    Monkey sees, monkey does.

    What this government does, the bureaucrats follow.

    Another General De Gaulle? French democracy seems based on people taking to the streets to protest. Les gilets jaunes is just the latest iteration. Is the current situation worse than the 1960's? We are up to the Fifth Republic so far. When will the Sixth Republic arrive?

    No, left is not supporting democracy. Definitely not the current left in first world. Also mobs... like BLM riots right? And Hitler's party was leftist. I mean it's already happening, rewriting books, renaming goods etc.
    Extreme left and extreme right do share the same playbook, whether storming the Bastille or storming The Capitol. In crises, the moderate left and right share common ground too.

    Absolutely. We can not all represent NZ as an All Black for example. Lets apologise to all "want to be" All Blacks for not being accepted for the team.

    Ambiguous. Will that involve a sex change, or are you already one?

    In that case, I would suggest you don't try it!
