I can&#x27;t quite tell if you&#x27;re a troll or merely have a <i>really</i> hard time understanding that France is actually in a very complex position here.<p>This entire thread is so depressingly misinformed about the country that I don&#x27;t have the heart to correct people.<p>Namely people are quick to forget that France is in fact in a state of emergency and that conditions do change when that&#x27;s pulled. It doesn&#x27;t mean we should lie down and accept anything and everything, but forgetting what&#x27;s actually going on makes everything <i>worse</i>.<p>There are serious issues with the current french government but they have nothing to do with &quot;the left&quot; or &quot;the right&quot;, as if those things ever mattered. They have to do with how NIH and technologically impaired France is and that hasn&#x27;t changed since the minitel.
