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.

No one ever accused the French of

  • Being bad at baking
  • Not getting good and angry when the government is wrong
  • Being ashamed of being French.

I really have to hand it to them. Anglo nations just endure terrible government as an unfixable problem. When you piss the french off they are going to let you know.

Won't happen.
90% of the population was against the recents riots.
