The French really know how to protest.
post
This is a close second place to the guillotine for best French protest invention.
Dude...A guillotine that also slots onto tram tracks.
They should combine the two, waste not want not
Did not know I needed that! (Tram tracks, I'm covered on bbq's)
Doesn't this feel like the kind of absurdly bombastic thing you'd see in a hella good rap video though? Dude marching at the grill while spitting mad science. I need that in my life asap
The absurdity makes it also funny. On the whole I think it will reduce the risks of escallations.
I'd watch that clip. Maybe something for Childish Gambino?
They should make it more of a low wagon, so there's a place for the grillers to stand in front of it or to the side, instead of walking behind it in the smoke cloud.
You think French people mind inhaling smoke?
I think "French people" - like all overgeneralizations - is an overgeneralization.
You gotta keep people fed. I always grabbed a cheeseburger after a protest.
Adds a new wrinkle to the trolley problem
In America we could build one into a huge rider mower if we could afford a rider mower, grill, sausages, or to protest without getting fired.
You can gain the right to protest without being fired! Guess how...
The french have made a pasttime out of fighting for their rights meanwhile americans huff and puff if they have to show up for one saturday every few months
Australians mostly just complain about the protestors causing traffic to be slightly worse than normal, and accuse them of undermining public support for their cause.
Sweety, if slightly worse traffic causes you to change your opinion on genocide, the climate, the economy, etc. You didn't actually hold that opinion in the first place.
βI was late to work for an underpaid job that I hate because of those damn protests! I have now decided to support the genocide of children in foreign countries!β Would be hilarious if it didnβt feel real on some level.
I feel like it also has something to do with Australianβs tall poppy syndrome. Some people see others trying to do something about the state of the world and feel the all encompassing need to drag them back into the shit with them. Itβs so tiring.
if it didnβt feel real on some level
To me it doesn't feel real. It feels performative as shit. I meant it when I said "you didn't actually hold that opinion".
I feel like I'd show up to more of those if they didn't all feel like one of the local nursing homes had a get-together.
I hope they call it the Dibbler
Le Dibbleur.
(Actually I don't get the joke at all, you talking about the marsupial?)
Itβs a reference to a famous sausage salesman from Discworld: CMOT Dibbler
A well fed resistance is a powerful one
