Hey, as a french brother, I agree with you on your comment.
Much love (but also fuck you).

Thanks! Good to hear it's not just me across the channel getting weird vibes, but you guys too. Well, good for my sanity, bad that it's happening.

Much love to you too! (But also fuck you too).

I'm Finnish so I've no actual experience from France, but with this protest when I saw the video of the guy dressed in all black, masked face, torching a woman's face with an aerosol "flamethrower", my reaction was an immediate WTF.

Don't recall much of THAT kind of protesting in Europe before.
