A somewhat cynical analysis of the protests in France.

I received this piece personally, and I'm curious to know if it's accurate.
Lately, the media has been flooded with news about the protests in France rather than Germany.
If you understand even a little bit of French history, this isn't something to be particularly surprised by.
In my opinion, since the French Revolution—no, even since the Bourbon dynasty took power under Henry IV in the 16th century—France has undergone a modernization process that is distinctly different from Germany, the UK, etc. As a result, their way of handling socio-economic issues or crises is very different.
Rather than gradual reform (UK) or institutionalized conflict resolution (Germany), France has experienced repeated transformations through revolutions or mass movements.
Therefore, someone who has observed French social structures or history would likely feel that this current situation hasn't changed much.
Even after the revolution, the state's centralized system remained completely unchanged, along with the almost absolute status of Catholicism, the elitism centered around the Grandes Écoles,
and the idea that "all roads lead to Paris!"
If you removed songs containing the word "Paris," half of all Chansons would vanish.
France is just France.
I'm not sure how it turned out, but Macron even tried to abolish the Sciences Po he graduated from.
It seems history repeats itself to some extent, just changing its form.
Looking at the videos, the scale and severity of the protests in France seem massive and serious,
but then again, when I think about it, it feels like France has always had these kinds of intense protests from time to time...
What are your thoughts?
