As I'm watching things play out in France and thinking about what it means for the rest of the western world, I'm coming to some personal conclusions.
Call me a fear-porn mongerer, a doomsday fanatic, whatever you want.

Color Revolution or Soft Martial Law? The Real Dystopian Path...
By "color revolution" are you saying race war? That's what it sounds like.
Colour revolution (sometimes coloured revolution) is a term used since around 2004 by worldwide media to describe various anti-regime protest movements and accompanying (attempted or successful) changes of government that took place in post-Soviet Eurasia during the early 21st century—namely countries of the former Soviet Union ...
In January the general staff quietly established ten working groups to examine the country’s readiness for high-intensity war. French generals reckon that they have a decade or so to prepare for it. The groups cover everything from munition shortages to the resilience of society, including whether citizens are “ready to accept the level of casualties we have never seen since world war two”, says one participant. The spectre of high-end war is now so widespread in French military thinking that the scenario has its own acronym: hem, or hypothèse d'engagement majeur (hypothesis of major engagement). The presumed opponents are unnamed, but analysts point not only to Russia, but also Turkey or a North African country.

The French always find some reason to riot, burn cars and cause mayhem. A couple of months ago, there were riots about changing the pension age. Before that were the Yellow Vests. They once rioted over British sheep.
