More troubles in Frogland.

The image I posted in my post lead you to question whether the British were more civilised or indeed pushovers which you eluded to.

I could I only conclude you believe this to be either civilised behaviour, or the French not being pushovers. 

Perhaps before, launching your gnarly stones at Brexit Britain all the time, and where ever you can (I can see Britain's decision to leave the EU has affected you by your posts), think about the glass house upon where you sit before your antagonistic stone throwing begins.

Any questions I asked about the different ways the people relate to the state have been the subject of many media discussions this week. I am merely asking the same questions in here.

In order to criticise the violence in France you need to better understand the French character, history and politics.
The demonstrations in Paris began peacefully. The violence came from far right and left excuses to use violence. The same as the Gilets Jaunes whose actions, by the way, did force the government to change tack.
The real target is Macron, a centrist and therefore target for both ends of the political spectrun. The French psyche is far more tilted towards challenging those with power than in the UK where cap doffing is still the usual reaction. French people are constantly reminding power that when push comes to shove, as it sometimes does, it is the people who rule.
The state retirement age is the result of many long negotiations and people dont like their "progress" being eroded 8n such a manner.
And as usual, peaceful protest gets hijacked by pilitical extremists.

Of course I think violence of any kind is reprehensible. I recoil at any extremism but support the right to express dissatisfaction at government policy. And the French are incredulous that forcexample so much corruption happened during Covid in the UK and no one is out in the streets protesting.

I also think the French police are too physically brutal.

To judge another country by your own cultural and historical measures is a huge mistake. For better or worse, French people are not Anglo Saxon. Nor do they have the same history or expectation of the people vs. the state.

To make any reasonable judgement, you should understand this and judge from THEIR perspective. Otherwise your argument stops at "well I wouldnt do that" which is pointless.

I understand their perspective - and I think of a quote from Thatcher when I see the French protest "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”  They revolt over something many Europeans don't have the 

luxury of: retiring at 62. They are part of a globalist system now, with Macron as the head of state who is devoted to that doctrine - they voted him. Best they get used to it.

I also judge them from my morals, and I'm entitled to do that. 

I don't care what makes the French French, I know what appropriate behaviour is. I also know that France cannot carry on with its welfare system being such an expensive burden.

The French culture as you put it, is decades behind, rooted in a socialist culture of entitlement. The British know first hand how militantly these people behave especially British fisherman. Their abhorrent behaviour doesn't excuse them to hide

behind a cultural difference like you are trying to do for them here.

The idea of socialist entitlement is an oxymoron. It dowsnt exist.
If you dont care why someone behaves as they do, you arent here to discuss. You are here to argue.

In fact I am starting to think you are just one of the worst who do the same.

My husband is in palliative care and I dont need pointless stress. This was an amusement but people like you just depress me.

OK.
You are ignored.

Apart from correcting you, so are you most of the time.
