplex, aggravate, tangle, twist...

Tangle and twist are literal antonyms of the original loosen, but they haven't gone through the same long history of metaphor, so they don't feel like proper antonyms.

Aggravate is probably the best of this weak list, but still misses the target.
