Very disturbing first hand testimony.
I heard that a lot of former military officers were calling for a coup against Macron.
France seems ripe for another revolution.

Honestly I had lost hope in France's ability to stand up for itself until I saw this timelapse. My perspective on this country is however not at all an accurate one as it has been years since I last visited a city. Here in the sticks there is no chance for a revolution. Most people are sleepwalking their way through life, addicted to their daily television programming which keeps them behaving like good obedient slaves.
Definitely guillotine time. You can't look at those protests and still claim to have the consent of the governed.
Not sure if they really care about having the consent of the governed? They are more interested in a system of governance which cannot be overthrown.
Keeps the police and military obedient though. You spend decades drilling democracy into them at school, you want to make sure you can convince them you still have 'the consent of the governed', or they're going to depose you and hold elections.
I see what you mean now. It's basically a mind trick which keeps us believing we are part of an enormous group who all want the same thing. While we uphold this belief we will uphold the status quo.
