A viral meme has been circulating over the past months of lockdowns, travel restrictions and general uncertainty. It says, “Can we all agree that in 2015 not a single person got the answer correct to ‘Where do you see yourself in 5 years from now?’”
On 16 October 2020, a middle-school history teacher was murdered in France by a radicalized young man, who in turn was shot and killed by the police.
Thousands filled the streets to pay homage to Samuel Paty, the beheaded teacher who was killed after showing his students a Charlie Hebdo cartoon depicting the Muslim prophet, during a class on freedom of expression. Five years ago, thousands mourned the 12 victims of the 7 January 2015 attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices.
