Yes everyone knows that in order to have a functional society you need to wear a yellow fluorescent jacket and set fire to a few cars every time you're moderately unhappy about something.

This is pretty reducing of the yellow jacket movement but I don't expect mainstream media to have covered that properly.

I only have one conspiracy theory and it's that Macron did Notrè Dame to distract from the protests.

[-] espentan@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Lol, now I'm picturing Macron sneaking up into the Notré Dame attic with a matchbox in hand, giggling.

yup people need to have stakes in being governed by the system to have an incentive to improve it, if they are too out of touch, then their only incentive would be their safety.

That's like spraying Axe/Lynx deodorant all over the body and believing that it will work as advertised.

That's still being just some guy.
