lmfao did the french gov forget who it's people are?
Being out the guillotine
The guillotine is too humane.
Yeah. Keep in mind the rich people of this would would gladly rape babies if it made them more money.
They also do it for fun. Just ask Epstein...oh wait, nevermind.
Macron out here with the French Revolution Any% speedrun
Can't wait to watch the speed run history breakdown of this in a few years
I think this is a great opportunity to see if anybody has a spine anymore. If the French won't have a proper revolution, we're fucked.
The fight for progress never stops
Maybe I don't understand yet how posts on Lemmy work, but is there no link/source for this post?
Edit: I can't see it on desktop (lemmy dot world) and neither in Jerboa. Edit2: OP edited the post and included the link which now works. Seems the picture broke the link, according to OP.
If you’re viewing in compact mode on wefwef I believe that’s a known issue.
I'm not seeing it on desktop (lemmy dot world) and also not in the Jerboa app.
Oh weird, adding a picture killed the link. Lemme see if I can fix that.
Sorry, I'm new here.
Now it works for me, thanks!
No problem. I just hope that soon these instances will support pulling thumbnails from the articles to give the links a richer presence here. They're all so uniform and ugly right now.
I’m coming here from kbin and see the link fine
Does kbin have any mobile apps yet?
No, there’s one called Artemis in dev but since kbin doesn’t have an a available API yet it’s not easy.
Perhaps the French govt should stop behaving against the will of the French people. 🤷
this make sense. They can't.
This is some very ironic, animal farm energy here. The government has forgotten who gave them their power.
Well tbf the Storming of the Bastille was (off the top of my head) two monarchies, two empires and two republics ago. Not to mention any communes, committees of public safety, or directories. How can you blame them for getting confused?? /s
They do still have multiple programs in place to ensure the populace always has bread. They haven’t completely forgotten.
A tale as old as ~~Roman~~ time~~s~~
I know they did this to weaken protests, BUT… I’d say everywhere in the world would be a much better place if we banned fireworks forever.
It's always struck me as rather odd that, in the US, one of our major holidays celebrating the military features fireworks considering how awful they can be for many veterans' PTSD.
Why does that strike you as odd? America doesn’t care about its veterans.

You can have my fireworks when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. Which are over there, near the fireworks.
I hate fireworks but this seems like a good reason to keep them around.
i would love to punch macaroni or whatever his name is
So....if the government turns on the people, what do the French have to protect themselves with?
Yes, France clearly needs the right to bear arms just like Iran does.
Remember all the uproar happening in Iran last year? What happened? Did they topple their abusive regime without guns or foreign intervention?
Everyone was calling them so brave and now it's just silence.
I don't know about Iran's gun rights to have much input on that comparison.
From what I remember, I thought the protests were mainly by the youth in universities.
Guillotines
The citizens just ask the politicians to come to the guillotines, plz?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
