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?
Yeah. Keep in mind the rich people of this would would gladly rape babies if it made them more money.
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.
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.
If you’re viewing in compact mode on wefwef I believe that’s a known issue.
Oh weird, adding a picture killed the link. Lemme see if I can fix that.
Sorry, I’m new here.
Weird, I can see the link. @histy @Gramatikal (see if mentioning works)
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.
Perhaps the French govt should stop behaving against the will of the French people. 🤷
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.
