I’m English and we will readily admit that the French are champions of the protest.

EDIT: If they bring the farmers in, it’s game over.

The French firefighter’s protests are next level. They use all their firefighting gear at the protest.

Police use tear gas, they’ve got breathing equipment

Police use water cannon, their water cannon is bigger.

Last time they protested they wore their protective gear and set themselves on fire.

Lmao setting yourself on fire to prove a point is as French as it can get.

Props to the French for not letting themselves be trampled by politicians.

It was most mediatic one worldwide but people setting themselves on fire for various reasons does happen occasionnaly on different countries, sometimes it has a lasting impact and you hear about it non stop, sometimes it barely gets reported

Depends if the media that you read wants you to know about it or not.

Let's not forget Jan Palach and the other protesters who immolated themselves in Eastern Europe.
