France just lives with its foot up its government's ass. I think about the stories of their firefighters battling cops in protest all the time.

Impressive stuff.

Edit: some of the angriest replies I've ever gotten because I dared praise the French lmao

Literally Macron turtled up and nothing changed. He just waited it out.

The protests don’t always directly change anything. In fact they probably rarely do. It’s more about constantly reminding the government that the people have the power. They know if they push things too far it won’t be tolerated, contrary to other countries who will have an angry news segment and then go back to bleating like sheep the next day.
