They protested endlessly, and got… Nothing. Peanuts.
Macron has the government that used the most by very, very far the 49.3 article which is basically a pass to ignore the democratic process. He said quite clearly that democracy has no power against him and it is proven true.
The fascism in France is just less… frontal, than in the US, but it is there and those little protests, as long as they last, won’t change anything.
This is a feature of the 5th Republic, and to be honest when you look at French politics from the outside I dont blame de Gaulle for creating it this way, your parliamentarians cannot compromise for shit.
I like how everyone has been assuming that I’m from the US
De Gaulle was basically a half-assed dictator by the way, who kept on taking advantage of the situation to try to get fame/power. The only, one good thing he did was fight against the parasites that the US and UK were, who wanted to just invade France and share it between themselves as spoils of war.
The two main causes for the failure of democracy in France in history are Napoleon and De Gaulle, and the fact that they are seen as heroes by french people (unsurprisingly, especially the right/far-right) definitely participated in the downfall of any democratic process in France.
The failure of the US system is in no way lessening the failure of the French democracy, but for some reason people can’t seem to accept that and try to either defend one or the other.
Yeah, France isn’t actively mass torturing minorities. Yet. Give it, I don’t know, 5-10 years? Right now is when people should be in the street burning everything down and putting Macaron and his government of Nazis under a guillotine, but instead they are busy worrying about Palestine supporters and minor immigrants (a big source of terrorism as everyone knows /s).
But that doesn’t mean they actually raised taxes or did anything to solve the budget shortfall that the retirement change was for. That’s just kicking the can down the road.
Yep they didn’t solve that problem, but they’re also still not full nazis, so they’re ahead of these exceptionalist people, who believe they’re exceptional for good reasons while the rest of the world knows they’re exceptional for bad reasons.
France burned stuff because the president wanted to increase the age for retirement. Multiple times.
Who’s the exceptionalist country now?

I was assuming you were from France 🙂
