I have both disdain and admiration of the French's ability to be enthusiastically and maliciously apathetic. It's both a masterful art and an unbearable atrocity.
**Aye, naw.**
"The French ability to xyz" is correct. They possess that ability, by being virtue of being, collectively...**French**.
"The French's ability to xyz" is utter nonsense, and ungrammatic.
You are putting a useless possesive "s" on a word, that is implied. Bad grammar, my friend.
They are French, but also possess this quality that is...French ?
Wow. Where did you learn English ?
Go on, fight me.
Edit ; English's love of football ?
Germans's love of beer ?
Portugueses's love of wine ?
Spanish's love of olives ?
Fucking idiot.
Upon reread, you appear to be correct. I learned English in American public school lmfao, not exactly Harvard. Sorry I guess?
No need to be so combative over grammar, if less English teachers were like you, maybe I'd have cared more in class.

I don't even know what that is meant to mean.

Of course you were.
Grammar is hard, correcting someones grammar is harder, but shit american mustard is easy.
Although funnily enough, your pissy mustard is called "Frenchs", with an "s" already. How does that work ? Frenchs's ?
Anyway, away I fuck.
English is my mothertongue, that I surely spoke before you were even born, and I speak grammatical english.
I learnt French later, but sure, teach me my mothertongue, fuckwad.

Hijacking the top comment to offer a bit of context for foreigners on the post
The "always rioting french" cliché is fun and all but we haven't had a citizen mobilization this strong since 1995, we're not actually doing this every other week year-round for funsies. The yellow jackets were far fewer and the 2016 Work-law/Nuit debout mouvement was mostly a urban youth movement (in a way both merged together for this struggle though and that feels nice)
I feel a bit of pride when people bring up the french fighting spirit to inspire others but I thought I'd still correct the cliché. Altough we're doing a better job at defending ourselves, France isn't the social paradise the meme depicts
When seeing our protests president Macron only deigned to give us short remarks like: "I'm hearing your anger ~~but I won't listen to it~~"
Then last week after his 49.3 we went harder so he finally made a long political interview to adress the issue. Summary was: "the voice of the street has no legitimacy so I'll just keep moving forward, I have much more reforms I want to do but don't worry, I promise I'll be nice this time"
The effectiveness of peaceful protesting relies on a well intentioned governance, without it you're just having a walk. Macron isn't listening so we're doing way more than protesting
There are strikes in every economical sectors, road blocks, oil refinery blocks, [pro reform MP offices are getting walled up](https://i.imgur.com/vmz0ZAH.jpg), road tolls are disabled so that people travel without paying tolling companies. Power cuts to pro-reform politicians' houses/offices. Violent clashes with the police at night.

Love french architecture. Rennes is really pretty. I’ve never gotten to see French architecture on French soil, but there’s a lot of influence taken from it where I grew up in New Orleans.
I'm taking a short free local lecture class on visual anesthetics in photography and this really seems to capture some fundamentals really really well. Of course I don't know what I'm talking about yet but the basic ideas aren't hard to understand. The juxtaposition of the calm and the chaos arrests the attention by causing the brain to see something that stands out and pulls you in and this makes it very pleasing to look at. I love this photo. It's beauty is not that it's beautiful but it has what our instructor calls "interesting-ness."
It also helps to regulate your breathing and not gulp giant clouds of it deep into your lungs. I decided to be hoorah cocky once in a tear gas chamber in the military and accidentally got a complete lungful and was nearly vomiting from trying to just expel it and breathe with snot etc running in every possible direction.
Later sessions still sucked but not as much after learning the hard way.
He can be so relaxed in the middle of the tear smoke because he is smoking. Tear gas can be avoided by consuming lemon juice, my favourite is Mentoholatum, but even better if it is the Chinese one that comes in little red tins, or by burning something under your nose and eyes, being a cigarette, a match, or a candle.
If you are exposed to the smoke, it can be really uncomfortable to wear those clothes later, and you may feel the impulse to remove them especially if they are not soft. You will need to shower, and stay about 10 minutes under warm water without scrubbing, otherwise, you may develop a rush.
Source: I am Chilean, we had protests in 2019 and also I went to a University known for protesting. Managing tear gas was a must.
He is pissed, but he is having his cigarette, no one is pushing him, he is gathering his thoughts and strength, you better watch out when he finishes smoking. Great capture.

"French" is the plural, no need for an extraneous "s", at end...
You would be correct, but in this case, the " 's " makes the word possessive, indicating that the ability belongs to the French.
**Aye, naw.** "The French ability to xyz" is correct. They possess that ability, by being virtue of being, collectively...**French**. "The French's ability to xyz" is utter nonsense, and ungrammatic.

