France suppose to be the higher moral ground. They are preaching about human rights to others. But at the end of the day their country is a mess.

What went wrong?

That’s sad because I believe we should strive for it.

Well look at the result of it.

It began as a normal riot and escalated fast.
The high school protest was right but then other groups joined.

The anger inside people is crazy. 
That’s definitely not the way to make a change.

Democracy allows for protests but the immaturity of the masses leads to riots and violence. It’s not something that’s easily separated. I would say on the opposite end of the spectrum is a country like Russia where the masses are completely neutered and unable to do so much as hold a sign up without being beaten.

France is always spicy.

What if nothing is wrong?

I’m just not sure what these protests/riots are hoping to achieve. I’ve been seeing lots of progressives/leftists saying burning down town halls etc is some sort of “gotcha” to capitalism because… reasons?

If it really is just about getting more funding for high schools I feel like that point has already been firmly made. Everything else just feels like slightly upset people wanting a reason to protest/loot/yell because everyone is bored/apathetic/confused these days.
