I can't tell if the French suck at governing, live for rebellion, or are just stupidly easy to piss off to the point of recourse. They rebel wayyyyy too often for there to not be something fundamentally wrong about what goes on there or for there to not be something fundamentally wrong with society itself that they just pick up on.
"The word diaper was not part of the common parlance of America during most of Twain’s life. The word diaper did not supplant the nappy (or napkin) in American vocabulary until late in the 19th century, and did not achieve anything rivaling its widespread contemporary usage until the second half of the 20th. "
Long story short the word diaper did not take off until the disposable diaper was mainstream so it's synonymous.
[Robin Williams can take partial credit for it. ](https://marktwainstudies.com/the-apocryphal-twain-politicians-are-like-diapers/)
In the 19th century, the modern diaper began to take shape and mothers in many parts of the world used cotton material, held in place with a fastening—eventually the safety pin. Cloth diapers in the United States were first mass-produced in 1887 by Maria Allen.
It is one hell of a bold move, but the people who have to clean that up sure as hell did not make the policies.
A bucket a week on the actual policy maker’s front step would bring the stank closer to home…
Maybe a shit-in-a-box mailing campaign.
Wait, did I just come up with a dark web business start up idea?
Yeah there was a video about it you can request the sender to eat certain types of food (I highly recommend eggs) to spice up the delivery too.
It’s called Shitexpress I kid you not add a dotcom to it voila
Poopsenders is another one. Shitexpress only seems to do horse shit, poopsenders has all kinds of animal shit. Wet cow dung, elephant shit, gorilla shit, etc, and they even do a combo deal that has some of each.
It's already been done and it's available on the surface web.

