I'm SO PROUD of my country 🇫🇷🗼!
We're once again teaching the world about what civilization should look like.
Other peoples still confuse civilization with order, obedience and intact street furniture. France has moved beyond such provincial definitions.
We know that a society only becomes truly enlightened when its citizens are educated enough to express their HUMAN RIGHTS through fire.
For centuries, France explained universalism to less fortunate peoples with missionaries, administrators, soldiers and schoolmasters.
Today the pedagogy has become more democratic. The curriculum is delivered directly in the street: liberty by insubordination, equality by generalised inconvenience, fraternity by collective property damage.
We do not riot because civilization has failed.
We riot because, as usual, France has decided civilization is not ambitious enough.
Don't say we have gone soft since the French Revolution!
