We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

I'm amazed that "chaos" there in France is more like "normal". I remember some riots that happened couple of years ago and one commenter said France might verge into collapsing. I thought to myself that those who think that are not aware how France works, and rioting is a tradition since the French Revolution.

riots may happen in france, but for what is mention in the post, there is absolutely no riot, no chaos or anything else. It's just a political event without consequence.

I know. But I mean any political mess in France, riots or not, is seen as severe by outsiders but aren't aware how things work in France.

However, I admit that the situation in Mayotte is in a completely different context and unprecedented for overseas French territory.

This is a weird thing to not riot over from my perspective. You guys are being couped. But I guess that's how they can get away with this, is no one really cares who's in charge. Same thing happened to us in the 2000's election and as long as the coup is all according to the process or seems legal, or political, no one does anything.

When people riot over pensions or living conditions it’s because it affects them directly. Here it’s just squabbling over who gets to sit in the PM’s chair. Not surprising nobody wants to riot over which unlikable politician gets a promotion.

Ya that's basically what Game of Thrones is about lol.

It's still riots. But on TV and with ties on.

Literally every time I've been to France there has been a riot. Edit: actually that's not true, one of the times I was there it was only a riot watch, they were waiting for sentencing in some trial of righty separatists.

Not even a crumb of chaos? A morsel of mischief? Perhaps a scrap of sabotage?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not so much as a shred of shenanigans.

Un peu de pagaille? Quelque chose de chienlit?
