All of France have been protesting the most recent laws Macron has been pushing and today i'm seeing a fucking tweet from "Youth with Macron" about how Macron now set up a "Free condoms in pharmacy for people under 25" campaign, which has for slogan, and i kid you not, "Make love, not protest :)" i'm going to yell i'm going to yell i'M GOING TO YELL MACRON YOUR PEOPLE WANT TO KILL YOU MACRON THEY'RE SINGING ABOUT BEHEADING YOU WHAT ARE YOU DOING.

#MAKE LOVE NOT PROTEST??? MAKE LOVE NOT PROTEST????????????????? #it's a wordplay bc 'Make Love Not War' is said 'faite l'amour pas la guerre' #and war (guerre) and the specific type of protest where you skip work to go in the street and block things #is called a grève so it sounds similar #BUT HOW DO YOU DO A CAMPAIGN ABOUT 'DONT PROTEST GO FUCK INSTEAD' #DURING 'EVERYONE IS GETTING MURDEROUS ABOUT YOU' PROTEST #IM LOSING MY MIND IM LOSING MY MIND IM- #sorry being french on main again but 1) troubled times currently #2) with my En!Twt dead i spend more time on my Fr!Twt that i use to keep up with the news anyway #please im going tO CRY 'MAKE LOVE NOT PROTEST'????????????????????????????? #ichatalks #yknow how ppl keep saying Marie Antoinette's last words were 'let them have cake' #over the revolutionary crowd that was starving #and that it's historically false (she never said that and her last words were 'oh i'm sorry' bc she walked on the foot of her executioner) #well 'make love not protest' is probably much more accurate to the feeling 'let them have cake' is supposed to give #ie: the tonal dissonance of completely missing out how much your people want you dead #except that out of the two this is the one that is historically accurate #losing my MIND #also yes idk how much macron had a say in this slogan at all #and how much is just the org supporting him #buT YOU CAN SEE WHY IM ?????????
