Time to play some Rush
Take notice America
Are you saying we don’t protest? Because I’ve been to 4 protests this year and was suppressed by police at 2 of them. What am I taking note of? The fact that so many people on here get a hate boner for Americans just as much as they do for Trump?
God I’m so fucking sick of this attitude. Americans are trying to fix this. How about you go get maced and shot at by the police and then tell me how much you want to do it again? I have a sneaking suspicion that the vast majority of people with your attitude would turn tail or stay home in our exact situation.
Well, yes, but first it went very badly for the students.
Paris has been redesigned in the XIXth century to contain revolts: the wide avenues are hard to block with barricades , and in straight line, so it’s always visible from the main police barracks that are located on the big squares at each end. Also, since 1930, almost all strikes have to use the same route between 3 places: Republique, Bastille and Nation.
So basically, we’ve been storming the Bastille weekly for 2 centuries.
But MAGA keeps telling me France has burned entirely to the ground because of Muslims! They wouldn’t be saying that just to promote Islamophobia and racism, would they? /s
The US should take notes. No one is as efficient at protesting as France.
If they don’t fear you, they wont treat you fairly.
it happens here but it goes ignored with the largest happening during trump years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_and_demonstrations_in_the_United_States_by_size
Do you have any idea how protests in France work? Size is not what counts. They will burn down the whole city if it has to be. Garbage cans and cars regularly get ignited and flipped over. Pure chaos in the whole city for DAYS, if not weeks, not just a couple hours. And they are all ready to answer police with violence, if they are violent towards the people.
No Kings etc is just a nice get together with a bit of cosplay.
(of course I am exaggerating a little bit, but don’t ever compare US protests to French protests)
For Americans, doing the protest is an end in itself. They’re a way for comfortable white liberals to telegraph that they’re “on the right side” and “the good ones” so that they can return to doing nothing after a few hours of waving signs around and posting photos.
There is never any plan to escalate, never any thought to what happens if their demands aren’t met. The US does parades. Bring the kids, it’ll be fun- you can LARP participation in democracy.
So… France protests the same way Eagles fans lose. Noted.
/s
oh yea we’re not france also US is far more of a police state by comparison and far, far larger
The Irish revolutionary, Gilles O’Teen will be there again this time around as well. And all other future times in this seemingly endless cycle! /s
I think the previous time was the yellow vest movment (gilets jaunes) ; and the gouvernment got saved by Covid…
