9
The riots are spreading from France to Belgium.

24
wow the 9th of october this is today they're taking selfies i know wow
25
russell's uh is where the eu is based Yeah, of course.
26
It's like their spawn point.
27
This could be a false flag to justify getting rid of the protest.
28
What do you mean it's a false flag?
29
You think these people are like net contributors to the country?
30
Look at them.
31
And the people in the video just waiting for it to be their turn.
32
wow
33
they're stealing the toys yeah of course they are let's see
34
if they're gonna get in are they gonna get in
35
and start stealing everything oh there's one
36
that got broken well now they're gonna feel more more more justified to break this one
37
because once the first one breaks then you can break the
38
next one there we go there we go they got the hammer
39
and there but yeah all right let's get everything out of there
40
and you can see they all just start they all start swarming it's a video game store yeah wow
41
what a shithole what an absolute shithole
42
interesting how they're harshly crashed down on peaceful european protests but handle violent foreigner riots with kid gloves i know
43
man so belgium is crashing out as well what a surprise
44
and i'll see
45
if there's any more of these here oh these are more of the student protests have also spread to belgium
46
why why would you destroy the why would you break these windows why would you do this how about that
47
absolute savages bro and look everybody's just sitting around letting this happen they are look Nidun!
48

49
Nidun!
50

51
Ablaza!
52
uh -huh look at him grabbing this grabbing this old man look at look
53
oh my god and this is this is another one in brussels It's not just a man,
54
it's a politician Yeah, that's true, that's a good point No, you're right Yeah, it's not actually a just random person Oh, here we go
55
just these screaming fucking just barbarians the old man is an anti -migration politician i would have never guessed
56
it's oh yeah it's a literal dumpster fire yep it's a
57
good thing it's raining there the green islamic unholy alliance is destroying belgium and france as well
58
Look at him.
59
Imagine being invaded this bad and you still don't even want to talk about it.
60
Look at all that.
61
Oh my god.
62
europeans allowed it they have they've allowed this to happen
63
and now these people are burning down their entire cities
64
if you give these people the ability to
65
if there are there is a critical mass of these people in
66
which they will just simply destroy the entire country there is i think that's pretty evident
67
it's so insane to be calling this a protest well who cares i mean anybody's saying
68
that just wants to destroy the city anyway
69
so it doesn't really matter what they're listening to
70
or what they're saying oh this is carrying out attacks
71
and after taking inspiration from french violence there's the right right destroy the security camera
72
that way nobody can hold you accountable for committing crimes i
73
don't understand why the government hasn't mobilized the militaries over there
74
because people again
75
because it will make women sad that's why that's why they haven't done it it will make women
76
and the sissy boys that try to appeal to them sad
77
man this is why rome fell i don't know about
78
that they don't need the military they just open it up to the public yeah
79
funny how these people would go to the countries because they're better
80
and then they destroy it
81
because they wanted as bad as where they came from i mean again they're going to the countries
82
because they can't like most people are opportunistic
83
and they don't really think beyond the individual instance of what they're doing like they don't care
84
or think about
85
that at all anyway it doesn't matter oh we saw this one yesterday yeah i don't know
86
if there's any more of these yeah here's another one that's
87
exactly what i worked for rum fell it's recorded history yeah
88
i mean i i'm not gonna get it the story how
89
rome felt well i'm not i don't know like i
90
when i said i don't know i'm not saying
91
that i disagree with you i just i mean i'm not like a huge expert in this
92
but i feel like any country that lets people like this do it that's going to have the exact same consequences
93
and there you go it's the same people all around the world
94
the same people every single fucking time are we sure they aren't just rioting
95
because they hate the bikes and they're throwing them
96
and burning them they're rioting
97
because they just don't like bicycles that's probably a good reason yeah i could see
98
that that's actually the real reason why the riots are happening definitely

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
