Yes it will but they’ll carry larger batons, be racist throughout and will shut down freedom of speech.

No whataboutery at all, my in laws live there remember? People are fucked off with it as they do even know what they want, the right to protest still exists and also strikes (a French national summertime sport) and long may that continue.

Here’s a whatabout, whatabout Russia? Your hypocrisy in explaining that should be interesting.

Is that projection?  
Back on topic. Does your miniscule sample of French feeling come from the working class(those protesting) or the ruling class(those profiting off the working class)?

Actually my in laws are on the side in main of some of the protests, I say some as they’re varied and the French strike and protest all the time, lazy media attributes this to the yellow vests, the protests mean all this and nothing.  
So when you post these things you’re posting a whole raft of discontent yet they singular not whole, huge difference.

No projection either, observation.
