FRENCH STUDENTS HUMILIATED RE EDUCATION REFORM PROTESTS
France can do backflips about education reform until it is the color purple.
These students, because they are the West youth, have a poor prognosis for prosperity going forward.
Why? Convergolescence.
They can twist and turn, take money from the super wealthy they can tap, French expats, tax renegades, whatever.
It won't help much, really.
Convergolescence is not about taking back wealth from the superwealthy at all.
Limiting French education to favor a minority won't make much difference at all either.
It won't help the minority much; and it won't hurt the disadvantaged educational majority much more than already under way, anyway, either.
French protests, even French Revolution, won't, can't, take France out of the chute of convergolescence.
The Age of the Democratic Revolution.
Once France lost its colonies, it gradually became just another beached economic whale on the Western coast of Eurasia.
Imagine if France had kept Louisiana, and or Canada?
Imagine if Britain had kept the colonies, India; kept the Middle East as joint protectorates?
Whole different story, now....unimaginably different.
The period of the Seven Years War, or The French and Indian War, really was the turning point.
At this point, things began to turn south for the West.

Vox can weigh in. Dylan Matthews, someone like that.
