You'll tell that to the Prussians who suffered the second deadliest battle in their History at Saint-Privat and the third at Mars-la-Tour, both battles which make Gettysburg look like a walk in the park, and who suffered the deadliest month of fighting in their History in August 1870.

As opposed to the English constitution which is unwritten and places very few barriers in the way of parliament or the monarchy. Or the american constitution which had to have the provisions for slavery amended out of it and has fucked its entire society with a section about arming a militia that no longer exists for a style of warfare that is no longer effective in the face of modern mechanized militaries, and is so hard to update that it's Supreme Court is capable of granting rights to and stripping them away from millions of their citizens. Better a new constitution every year than one that's unsuited for the political context of its time.
@@seekingabsolution1907 Armed citizens terrify even modern governments, because unlike what you seem to be implying, low intensity insurgent warfare is extremely effective against modern mechanized militaries. It's the definition of assymetric warfare, whereupon one group (the underdogs) with inferior ressources but high motivation and number can, over time, overwhelm a technologically more advanced opponent through attrition and constant attacks on supply lines. Any government would have a much easier time establishing a totalitarian dictatorship in an european state (which is kind of already happening in Britain right now) than in a nation where everyone and their sister is packing.

As french guy, I'm left in dismay that the May 1968 riots wasn't mentioned. Literally every single protest that came after this one tried to rival it. The reasons are quiet simple : 7 millions of protesters in the streets (with a population around 50 millions at the time which means 14% of the population was protesting), General De Gaulle stepping down and the dissolution of the National Assembly. As far as I know, only the Yellow Jackets (2018-2019) have reached the same might.
De Gaulle didn't step down because of May 1968 riots, there was a protest to support him when the riots ended. He stepped down one year later after a referendum
@@Lakers24bn in 1968 because he wasn’t able to manage the crisis De Gaulle just left the country and went to Germany. But at this time nobody knows where he was. So the prime minister Pompidou got the charge of the crisis Then when De Gaulle came back there was the support and the plebiscit
oui mais c'est révolution colorée totalement phagocytée par la bourgeoisie pour virer de Gaulle mais bon il faut dire qu'il a aussi tenu compte pour émeutes de s manifs de profs et d'étudiant

1:12 Oh hey, it's the city of Belfort! I lived there for a couple years and was in touch with the Yellow Vests you see here. Many of them were frenzied conspiracy theorists, but overall they were a nice bunch. I took a yellow vest myself too, two times. Belfort is a small city, but it's highly regarded in France as a landmark of stubborness and resistance. Against the Prussians in 1870, Belfort resisted under heavy siege and refused to surrender for 103 days, even when its defences were heavily compromised and the city was in ruins from artillery shelling. It held up until an armistice was signed by the regime. For this reason, the invading Prussians allowed the leading officer, Denfert-Rochereau and his men, to leave the city with their arms. A giant lion carved out of red sandstone tops over the city, in a cliff mounted by fortifications. It was designed by Bartholdi, the same bloke who designed the Statue of Liberty. A smaller replica of the lion sits in the middle of a roundabount in Paris, at the Place Denfert-Rochereau. It has a history of resistance and maquis against the occupational forces of the Nazi regime, it was a city with highly strategical industrial sites, and with remarkably strong unions of workers. During the pandemic, the mayor of the city was against the shutdown of businesses, and against all regulation, stood to make them reopen. It was not until centralised powers took action that the situation was "normalized". It's a city of rough blokes, warm and welcoming, but angry, resentful and not very educated people. A small remain of the indomitable stubborn, stupid, valliant, humanistic and idealistic French spirit. It has good reasons to be proud, even if that pride is a shade of its former self, and we, as French men and women, should maybe re-learn from this.
I went to France a couple of months ago and absolutely loved Paris and the people there. But I gotta agree that you _absolutely shouldn't mess around with the French_ .

Yes, on average we have between 3 to 5 big strikes / protests per year. Now we're just unphased when it happens, it's just normal.

