Alright, have your point, you speak french better than a frenchman I hope you are happy.

Right now on the stream : apparently royalists are mascarading as antifas

I clearly speak English better than you.

I don't even believe you are a Frenchman, or else you would be in the streets and not posting on here.

[Cathar]

Tu fais pitié, mec. T'as apparemment aucune idée de quoi tu parle, et dans mon pays on tend à penser que c'est une bonne idée de fermer son piège à rat, dans ce genre de situation.

France had just one revolution. You're thinking about our number of republics.

First republic after the revolution, second republic after the restauration, third republic after the franco german war under Napoleon III, fourt republic of vichy, fifth republic under De Gaulle and forward.

Also nah. That is something akin to the suburban revolts of 2006. We have a lot of that.
It is bigger than usual tho, but as long as things are kept under control we're good.

The danger is not a revolution, that shit will not happen. The danger is some minority politician or military official using this as an occasion to seize power

You mean the 2005 riots that were not done by French people but instead by migrants into France?

The last time French people rioted was 1968

You really don't know anything clearly.


There are no 2006 riots...

Everything I know about France, I learned from Francis Veber and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.

No. Military coups are not revolutions.

Remember kids:
If it's from within a government (military still counts as government): it's a coup.
If it's from without a government: it's a revolution.

The definition of revolution disagrees with you.

Remember kiddies if you don't understand definitions, no one will ever take you seriously.

>"France had 5 revolutions !!"
>No France had five republic among which one of them was brought upon by a revolution
>"Any change of regime is now a revolution !"

Dude please let the grown up talk

[DFNewb]

"Any change of regime is now a revolution !"

Any FORCED change of regime is a revolution.

That's quite literally the definition yet you are too stupid to understand it.

As scriver pointed out, DFNewb is a self-declared steroid junkie who has started several (in)famous threads in Life Advice. Don't engage him. It's better to regard him as comic relief and move on.

Real classy bro. Sounds like you are still butthurt from months ago when I was on vacation.

[Cathar]

Oh. My bad !
To the ignore list he goes. Sorry, I didn't knew better. Thanks chairman.

[Kagus]

I really do like Veber though.

I really do like Veber though.

I prefer Louis de Funès acting in the movie series Le Gendarme.

I am basing my definition on those of political scientists. Not on a random dictionary. But hey, thump that book if it makes you feel better.

EDIT: As to why I'm bothering with engaging with this nonsense: someone else might believe that any act of a government being toppled is a revolution from reading this. So it's important to contest misinformation.
