lmfao did the french gov forget who it's people are?
Being out the guillotine
The guillotine is too humane.
Macron out here with the French Revolution Any% speedrun
Can't wait to watch the speed run history breakdown of this in a few years
I think this is a great opportunity to see if anybody has a spine anymore. If the French won't have a proper revolution, we're fucked.
The fight for progress never stops
No one ever accused the French of
- Being bad at baking
- Not getting good and angry when the government is wrong
- Being ashamed of being French.
I really have to hand it to them. Anglo nations just endure terrible government as an unfixable problem. When you piss the french off they are going to let you know.
Won't happen.
90% of the population was against the recents riots.
Maybe the government should listen to the people?
Maybe I don't understand yet how posts on Lemmy work, but is there no link/source for this post?
Edit: I can't see it on desktop (lemmy dot world) and neither in Jerboa. Edit2: OP edited the post and included the link which now works. Seems the picture broke the link, according to OP.
Oh weird, adding a picture killed the link. Lemme see if I can fix that.
Sorry, I'm new here.
Now it works for me, thanks!
No problem. I just hope that soon these instances will support pulling thumbnails from the articles to give the links a richer presence here. They're all so uniform and ugly right now.
If you’re viewing in compact mode on wefwef I believe that’s a known issue.
I'm not seeing it on desktop (lemmy dot world) and also not in the Jerboa app.

Perhaps the French govt should stop behaving against the will of the French people. 🤷
This is some very ironic, animal farm energy here. The government has forgotten who gave them their power.
Well tbf the Storming of the Bastille was (off the top of my head) two monarchies, two empires and two republics ago. Not to mention any communes, committees of public safety, or directories. How can you blame them for getting confused?? /s
They do still have multiple programs in place to ensure the populace always has bread. They haven’t completely forgotten.
A tale as old as ~~Roman~~ time~~s~~
I know they did this to weaken protests, BUT… I’d say everywhere in the world would be a much better place if we banned fireworks forever.
It's always struck me as rather odd that, in the US, one of our major holidays celebrating the military features fireworks considering how awful they can be for many veterans' PTSD.
Why does that strike you as odd? America doesn’t care about its veterans.
Unfortunately our military is way too big to give veterans the proper care they need.
I think the average person wants to support veterans, but when you have 26 million of them it makes it extremely costly.
Maybe we should have less wars?
Just spitballing here.
I absolutely agree, I'm conservative and am fine with cutting 80% of our foreign military activity.
Using that money to help folk here including veterans.
I feel like agreeing is some sorta trap for some reason.
All I know is I protested the Iraq war and I protested our involvement with the "moderates" in Syria.

I mean when I set off some fireworks I am not trying to mess with some vet. You are right however, I should be more aware of this issue.
I've never met one Veteran that was against planned fireworks displays. It's the backyard ones that are the issue.
I hate fireworks but this seems like a good reason to keep them around.
You can have my fireworks when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. Which are over there, near the fireworks.
So....if the government turns on the people, what do the French have to protect themselves with?
Guillotines
The citizens just ask the politicians to come to the guillotines, plz?
So a temp ban. Nice clickbait headline there bastardinsider . com.
Roll out the guillotines! It’s time to get this party started already. It’s been long enough that the rich billionaires in the world meet their fate.
Can you smell it? Revolution is coming.
lol, okay there. Let's settle down and wipe the Doritos from your face, Chequito. This protest has very little to do with any sort of revolution, and even if it did, your next in line after Macron is currently Le Pen, who would simply make things even worse. So really, I don't think you understand what the fuck you're talking about.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