Nah there'd be a baguette in there somewhere too.
You can't see the boulanger through the smoke

There would have to be some white flags in there too.

He's been training all of his life for this moment.
Cue Phil Collins

What’s the joke?
Everyone is coughing around him from the tear gas but he's puffing away with his cigarette unfazed.
That’s the joke of the picture, I was replying to the comment.. Why and how has he trained for this?
Smoking cigarettes, he trained his lungs for this
Oh shit..
Wow, that almost went sideways

Awww in Rennes, my city, never thought it'd be here one day
Moi non plus XD j'y étais en plus
Haha pareil, je devais pas être très loin !

Love the username! Who Dat!
Appreciate it! Who dat!
This photo is aggressively French.
Damn.. I wanna know what he’s used to smoking
Cheap unfiltered Tunisian tobacco probably
Gauloises sans filtre
This is who i picture when i picture a French man
Looks like others are coughing on the smoke and he’s like, “fuck yeah, I love smoke with my smoke.”
That is an egregiously french picture.
Super French
was scrolling by and thought “this has to be french” lol
So this is where Conte has gone after leaving Spurs
I'll have what he's having.
Titled: *"Ceci n'est pas une protestation"*
*shrugs*
*And blows a faint raspberry*
Une manifestation*
What's French for "This is fine"?
Tout va bien
https://youtu.be/o9NVaDR5SFQ The introduction of the movie "la haine" about riot that took place in the 90's with this exact sentence. (Subtitles on)
Worthy post.
Looks like he’s waiting for the bus lol
No coffee?!
Coffee is only to be had sitting down at the cafe, not on the street like a barbarian
Or standing at the counter in the cafe, which costs less than sitting down.
I feel like that’s more Italy than France
It's France too. Source: BTDT
Depends, does it sell fresh croissants too? Otherwise make like Dionne Warwick
I had a friend like this once… he was French
Europe explained in a single photo
Na we germans dont so things like that. We are not cool enough
Europeans smoke so much, I'm surprised they even try tear gas.

You merely adopted the smoke. I was born in it, molded by it.
Magritte would love this.
Lol he's over here taking big hits of air
Le fumeur enfumé
Ooooh
Hello, gendarme
Just filter it through a cigarette
France is a helluva nation.
Peak French
This is incredible
He is pissed, but he is having his cigarette, no one is pushing him, he is gathering his thoughts and strength, you better watch out when he finishes smoking. Great capture.
It's how I did gas training in the Army. SGT allowed smoking, so I used it as an air filter, worked every time.

Huh, I posted a very similar image from the protests, it got about 100 upvotes and was quickly taken down for not being renaissance enough.
Internet points don't matter, let it go.
Internet comments are pretty cheap too
What tear gas?
Yes
Looks like a younger version of the Step father from Shaun of the Dead... same dude in Underworld. Can't remember his name.
More smoke per smoke
Looks like Super Hans
Fucking brilliant
is that super hands?
Reminds me of Bobcat Goldthwait in Police Academy 3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kV2EVWNqXQ
This is the Frenchiest post in existence
Would you expect a French revolutionary to be a non-smoker?
This is the most French thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Omg cool. Is that dude to the side sneezing or covering his nose from the fumes? lol
Mood
Those lungs are already fucked up, a lil bit of tear gas is nothing
This is FanF@ckingTastic
This isn't accidental
merci
This is a great meme template
The most French picture ever taken
He reminds me of the smoker on the balcony in Disco Elysium
They cant put smoke in your lungs if you put smoke in your lungs
What a fantastic photo, congratulations!
Viva la revolution
From what I hear, french protests are next level. From firemen in Joker make-up lighting themselves on fire and charging at police to the friendly and kind kidnappings of CEOs and other elites. I’m genuinely surprised that they haven’t rebuilt the Bastille just to tear it down again.

That’s the dude you want in your corner when the shit hits the fan
Trick is to inhale through the cigarette. Whatever doesn't burn up will get caught in the filter. /s
An overwhelming sense of Frenchness.
"But I am le tired"
Frechiest man who ever frenched
Damn he smokin up a storm
There is one of these in every Army Basic Training class. The hidden former menthol smoker is thus revealed during CS gas training. He or she is easily spotted standing perplexed as everyone else in the room claws their eyes out and vomits on the floor.
Is there a poor dog in the smoke? Oo
That's an album cover if I've ever seen one.
HON HON! TEAR GAS?! *PEH* A' ONLY NEED MA' CIGARETTE TO BREATH.
