How about a nice trip in France for the next week in order to confirm or deny this statement ?
You have no f-in idea of how many people are taking the streets every Saturdays. We are the working class and we are unarmed contrary to the police forces they are sending to beat us.
People are divided due to their own situation. Many of my own friends are thinking it's no use to protest because "they are all corrupt" and they do not even think it would be good to try to fight for their own kids.
You have no idea how the political system in France worn out the people. The last two generations lived a life in a big illusion. Even retirees are taking the streets. Why ?
The political system in France is on the verge of collapsing and the situation is a typical paradox of the french people : they do nothing until it's obvious.
Protests get something like 70% of approbation, you can see f-in yellow vest in every f-in car on the road. But the situation is far more complicated because people, even if they pay an absurd amount of taxes, they have a family, kids, responsibilities, a job etc and they do not want to sacrifice what is left of their rights and small comfort by taking the streets every days.
So, many of us do nothing, or are just bothered by the disturbances of their small and meaningless lives.
Others are supporting the movement by showing their approbation in their car, exposing the yellow vest and following the movement on social media or bashing MSM on their own forums.
And others are taking the street each weekend, because they understand we need to fight. Like, really.
