Jupiter is Coming

What the actual fuck is he thinking with? Is getting guillotined really better than getting deposed in his mind?

My man literally said his thoughts are too complex, he's got the ego of Shah Palevi

You really think the other neoliberal alliance countries would let that happen?
Absolute worst case for Macron and his goons is they are forced to hop on a plane and leave the country.

I know we all want a huge revolt if someone is killed, but let's look at the actually most likely scenario. If someone goes down, the government can *still* get away with it or at least pull a plausible deniability card. All it takes is for a yellow vest (or agent provocateur) to lash out against the police "unprovoked" and then the state has all the excuse in the world to open fire.

Remember Bloody Sunday in Ireland? We could see that again with the same amount of government accountability (read: zero) until decades later.

Forcing a first world capitalist government into exile would still rock the world like 9/11 though

Far from my area of expertise but I would say this is pretty unprecedented so it depends entirely on the ability of the protestors to win the sympathies and then allegiance of the military and/or high level bureaucracy, and then actually assume control instead of pushing just hard enough for the reforms to pass. The government does seem to be between a rock and a hard place, because not only are the demands basically impossible (within the confines of a neoliberal government) from what I understand, they also seem to be reaching a point where their legitemacy as a government truly hinges on their ability to suppress this. At the very least, if this all slowly falls apart, the next French election will not be a welcome place for centrists. And if there's a massacre of protestors by armed cops who fucking knows, I dont expect true civil war but there may be police and military switching sides.

Yeah. My point is that it's easy to see why they think they're invincible, and it's because they basically are.

I think a lot of bottled up discontent in people around the globe would be unleashed. Hell, I'd be on the streets here in the US soon afterwards

MAS-36. Too expensive though.

Leftists in France are not united. A great many consider that the movement is at best of "petit blancs" (petty whites i.e kinda racist and uncultured) at worst fascist.
