    Protest, solidarity and defiance is definitely the way. The French don’t sit around and create memes or content hoping to change stuff, they bring their economy and their streets to their knees, making it clear who really holds the power.

      Do they? I’ve seen the headlines but do they really?

      Every few years it seems like they are circling the same drain as everyone else.

      Protests where we all just gather and walk around aren’t effective. You need to be proactive and anticipatory. We saw it with George Floyd protests. There’s no win. Either people will show up and go home. Or, the protests will grow to a point that it becomes out of control. When it’s out of control then the police salivate and pull out their black book training manual for how to beat hippies and they get to work. Just as a farmer leads his cows to slaughter. The police have solved the protestor problem. You will not win. Tactics need to adapt
