This revolution needs to get real French, real fast…
If this isn't the spark, considering the momentum it has, nothing will ever "get French" for them.
For a supposedly gun infested and ultra violent country, there is an eerie calm lasting for decades.
Most probably this was a one time thing?
I feel it's more like 'nothing ever happens until it does' statement that I read about. Basically there is a lot of build up that seems like nothing is happening. Then it reaches critical mass and things change. Think the US civil war. The US wasn't going to free slaves. There was more uprisings and events, like John Brown and Nat Turner, and nothing was going to change. Until it did.
Am I reading Europeans goading my country into class warfare?
The majority of people have been voting for pure privatization of healthcare, any "uprising" in the shithole USA over this would be minor.
The beauty of the civil rights movement was that on the one side you had the peaceful protests, the disobedience pointing at the other side where activists wanting the same thing and more weren’t so peaceful. The peaceful protesters were the compromise. The alternative was a black revolution, the black panthers, Malcom X etc.
Even those who don’t want a full French Revolution right now should at least push for peaceful protest. We need this “or else” approach. We shouldn’t let it go to waste.
You know that one ended with the reign of terror followed by the crowining of a monarch that then embroiled the entire European continent in war, right?
You know it ended millenniums of monarchy and bought in democracy?
Some people are willing to make risks to see change and improvements. The others are called conservatives.
I think it was a good thing in the long run, I’d just like people to temper their bloodlust a bit, lest we fail to learn any lessons from the past. It’s easy to let righteous indignation morph into something distinct but just as shitty as the thing it replaced.
You replied to an accelerationist. Don't threaten them with a good time. lol ...or try to teach them; they're likely a reactionary, too
