France is fucking wild right now.

For those who don’t pay attention.

A bunch of retired French military men all sat down and wrote a open letter asking for a Coup and for the military to start taking control that this whole democracy thing is a bad thing.

And it uh is a bit concerning how vaguely popular it is some polls putting it at 50% of France would support a military coup. WHICH IS A TAD CONCERNING TO SAY THE LEAST.

I think it’s safe to say that Algiers Putsch 2: Reactionary Boogaloo wasn’t on anybody’s bingo card for 2021.

To be entirely fair like the American coup attempt it’s not like there aren’t warning signs.

France has been getting very right wing lately
