Guys, really France has been doing the same thing for years, so much that the government can turn almost any strike against the left in the general opinion or just ignore it. Tbf action in the US has yielded more results recently than in France.
People need to stop blaming politicians for their passive citizenry
There is no one who wants to sustain society like this, the only people pretending like society can be ruled so that everyone is taken care of are people who just want to get votes (Dems)
All of the rulers are assholes, but so are the rules who use it as an excuse to ignore how their own shortcomings are the real reason we can't actually revolt
The rulers aren't the reason why you're so quick to blame others and have no idea how to resist them
until they elect the RN/Le Pen. But maybe turnout will be low as always and they’ll riot again. Considering that Macron won twice only to be met with mass protests and strikes against his neoliberal policies.
All that would need to happen here is the Truck Drivers in America to strike for maybe like a week. Train operators too.
Like, it would be incredibly simple to get this to screech to a halt, but the people who CAN bring it to a halt won't
When the french government tried to raise the retirement age of train drivers from 50 to 55 in the 1990s, the transport unions went on strike for one month during which there were zero public transport in Paris resulting in permanent huge traffic jams in the city, took 4 hours to reach my office
This is actually kind of a problem for their nuclear sector because they need to renegotiate with the unions to set up a US-like model where they do mandatory overtime for 3-4 weeks to do massive refits and upgrades, but in exchange the next 1.5 years are easy-going AF.
Yeah that was 30 years ago. We tried again for the rest of the population 2 years ago, strikes even bigger, burning even more things, and Macron and his illeberal allies just said no.
they raised the retirement age recently. The strikes and protests were even bigger. But Macron and the liberals and his right-wing allies didn’t budge.
This statement is not true! at least for the last 40 years the legal age for smoking has been 18. We have sufficient disinformation from Russia and their friends. Please refrain from spreading more.
Well if it is how you like to see me... so be it 😀. Misinformation often start as a joke. I just tried to state what was the reality. Hopefully in a polite and respectful manner.
Dear US people, should you ever need a guillotine in the coming times, I am fairly sure we could ship one to you. No delivery fees, just a gift like we did for the Statue of Liberty.

Then, they perfected it! 🇫🇷
We have a lot to learn
it's not that we don't know how to organize, what to demand, etc
it's that people low-key know there's no going back, and they're procrastinating ripping off the bandaid
The only thing our politicians are afraid of is not raising enough money to buy their seat back.
They need to be afraid to leave their homes.
