      Yes everyone knows that in order to have a functional society you need to wear a yellow fluorescent jacket and set fire to a few cars every time you’re moderately unhappy about something.

          yup people need to have stakes in being governed by the system to have an incentive to improve it, if they are too out of touch, then their only incentive would be their safety.

          I only have one conspiracy theory and it’s that Macron did Notrè Dame to distract from the protests.

            Lol, now I’m picturing Macron sneaking up into the Notré Dame attic with a matchbox in hand, giggling.
