    It works in France because there’s an implication that you guys will start burning everything to the ground if the government doesn’t capitulate. The implication comes from a clear and demonstrated history of actually doing so.

    Our history of that is much less clear, especially in recent history.

      No, it works because we actually burn shit to the ground when the government doesn’t capitulate. And that’s not an ability only french genes have.

      It’s up to you to make sure your protests have an effect.
