The ban is in effect through Bastille Day in order to prevent “serious disturbances” to public order, the French government announced Sunday.
lmfao did the french gov forget who it’s people are?
Being out the guillotine
The guillotine is too humane.
Macron out here with the French Revolution Any% speedrun
Can’t wait to watch the speed run history breakdown of this in a few years
I think this is a great opportunity to see if anybody has a spine anymore. If the French won’t have a proper revolution, we’re fucked.
The fight for progress never stops
No one ever accused the French of
- Being bad at baking
- Not getting good and angry when the government is wrong
- Being ashamed of being French.
I really have to hand it to them. Anglo nations just endure terrible government as an unfixable problem. When you piss the french off they are going to let you know.
Won’t happen.
90% of the population was against the recents riots.
Maybe I don’t understand yet how posts on Lemmy work, but is there no link/source for this post?
Edit: I can’t see it on desktop (lemmy dot world) and neither in Jerboa. Edit2: OP edited the post and included the link which now works. Seems the picture broke the link, according to OP.

Seconding that it appears to just be a photo with a text post. Broken link maybe? The photo looks like it could be from an article.
Yeah, I’m coming through lemmy.world on wefwef and don’t see a link
I can see the link on liftoff, but not trough connect
Weird, I can see the link. @histy @Gramatikal (see if mentioning works)
It links to a business insider article
Oh weird, adding a picture killed the link. Lemme see if I can fix that.
Sorry, I’m new here.
Now it works for me, thanks!
No problem. I just hope that soon these instances will support pulling thumbnails from the articles to give the links a richer presence here. They’re all so uniform and ugly right now.

If you’re viewing in compact mode on wefwef I believe that’s a known issue.
I’m not seeing it on desktop (lemmy dot world) and also not in the Jerboa app.
I’m coming here from kbin and see the link fine
Does kbin have any mobile apps yet?
No, there’s one called Artemis in dev but since kbin doesn’t have an a available API yet it’s not easy.
Maybe the government should listen to the people?
Perhaps the French govt should stop behaving against the will of the French people. 🤷
This is some very ironic, animal farm energy here. The government has forgotten who gave them their power.
Well tbf the Storming of the Bastille was (off the top of my head) two monarchies, two empires and two republics ago. Not to mention any communes, committees of public safety, or directories. How can you blame them for getting confused?? /s
They do still have multiple programs in place to ensure the populace always has bread. They haven’t completely forgotten.
A tale as old as
Romantimes
I know they did this to weaken protests, BUT… I’d say everywhere in the world would be a much better place if we banned fireworks forever.
It’s always struck me as rather odd that, in the US, one of our major holidays celebrating the military features fireworks considering how awful they can be for many veterans’ PTSD.
Why does that strike you as odd? America doesn’t care about its veterans.
Unfortunately our military is way too big to give veterans the proper care they need.
I think the average person wants to support veterans, but when you have 26 million of them it makes it extremely costly.
Maybe we should have less wars?
Just spitballing here.
I absolutely agree, I’m conservative and am fine with cutting 80% of our foreign military activity.
Using that money to help folk here including veterans.
I feel like agreeing is some sorta trap for some reason.
All I know is I protested the Iraq war and I protested our involvement with the “moderates” in Syria.
I don’t think it’s a trap.
I was only 9 when we invaded Iraq, I wasn’t in much of a position to protest.
But seeing for the majority of my life, how that played out, along with studying American history and our involvement in other countries the last ~70ish years has made me a borderline military pacifist. We spent some 10-20 trillion on an endless war that got us absolutely nothing, and killed millions of people across the world. What Americans life was positively impacted from that?
I’m almost always going to say to stay out of foreign conflicts going onward.

I’ve never met one Veteran that was against planned fireworks displays. It’s the backyard ones that are the issue.
I mean when I set off some fireworks I am not trying to mess with some vet. You are right however, I should be more aware of this issue.
I hate fireworks but this seems like a good reason to keep them around.
You can have my fireworks when you pry them from my cold, dead fingers. Which are over there, near the fireworks.
So…if the government turns on the people, what do the French have to protect themselves with?
Guillotines
The citizens just ask the politicians to come to the guillotines, plz?
So a temp ban. Nice clickbait headline there bastardinsider . com.
Roll out the guillotines! It’s time to get this party started already. It’s been long enough that the rich billionaires in the world meet their fate.
Can you smell it? Revolution is coming.
lol, okay there. Let’s settle down and wipe the Doritos from your face, Chequito. This protest has very little to do with any sort of revolution, and even if it did, your next in line after Macron is currently Le Pen, who would simply make things even worse. So really, I don’t think you understand what the fuck you’re talking about.
