      I think youre just massively overreacting because you only know a single moment in fances history.

      The obvious answer to “oh, what did they do last time they banned protests?” Is “they started a protest about it.”

      France protests at the drop of a hat. Banning one of their top 10 favorite pasttimes is obviously going to cause a protest.

      As wild pointed out, France has a reputation for frequent and massive protests regularly (compared to places like the US). Like, I was partly joking about the recent news thing because its a meme at this point. Obviously I don’t know what was in the mind of theacharnian, but my first thought was to think about what most recently happened when France made major news for protests against banning protests.
