Only the senior citizens remember the Nazi occupation. They must be freaking big time right now.

Because they know that the count of days and the count of cars is ridiculous. This isn't "how many cars have been burned" or "how many days this has gone on". This is the start of something big. The launching of a major operation. I personally believe it is a war of recruitment, designed to show the young savages that here is something they can do with their worthless idle lives. And that they can win.

Beyond that, the medium-term goal is to establish a state-within-a-state, where no French government is allowed. In this, I think, they will succeed.

a state within a state

Well hopefully the new Muslim paradise will ask for a seat at the United Nations.

That would be fun to watch. :-)

Now, none of them will ever seek employment again--why would they? They can be part of a movement and be the people in power in the new France.
