Is there a chance France will actually replace the government with nationalists, though?

Non sequitur extraordinaire

No dude not happening

At least not now

@Alex Kolchak - NY imagine thinking that it's the reporters fault for your shit globalist policies failing

@Jacob I'd say so.

a policeman beating up a reporter? breddy based

frogs could've voted in Le Pen, chose not to. I dunno if they're going to put in Nationalists or not, but I like the precedent that they are setting in that they are doing absolutely the most of any country currently in attempting to expel their hostile elites.

@Undercover Academic - IL hell yeah

Screw the rams

If they go to the super bowl I’m gonna be mad

@Sam Southern - TN I figured that as the economic burden kicked in there would be societal unrest in Europe

spread like fire, (figuratively) burn the elites out of power. i love to see it

France will have their Napoleón.

Napoleon was their Napoleon

I can't wait. Caesar here needs to happen as well.

I'd settle for a Thomas Jefferson.

We need a Jackson

Jackson > Jefferson

Based

Also friendly reminder Napoleone Buonaparte was an ITALIAN

Corsican

not to be a downer, but there’s a good chance the protests will be put down, hard. Neither France nor the EU can afford to let them coalesce into something serious.

still a win for /accelerationism europe/

Which is Italian lmao

@Alex Kolchak - NY won't that just cause more long term problems?

@Alex Kolchak - NY imagine what that would do to popular opinion though if they put them down

The issues are still there

yes. when there’s a next round of protests, it’ll be even more violent and irreversible

Not quite.

Lmao yes quite

Sort of...

@Alex Kolchak - NY good!

Personally I didn't to see a tea party moment with oil

@Sam Southern - TN well, yes and no. Good if they shake things up, but revolutions are generally much worse than whatever worst-case scenario we have in our heads

I’m not sure what little detail you’re debating here, the fact that it’s not part of the Italian state or are you saying that they aren’t ethnically the same people lmao

it’s all well and good until electricity and water services go down...

Is there any compelling reason why they couldn't just elect someone else, or is France doing what Ukraine did?

@Alex Kolchak - NY it's all about precedent imo. if yellow vests turns into something resembling a true revolution, it sets a firm precedent for Europe as a legitimate path to overthrowing their elites.

Ukraine violently overthrew a democratically elected president when they could have just waiting like a year and voted him out lmao

Is France making the same mistake or is there a reason behind this?
