@torinrussell: How does France riot so much without collapsing? #geopolitics #france #paris #History #learnontiktok

hirry.p :

them being on their 5th republic says it all 😅

Ari Price :

As someone living in Paris… the ultra wealthy could pay way way more

Axtonographie :

don't think I've ever seen a non-french person explain our situation so well

you liked your own comment :

in the USA, we have the same right on paper but in reality youll get ahot for acting this way

xoxo_esteban :

bismillah c'est les ténèbres!

basedgod248 :

I dont think theyre very stable at this point. government can't do anything and economy is a joke and getting worse

Kenny :

imo France is just the “real” version of what’s happening all over the world. more transparent. global politics continue to become more interlinked, and capitalism is clearly failing - the world must respond with a better system. but instead those with infinite power and wealth will hold it by any means

Iryax :

easy answer : french youth is bathed from birth in revolution stories and idealism as soon as they know how to read, we teach them about standing up to the oppressor so when they feel oppressed, they rise. and if the president has too much power, they know it and try to take him down so that a new oppressor can't rise as easily

CHOURY :

the billionaires in France pay proportionnaly less taxes than the average worker. the government has. A LOT of room to inscrease/improve public services

emmanuel_se_rebiffe :

I'm French and this is spot on

Quentin :

for the record the ultra rich pay 20% tax while the majority of the population pay 45% tax. It's a very unfair system

Wes Ferrer :

Diablo :

Russia is the cancer of the world

Pierre 00 :

Hi ! French fan here. Thank you for your analysis, I think it depicted well the cultural situation :) 👏

L'anti facho ☭ :

One of the best explaination I've seen but there's missing part. Like how capitalism and the state push these violence and are entirely responsible for it (I do not condamn any degradation) or the fact that macron is purposely destroying our social system in favor of the ultra wealthy, growing the debt bigger volontary to justify cuts in public funding

Hunter Hoffman :

Its pensions. The problem will always be the pensions and until the ppl are willing to accept massive cuts to the pension program it will continue to be a crisis

sparrow :

Another current underlying reason mentioned but not elaborated on. Is the early retirement with a generous pension that increases yearly. While the younger working population is shrinking and low birth rate not replacing the work force. As well as the increase in living costs.

bimi03 :

as a french person i applaud you for explaining our situation so well and for everyone, bravo👏

mickaz23 :

the 2nd article of the declaration of 1793 is used now since 1950 and in it it say one of our right is to fight oppression

Christopher🇮🇪🇺🇸 :

They have no croissant

Proff :

They haven't brought down the 5th republic yet. The fact they're on a 5th republic might suggest YET is the operative word.

🪙_/-jusafan-\_🪙 :

At what point is they not getting enough ?

Teodora 💕 :

and this is why I like French people. I may be the only one though, but I think they’re baddies purrrr 💅🏼

Silver Rose :

be at France China Russia are pretty much any country that has had a long enough civilization... the rich have trodden upon the poor.. and the poor have had to cut their heads off as a result. with Friends the lesson just stuck better
