This is an apt description of how things are, sadly. And it all starts at the crib when parents teach their children blind obedience.
And since when are the French blindly obedient? Is that really their reputation?
But when you actually see interviews with French rioters you find they're all conspiracy theorists who think they've uncovered French QAnon. Or they're farmers who want even more subsidies and want to get rid of climate policy.