Immigrants assimilated very well and started participating in riots too.
The word you seek is "assimilate"
"When you are in France, act like the French do"
literally, a lot of the recent protesters against police brutality got their experience in the yellow jackets or against the pension reform. They're perpetuating french tradition better than the rightist bootlickers
You joke but from reading actual French forums they don’t seem as concerned as non French. Their reaction is pretty much “So what? Riots happen all the time.”
@@mrfunnyperson100 I mean, if there is an issue there might be discontent, if there is deiscontent there may be a right, if there is a riot the government might actually fix the issue. Its only a possibility but we very well know the government wont fix anything if no one complains in an at least mildly threatening way.
@@mrfunnyperson100 My favourite meme is the video clip of a couple having a romantic dinner outside while in the background there is a fire and riot. They don't even care lmao.
i heard that poeple in paris recently said this in the protests.
''LOUIS XVI, LOUIS XVI, WE DECAPACITATED HIM!
MACRON, MACRON, WE WILL DO IT AGAIN!''

Yes but a lot of people were shocked by the violence and did not accept it.

1:12 Oh hey, it's the city of Belfort! I lived there for a couple years and was in touch with the Yellow Vests you see here. Many of them were frenzied conspiracy theorists, but overall they were a nice bunch. I took a yellow vest myself too, two times.
Belfort is a small city, but it's highly regarded in France as a landmark of stubborness and resistance. Against the Prussians in 1870, Belfort resisted under heavy siege and refused to surrender for 103 days, even when its defences were heavily compromised and the city was in ruins from artillery shelling. It held up until an armistice was signed by the regime. For this reason, the invading Prussians allowed the leading officer, Denfert-Rochereau and his men, to leave the city with their arms. A giant lion carved out of red sandstone tops over the city, in a cliff mounted by fortifications. It was designed by Bartholdi, the same bloke who designed the Statue of Liberty. A smaller replica of the lion sits in the middle of a roundabount in Paris, at the Place Denfert-Rochereau.
It has a history of resistance and maquis against the occupational forces of the Nazi regime, it was a city with highly strategical industrial sites, and with remarkably strong unions of workers. During the pandemic, the mayor of the city was against the shutdown of businesses, and against all regulation, stood to make them reopen. It was not until centralised powers took action that the situation was "normalized".
It's a city of rough blokes, warm and welcoming, but angry, resentful and not very educated people. A small remain of the indomitable stubborn, stupid, valliant, humanistic and idealistic French spirit. It has good reasons to be proud, even if that pride is a shade of its former self, and we, as French men and women, should maybe re-learn from this.
so bascially a squidward patrick combo with a side of plankton
That kind of explains why the yellow vests were a xenophobic movement in Canada
I mean, the rooster is the national symbol of France, and roosters are often associated with pride, so there you have it

The 3rd worked really well but had a small problem called Nazi germany. The 2nd was not bad either but had other problems. TBH our current one is very flawed in its constitution and dependant on a respect of De Gaulle's traditions for a smooth run, which are not being respected by Macron.

If you wonder why riots are so common, just know that the French president said that video games are the reason the recent riot started and didn't talk at all about cops' brutality. I think it tells you everything you need to know.
Tbf the Nahel protest really started with one event of a young man breaking the law and gotten shot for it, but then looters got involved violence escalated on both sides and the true victim were the bystander that didnt ask for this crap either way.
Didnt macron said stuff like adblocks were domestic terrorism or smt, that the french people were ingrates because they still protested for better life standarts despite his few way to cheap gifts he was doing semi regularly during Covid and shortly after as if it ever dealt with the actual problem, or him that went out of the country every single damn time there was a serious protest, to the point where it was Dutch people who went to him to tell him he s*cks, or his time in China where he was a simp of the chinese and they respected him so little they quite litteraly didnt give a sh*t about what he said, or his time in Africa where he said something racist and the local guy casually told him "screw you"
