I’m all about hating on the French, to a a concerning degree even, but those fuckers protest like nobody else…the world would be a slightly better place if citizens everywhere got as easily pissed at their government and their employers as the French.
You really think its just about food? If you can’t see how a hot heavy metal barrier could be a useful thing to keep between you and riot cops, you know nothing about protesting.
The french have firmly established that peaceful protests are only their first step and they have a long history proving their willingness to take it further.
They can afford to have a protest like this because they are lucky in that their government is still scared of them. This is just a warning protest.
either a very lax police or toothless protest if you can bring a barbecue to a protest and it’s in one piece by the end.

France is fantastic, I hope people won’t figure it out and ‘invade’ us 😋
I would argue the police in America are way too aggressive. People have a right to protest

i was thinking about it more in the lines of rubber bullets and teargas. i don’t get how a barbecue constrained on rails could ever be that useful.
are they not getting shot at or beaten? no water cannons? no dirty tactics to surround and suffocate them to death with teargas?
either this protest is not consequential enough or the french have it much easier than what we get in the global south.
