Gotta point out that the french protests, while they are in general for everyone that doesn't mean it's not extremely partisan and divided. It's just we all know Macron is absolute trash 🤷

This protest led to the educational minister leaving, a huge budget increase in education sector and rehiring several thousand teachers

Here's a decent winipedia site on this protest, feel free to follow links to other protests that have happened.

Sure it might not give us Macron's head on a pole - and no revolution - but concrete protests have lead to concrete results.

Edit: I must have misheard, at least can't find that the education minister left? So check out article for any results of protests sry 😅
