Mostly young folks who don't give a rats a$$ about pensions.
Sick of Macron and don't want to be led into WW3.
-Removed-The politics in France don't concern me. Shoot fire, I could take over the country with a peashooter. I refer back to the first two world wars.
First foreign legionaire: What does this silly American have?
Second legionaire: A peashooter. That could sting or put out ze eye, no?
1st: Oh no! He has a sling shot!
2nd: Get ze white flag!

OK, I will refer back to them too.
Do you seriously think something happened in WW1 that can be likened to Germany "taking over" France and doing so "with a peashooter"?
Surely, in WW1, the 1,300,000 French soldiers who died ~ successfully repelling the German invaders ~ say something different?
As for WW2, in Europe ~ including the liberation of Europe from the Germans ~ France lost 217,000 soldiers, the U.S. lost 290,000, the U.K. lost 260,000, and Canada lost 42,000. Was the Wehrmacht that swept west in 1940 really something that can be likened to "a peashooter"?
Why would you choose to ~ if you'll pardon my metaphor ~ urinate on the graves of people who lost their lives beating the Nazis?
You are peddling a historically-illiterate fatuous American trope that deserves to be retired from adult conversations.
