    France and the UK really have gone to hell in a hand basket. Dystopian bullshit. No wonder they are rioting.

        Don’t riot - the destruction of property has a very serious cost that the rioting society itself will have to bear once all is said and done (whether we get the change we want or not) and it means that efforts and money will have to be put into simply rebuilding rather than progressing. Do mass strikes instead; it hurts them much more, the public is much more likely to be on our side, and the pressure to give in in order to restart the economy will be much greater.

          Except that France is already striking every other day. Nobody gives a fuck anymore. Strikes are a fact of life in france. They’re basically a free holiday for most. Striking is a national sport.
