They really do. 3 years ago my daughter was getting ready to take a school trip to France when protests broke out over something. I was worried about the trip and ended up learning a lot about how France protests. Here are some things I learned:

Protesting is considered important and this is taught to kids in school.

It's often a family affair, grab the whole family and go protest.

Protests are a happy, party-like environment with music and vendors selling food to protestors.

Leaders actually listen to some.extent.

I live in very, very rural France. Country-wide protests are happening because high-school students demand better... Well, better everything.

Yesterday I carpooled with my kid's teacher to protest in the "biggest" town (pop. 9,000) in the county. 700 people marched. Some drove over 60 miles one way to be there, when gas costs 2,35€ a liter.
In the past week two kids lost an eye, one an arm, one their lower jaw, because of police violence. (The eyes might not be beyond saving, I'm not sure.) Even middle-schoolers fight with their parents to be allowed to protest.

Country-wide headcount was 400,000. Our tiny march, every tiny local march did its part.
And that was a weekday, small protest. Saturday after next is a big one.
I'm really proud of the kids.

I mean, right now there are students protests in France.

One student had his hand blown off by a police grenade launcher, and something like 50 officers were injured.

They don't fuck around

Holy shit we are docile. How have we not had a fascist takeover yet? The other thing that amazes me about Brits is their priorities. They will riot over things like pedos and immigrants but when their government takes them into illegal wars, destroys their healthcare, public transit and education they do not give a fuck. The public outpouring of grief following the death of billionaire Diana Spencer was equally baffling and grotesque. It is weird to live amongst these people.

Yeah. Until the British need something that brown/black/yellow people don't want to give them for free, then they fucking Hulk the way to it. They are affable only to their oppressors, they love their royals.

And then the Brits hang this poster on their windows unironically

Wish the rest of the world was more like the French. We'd be able to achieve so much change.

I think if you can protest then your bitch ass ain't ready to lead! If you can't tske over a country my normal means in the 22st sentry then dumb as fuck bro and this os how we do ib in the civilized age.

The flavor is systems. System go up. System go down. But that is shit is temporal abd thats how we take it and if your bitch ass aint riding the race then that chit won't fuck your ass! So you you go woth the groove and it go tubular. This just stock speak! You know where the numbers are? With God. Shit you don't know, you don't know. That's a fact.

Is it true what you wrote about British government? Anytime I talked with people from Britain, either I end up talking to a crowd that says "Islamists are taking over UK" or a crowd that says "Right wing is problem". I really never got what they are doing these days.
