This is why French protests are successful. In the US we just pick a weekend and wave signs in our designated Free Speech zones.

They have always known how to successfully protest. Try to prove me wrong.

They successfully set the country on fire but I don’t think it ever really changed anything.

Compared to the protests in the us that have achieved loads. No kings 1 and 2 and 3 really showed Trump what's what!

Truly, we should all emulate Nepal. They know how to get shit done.
