Like apparently the French government tried to make protesting illegal but that just made the protestors angrier? Apparently police have started to side with the protestors? Does anyone have any up-to-date news on the extent of what’s happening?
The only 80’s to bring back. 20th century version was absolute worst: reactionary RW extremism, Wall St greed, worst fashion and music, ugly fanatical nationalism.
Fitting, though, violently overthrowing the government is practically their national pastime
Yeah the French have a reputation for it for a reason. Yeah they have a history of fuckups but I believe strongly that the French revolution was instrumental and influenced the revolution attempts of 1848. None of them directly succeeded but it led to a lot of democratic reforms and kings that realized if they didn’t retire to figurehead status eventually their heads would roll.
And the funniest part is the French originally didn’t want to behead Louis The Failson. He tried to get foreign backing and get reinstalled as an absolute monarch and people realized having him around was a liability. So they brought out the ole choppy boi.

Exact same thing that happened to Tsar Nicky. Funny how they keep making the same mistake.
Amazing how pitifully pathetic Twitter’s become. There’s absolutely nothing worth looking at in the trending. Total celebrity sensationalist garbage. How the fuck does anyone find out about anything anymore, besides coming here? Need some good sources to follow , especially specifically on this hopeful uprising.
I’ve been watching random livestreams of the protest on Tiktok and there is a ton of on the ground organizing. Lots of orgs in troupes with big flags.
There is also a bunch of hilarious shit going on too: conga lines, a guy dressed up as Waldo (or Wally if you are in europe), and people dancing around flaming garbage. It’s very :bloomer:
Going from swearing on a giant colonial Bible to hiding in a tiny box from angry mestizos is a really funny turn of events.
ours de l’hexagone, give us your takes!
