If recent memory serves, the answer is rage for a few days then back to life as usual.

There's only so many times you can guillotine the same corpse before it gets old. After all it's "eat the rich", not "slice the rich like toast". So a few days will be sufficient.

Complacency it is, then. Nothing you can do about, so why even bother?

I'd love to "bother" but do you have any suggestions? The French method ain't what it used to. The people need direction and I'm not talking about politicians. Everytime one pops up they get disappeared. The powers that be have gotten very good at keeping the status quo. So until that changes, yeah complacency it is.

Isn't there some kind of amendment you guys are so proud of? Something to do with tyrannical governments? I know solidarity isn't your thing entirely but it makes me wonder what you guys are waiting to happen before you use those guns. I hear they also help against disappearing. I realize that's a big step but you could at least take to the streets, no?

Also, "the powers that be" don't keep the status quo. The complacent populace waiting for something to change is. You are way more than them but for some reason you don't channel that power.

They won't do anything because they are selfish, lazy, weak, authoritarian cowards.

They can't and won't even enforce their own rules on Lemmy so what makes you think they're going to do anything to save their own country?
