I can’t pretend I’m not enjoying this. No, really, I’ll be totally honest with y’all.

What needs to happen is finally happening in France and is spreading all across Europe. I’m getting to see it happen in near-real time, and it’s exhilarating. The working class is catching fire and rising up, and the ruling class is shitting bricks.