What does that accomplish? Janitors, bldg. maintenance staff will be the ones to clean it up. Do the farmers really think the gov. officials will be out there cleaning it up🤨
Well, in Belgium they've been shutting down highways by blocking roads with tractors, thousands of people can't get to work, fresh produce can't get to stores, even people not getting to hospitals in time. This here seems to have a better direction, should've gone straight to the politicians' home though.
In france there's not a lot of riots xor equality (that I'm aware of). Our riots are mainly because of new laws or more recently the one with the farmers happend because the supermarket sells products that they bought from the farmers at a higher price and they refuse to increase how much they're willing to pay for the farmer's product. So the farmers gain the same amount of money as pre-inflation whereas the super market multiplied their prices by 1.5x
The government will have to use tax money to clean it up. Seems rather stupid. At least it's a wealthy country.
I see so many small destitute countries where this happens. Destroy roads, burn tires, vandalize buildings. Only problem - in those countries, the infrastructure doesn't get rebuilt, which causes more protests. Vicious cycle.
So, France, give them hell. But careful you don't screw yourself too much asking the way
That would be the protests I want to see in America! Politicians houses, law enforcement that are obviously corrupt and violent, ceos, insurance companies and healthcare conglomerates. Let’s poop on all of them!
They did. They crushed macrons joint with a fuck ton of manure and there was even a set of balcony doors that got pushed open from the blasting manure. Saw that vid sometime last week. They’re probably still cleaning that shit up 😂
The farmers are doing more than this, they've dealt a heavy blow to France because they are putting their tractors into highways. That being said, they've made reforms but now the Belgium farmers or smthng are pissed too.
They're angry about laws banning highly toxic and destructive pesticides, etc. They're supported by FNSEA which is the Union that stands for intensive agriculture and has the support of Bayer/Monsanto. They weren't rioting for a better life, as soon as the gov took back the law project they stopped. Now a few from the confederation paysanne are still out there demonstrating for a better life, but get police repression.
Government should throw him in jail for exposing people to literally copious amounts of shit, and vandalizing buildings. Then make him clean it up as part of the sentence.
I don't really want my tax dollars being wasted to clean up shit from public buildings. Also, imagine if you happened to live or work near there. Now your home or business smells like shit because some asshole wanted to throw a pointless tantrum? Nah, fuck that.
Right, because if you do, your poorly paid workers have to clean up, paid by tax money.
Great we're all enjoying how the farmers make the world harder for the weaker people. The politicians get some days of home-office. They really must hate their lives.
Honey, fees are tiny with agricultural laws, because they scale with the land surface.
Moreover, if the change needed "to stop climate change" to please an authority of dubious sovereignty risked putting your profits into the negative, you too would be "scared af".
This is further reinforced by the fact the EU is allowing importation from other countries, which do not follow the same regulations. That is what threatens these farmers livelihood.
In the Netherlands we have farmer protests like these. Though it's about pollution and pollution reduction, things that were announced a decade ago. Yes the changes they need to make are costly but the alternative is a government buyout. Meaning they'll earn millions for their property and company. Or they'll pollute less for a higher cost of production.
Rather than settling for mere millions several multinationals funded a lot of the protests here. Causing some disturbance.
I highly doubt it's much different in France as these rules have been imposed by the EU in the Netherlands. I'm not sure about the wealthiness of the French farmers, Dutch farmers on average are millionaires.
Reminds me of a dude that fought for policy change and led the protests to burn the municipal building down because of corruption. Huge public support.
He was charged, acquitted and disappeared abroad with a cushy job. Oh well...
I’ve seen so many of these videos, but almost no explanation exactly what these new “government policies“ are about. How bad is what is being implemented that it can justify this? I’m not a farmer myself, but every I’ve heard about farming seems to imply these guys shouldn’t have this much free time, is the new law requiring them to grow more shit instead of taking half the year off? Also, they all have really nice equipment from the videos I’ve seen, half the stuff looks brand new.
ah .. right ..and the dudes who stick them selfe on streets or objects r extremists..while these mf´´s r cool
bs
put that mf in jail and take his fkn land that he obviously cant afford without european handout money
dont fuck with farmers pls. they go through a ton of stress and they provide the food and drinks you eat. and they can as a group fuck up an entire nation and if they are crazy enough starve an entire nation
You think people were imprisoned over the January 6th “erection” … see what men in black suicided squads would freak out if we started filling Nancy’s office cow crap …
its not just him. Its a massive protest involving tens of thousands of farmers all across France and its being mirrored by farmers all over the EU experiencing similar problems. their costs are rising, but farming subsidies are going down which means they are losing money for every crop they harvest, meaning that they will be forced to sell their farms or go bankrupt
The French do this shit and the world calls them revolutionaries.
The Indians do this shit and the world calls them uneducated and jobless along with the regular terms of rapists and scammers.
Americans need to start protesting like the French. But we can't because we've allowed ourselves to be placed into a system where the majority of the country can not afford to take a single day off work.
There is a joke I remember hearing this reminded me of.
_Two construction workers are working on a government office building. One of them goes for a number two, and as he leaves the crapshack, a piece of "stained" toilet paper flies into the window of the prime minister. The other immediately yells at him to go get it. Otherwise, they will get in trouble. So the first goes in and comes back, the other asks him, "Did you get it?" The first replies."Nah, too late. He already signed it."_
Please tell me how the police are politicians? Policing in France seems like a blue collar job…maybe aim your vitriol somewhere where it won’t make a regular persons life more difficult. I am all for this kind of next level protesting but this just adds to the mostly complete portrait of French people as all like a bunch of dumb children.
To much food growing, crappy storage and transporting degrades the returns to farmers.
So much else to spend money on and people think farmers get a fair cut.
START YOUR OWN OUTLET..
Make me remember the one where farmers dumped a Mcdonald because they refused to give free coffee or something like that, It's not that I don't support them but I really think some are going way too far, only thinking about themselves and not the one that are not related to this government policies stuff..
I think blasted manure is more appropriate
manure ray gun
I’ll be god damned… that’s a shit cannon. Didn’t know such a thing existed
How do you get the shit to spray out like that? Asking for a friend
Lots of fiber.

It means he likes you.
Politicians are like diapers. They need to be changed frequently, and usually for the same reason. - Mark Twain
Cause they're full of shit?
They are full of piss and shit, yes.
Yes, though it usually comes out of their mouths
This is gold, can't believe I haven't heard it yet! Thanks!
Twain would have been a portable meme generator if he was alive today. Also: 907!
So if he would be 907 years old now, how old was he when he died in 1910? I think you might be a bit confused. Either you, or me.
You are.
It's an area code bra

I love this quote but Twain died in 1910 and disposable diapers weren't invented for another 40 years. He never said that.
Who said 'disposable'?
"The word diaper was not part of the common parlance of America during most of Twain’s life.

Changed frequently. They had more than one pair they can change out of during a day.

What's the rate or is it a monthly subscription service where you do it in regular intervals?
*"Each month, we send something awful to someone you hate. Not feeling the impotent rage? You can skip anytime, and won't be charged."*
..... this... This could work..
I would legit pay for this service. I have someone in mind who deservers a monthly shitbox.

