Trust me, Macron is shitting himself, and if he isn't he is pretty dumb. Just because these people don't want to fight cops doesn't mean they won't string his ass up, and if they chose to the police wouldn't be able to stop them anyway.


Oh ok then I should trust you.
I mean you're clearly more aware than me of what's happening in France and Paris than myself.
What do I know? I'm just living here  Roll Eyes

I know plenty of people who live here who don't know a God damned thing about the internal social dynamics of our nation. There is no reason you could not be ignorant of some aspects of your nation. That is a cute bit of sophistry though.

It's not sophism it's sarcasm. Sarcasm at the fact that your point is "TRUST ME" without anything else to back up what sounds like a stupid opinion, especially for someone living here and actually seeing the movement dying every day. Yeah sure I should just trust you.

Again you chose some words and ignore the others.
And to make it easier you ignore the facts. So let's point it out in such a clear way you won't be able to ignore them even with all your bad faith. Articles are in French of course but you can still read numbers normally.

-Number of participants in the movement is decreasing:

-Support from population is only decreasing, even if still higher than 50%:

-Effects of manifestations (blockades, violences, damages...) are only decreasing:
Very hard to find reliable sources, it's mainly due to the fact that number of people involved in the movement is decreasing

So please do explain while Macron "is shitting himself at the moment" and why he would be "dumb" if he wasnt?
