“It’s going to trigger a civil war and me, like most other citizens, we’re all ready,” said Benjamin Vrignaud, a 21-year-old protester from Chartres.

“They take everything from us. They steal everything from us,” said 21-year-old Laura Cordonnier.

I thought the next civil war in a western country would start here in America. I guess the socialistic French government ran out of other people's money so they need to steal more from their citizens. Next stop; Venezuela style economy crash. They reached their tipping point.

This is a series of fuel tax hikes imposed to combat climate change.

Ordinary French have had enough and are taking to the streets.

And Macron’s popularity has taken a steep hit.

All that free stuff has a cost.

In France, there were two revolutions following 1789: in 1830 and in 1848.

Liberty! Brotherhood! Snails!

They don’t like tax increases in France.

Those are the kind of tax hikes idiot Democrats would like to impose here.

[blue state conservative]

Gee, here in the Peoples Republic of California the majority vote for more gas taxes all the time. Maybe we should allow illegal immigration only from from France.

I have to change my regard of the French.

They fight back whilst sheeple Americans are in default surrender mode.

[Boomer]

There’s truth in what you say. Even during our own Revolution only 3% fought. The rest sat on their heels and did what they were told.

Emmanuel Macron to the peasants:

Starve!

[Cold Heart]

Oregon voted for more taxes too.

[goldstategop]

People in Europe are realizing climate change taxes are nothing more than massive wealth redistribution from them to the elite.

Stealing from Robin Hood to give to King John.

But...but...but liberals assure us its the other way around.

Just how stupid do they think we are?

[traderrob6]

Near as I can figure it’s about .17/gal increase on an already exorbitant 7.10/gal price now.

[Farmer Dean]

The French army fought with honor during the German invasion of 1940.They were cursed by a lack of leadership at the top.

[Huskrrrr]

Le ha-ha.

[Tzimisce]

So there you have it: the French don’t care about global warming.

[mass55th]

When does the guillotining begin?

[goldstategop]

What we have here is a failure to communicate.