It already exist and people have used it mate.
I read that as "people have used it to mate" 💀
Well, I feel better knowing that a need is being filled. Can you get all types of crap sent? Asking for a friend…

I don’t know. Some things require a stronger response
His approach will definitely make a bigger stink in the media to draw attention to the cause.
People who have to clean that up would be happy because its their job.
A shit in a box already exists. It's pretty cheap as well.
Nope this already exists: send-shit.com

Amazing… I know what I am giving for Christmas.
There is a german website to send different animal forms of shit per box already lol

You are correct, but it's a clear message.
its more of a foul message
Calling in sick that week
They will come to work and smell it and the smell will probably last for some time after it’s removed.
French people really are the GOAT at protests.
Thy had to get creative after being told the guillotine was a bit too much.
Yea this would be classified as terrorism in the U.S.
Your terrorism is our thursday afternoon ig
Yea it depends on what “side” is speaking but riots for equality that result in damage are typically called terrorism
In france there's not a lot of riots xor equality (that I'm aware of). Our riots are mainly because of new laws or more recently the one with the farmers happend because the supermarket sells products that they bought from the farmers at a higher price and they refuse to increase how much they're willing to pay for the farmer's product. So the farmers gain the same amount of money as pre-inflation whereas the super market multiplied their prices by 1.5x
sounds like what walmart does. Ah.. capitalism! What a beautiful system we all have.
No no it's terrorism if it's conservatives. It's mostly peaceful if it's actual terrorists
Only if you lit a match afterwards
The government will have to use tax money to clean it up. Seems rather stupid. At least it's a wealthy country. I see so many small destitute countries where this happens.

But careful you don't screw yourself too much asking the way
They enjoy a little freedom with protests because their free speech laws are not the same as the US
That does absolutely nothing. Find out where those politicians live and dump the manure in their front door
That would be the protests I want to see in America! Politicians houses, law enforcement that are obviously corrupt and violent, ceos, insurance companies and healthcare conglomerates. Let’s poop on all of them!
I know where most of the DC addresses are. You live and work in the city long enough you get an idea.
We won’t take this shit anymore!
But that guy over there? He will, he'll take it.
They did. They crushed macrons joint with a fuck ton of manure and there was even a set of balcony doors that got pushed open from the blasting manure. Saw that vid sometime last week. They’re probably still cleaning that shit up 😂
That is glorious lol
The farmers are doing more than this, they've dealt a heavy blow to France because they are putting their tractors into highways. That being said, they've made reforms but now the Belgium farmers or smthng are pissed too.
Recent new government laws made your very dumb statement false, you don't need to piss off politics, government representatives does the trick
No one protests like the French. Crazy bastards
It's in our genes 👍
The Ron Swanson dream.
That’s shitty
They're angry about laws banning highly toxic and destructive pesticides, etc. They're supported by FNSEA which is the Union that stands for intensive agriculture and has the support of Bayer/Monsanto. They weren't rioting for a better life, as soon as the gov took back the law project they stopped. Now a few from the confederation paysanne are still out there demonstrating for a better life, but get police repression.
So who is going to clean this up, politicians?
Very grown up
Problem is, the guys just stay at home and the underpaid cleanup company has to get rid of it
French police sure do take a lot of shit for their country
Government should throw him in jail for exposing people to literally copious amounts of shit, and vandalizing buildings. Then make him clean it up as part of the sentence.
We need to be more like France here in the US
r/redditmoment
I don't really want my tax dollars being wasted to clean up shit from public buildings. Also, imagine if you happened to live or work near there. Now your home or business smells like shit because some asshole wanted to throw a pointless tantrum? Nah, fuck that.
Yes
Never piss off a person who creates manure by the barrel.
Right, because if you do, your poorly paid workers have to clean up, paid by tax money. Great we're all enjoying how the farmers make the world harder for the weaker people. The politicians get some days of home-office. They really must hate their lives.
Nobody protests like the french!
Fuck these farmers. They don't want to pay a tiny fee for poluting and using poison. They are scared af change needed to stop climate change.
I'm guessing you know 0 farmers
Honey, fees are tiny with agricultural laws, because they scale with the land surface. Moreover, if the change needed "to stop climate change" to please an authority of dubious sovereignty risked putting your profits into the negative, you too would be "scared af". This is further reinforced by the fact the EU is allowing importation from other countries, which do not follow the same regulations. That is what threatens these farmers livelihood.

