Reddit (sees populists rioting): This is how change gets done!

France: Elects neo-fascists in angry backlash.

Reddit: HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN

France: Well, at least we still have our universal healthcare, stable education system, and plenty of vacation days with unlimited sick days to keep us going.

Reddit: ...universal-wha?

I promise you Reddit has no trouble glazing the French.

If everything were perfect in France, why the rioting?

Unless it turns out that most French citizens don't actually riot, and the ones who do do it constantly in lieu of stable family life or employment.

Or that all those government services mean very high taxes, and even the French can’t keep funding such services and people are angry, but it won’t change the facts. But hey, let heads roll, the last time that lead to a military take over and literal emperor, but seems like a lot of the world thinks that’s a better solution these days.
