At first I thought that picture was real. Then I find out it was created by AI:

Viral Photo Of Farmers Protesting In Paris Near Eiffel Tower Actually Fake

I did wonder how those bales could have gone up without the Paris cops mowing down the farmers. That's what would have happened in the US - and then it would be another January 6.

Caught by an AI image - that's embarrassing for me. Or maybe not, since these days anything is possible, so a mountain of hay bales in Paris - why not? I'd like to see that done in Washington except using a mountain of rotting carcasses of dead steers to represent the Gaza genocide.

Hey - thanks for that RSH. This was my first 'short' and it was 'instructive'. I will amend my post.

I think most of us wish it was real- the farmers certainly have the chutzpah and I would be honored to pitch in and help stack the bales! I’ve been “banging the can” that folks should invest in pitchforks to march on the abodes of fat cats and let’em know we mean business! Many worthy choices- sod forks, manure forks, hay forks (very pointy!), pitchforks, stone forks, flat rakes, etc. A classic action for our “brave new world”! (Gas masks recommended)

I prefer samurai swords. "Off with their heads!"

I believe you are actually referring to the French Revolution of 1789, though you repeated refer to the Revolution of 1879! Then again, you might be referring to the Revolution of 1848 and the removal of the July Monarchy. Please clarify.

I haven't got the excuse of being dyslexic either. Thanks - I've altered it.