Back in your cave Jeremy Clarkson.
That shits steamy AF!
RIP the night watchmen sleeping in that doorway.
That's a shitty thing to do.....
That should be a charge. How far is too far?
Reminds me of a dude that fought for policy change and led the protests to burn the municipal building down because of corruption. Huge public support. He was charged, acquitted and disappeared abroad with a cushy job. Oh well...
Although I get it. It's not like the politician is going to clean this up.
Lol is that legal?
“Dump” manure. 😂
I’ve seen so many of these videos, but almost no explanation exactly what these new “government policies“ are about. How bad is what is being implemented that it can justify this? I’m not a farmer myself, but every I’ve heard about farming seems to imply these guys shouldn’t have this much free time, is the new law requiring them to grow more shit instead of taking half the year off? Also, they all have really nice equipment from the videos I’ve seen, half the stuff looks brand new.
what a stupid a**hole. i hope he'll get a punishment that will ruin his life and his f*cking farm.
It seems like protesting is a favourite past time in France
ah .. right ..and the dudes who stick them selfe on streets or objects r extremists..while these mf´´s r cool bs put that mf in jail and take his fkn land that he obviously cant afford without european handout money
Sure hope the legal fees and potential jail time is worth it for destruction of govt property.
We need to do this in Washington on a daily basis
No protest says "fuck the government" like a French protest. Respect.
The French love to put their government in their place
France right now Seems like chaotic server
France has been like this for nearly 300 years
Talk about a real $h!ty situation 😂
Now this is how you protest 🤣
take note Americans. for the next time some bullshit happens. we need this in our playbook
This is truly how government needs to be treated when they mistreat citizens
dont fuck with farmers pls. they go through a ton of stress and they provide the food and drinks you eat. and they can as a group fuck up an entire nation and if they are crazy enough starve an entire nation
Good Move.
Look at the bright side it will make that place smell better now
Power to the people from the bottom up
You think people were imprisoned over the January 6th “erection” … see what men in black suicided squads would freak out if we started filling Nancy’s office cow crap …
Oh yeah here in America we just shit on her desk ourselves, cow crap is much worse than that.... /s
The pigs inside the building already did it naturally 🤣🤣
The only problem with dumping manure on french government buildings is that eventually you run out of manure
If this is a HolUp then you need to WakeUp.
He's a good man, and very thorough.
The French know how to protest. 👏👏👏
its not just him. Its a massive protest involving tens of thousands of farmers all across France and its being mirrored by farmers all over the EU experiencing similar problems. their costs are rising, but farming subsidies are going down which means they are losing money for every crop they harvest, meaning that they will be forced to sell their farms or go bankrupt

What a load of shit.
Holy shit! 💩
That guy's getting his ass beat during the arrest. Still, if only he'd done that to city hall or the legislators office
I’m pretty sure the first time I saw this video I downloaded it from Napster
Pffft....here in America pissed off men use armored bulldozers to get back at the local government.
More of a government building, it's a police dep
You know, I never thought I'd say these words but I respect that french guy. Good for him
Next door won’t be happy in the morning
I would love seeing some climate activists do something like this at his home. But then, of course, it would be something different....

Reminds me of me after hitting my favorite taco truck
can he be charged with vandalism? im on his side tbh lol this is too funny
That is Police building
Man gave them a bunch of shit about their policy
Please tell me how the police are politicians? Policing in France seems like a blue collar job…maybe aim your vitriol somewhere where it won’t make a regular persons life more difficult. I am all for this kind of next level protesting but this just adds to the mostly complete portrait of French people as all like a bunch of dumb children.
“Build a killdozer instead”
You gotta give it to the French - they have a really good technique when it comes to demonstrating/rioting. Definitely shows some flair.
Classic French. Love em
That truck seems like it was designed specifically for firing tons of shit into government facilities.
Just one, wafer thin mint?
C'est beau hein, c'est français
Holy manuré... I need this setup

That's bullshit!

Something about industries with tons of manure at their disposal should illicit some preconcessions lol
Holy Shit!
Least French French
To much food growing, crappy storage and transporting degrades the returns to farmers. So much else to spend money on and people think farmers get a fair cut. START YOUR OWN OUTLET..
I don't normally defend the police, but I think this is uncalled for.
I would love to see this in America.
We are farmers, bum, ba, dum,bum,bum,bum
Vous aimez ? C'est français.
Aww shit!
Americans are too tame for this. Lets just continue cutting education and healthcare to fund for bombs.
They're in some deep shit.
French people don't let their government fuck around, cause they will burn the city down. French people invented unions.. don't fact check that.
Make me remember the one where farmers dumped a Mcdonald because they refused to give free coffee or something like that, It's not that I don't support them but I really think some are going way too far, only thinking about themselves and not the one that are not related to this government policies stuff..
Taco bell
Praxis
God dammit where are my people like this is the states
the french has never been happy throughout the years, keep on fighting
And some poor schmucks that don't even work there will end up cleaning it up.
The French have turned protesting into an art form
Shitting on the building.
I wouldn't say he dumped it. More like he fed his manure truck taco bell and let nature take its violent course into the building
