Until protesters get the courage, knowledge, tenacity and resources needed to evolve into rebels, they will never ever succeed anything. They will never ever get anywhere.
Until they’re willing to do whatever it takes—whatever it takes—then they’re just wasting their time. Just stay home and stay in one piece.
@Velocity2222 @antireportgr Puts American protesters/rioters to shame. Well, Americans are a bunch of sell outs, generally speaking. #France #FranceHasFallen #FranceOnFire #ACAB #Frenchprotests #FranceRiots
For those who read French, Jean-François Bayart situates the current #FrenchProtests in the context of the anti-democratic turn of the Macron government in the face of wide-ranging social contestation in #France https://www.letemps.ch/opinions/on-sait-mieux-ou-va-la-france
#histodons Emile Chabal puts the language of #FrenchProtests #FrenchUprising in the context of the republican tradition in #France in a thread over on the bird site https://twitter.com/emile_chabal/status/1674340466945409026?s=46&t=1UV3aUx61FCjP5FXKo8QlQ
One of those links is to the critical work of Jean Beaman on race and state institutions in #France, highly relevant to #FrenchUprising #frenchprotests https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/jcms.13275
When folks protest in France, they don't half step. #France #Frenchprotests
Anyone else embarrassed that the French are more upset about raising retirement age than we are about losing a woman's right to an abortion?

The bill has been met with massive protests from the French people, including a multi-union general strike and violence that shut down city ...
France’s retirement age will increase from 62 to 64 despite broad and violent protests against the measure, which was pushed by French President Emmanuel Macron.

9th day of general strike tomorrow in 🇫🇷. Even if the bill bringing the retirement age to 64 has been approved, people are still protesting. Today no public transport in my city, tomorrow no preschool for my 4yo and no school restaurant or daycare for my 8yo.
The intensity of protests in this country still amazes me. Unions are very powerful and the society is extremely polarized.
The majority of patriotic Americans hate to be compared to the French, so I'm actually surprised we don't have more street action solely to avoid the comparison. Where is our righteous rage, besides, as a collective? #France #FrenchProtests
