I thought that it might be ok to add this attachment, which are the astonishing (to me) revendications of some gilet jaunes: to propose new laws, to request the dismissal of parliamentary representatives, to disagree with laws currently being debated, to propose modifications to the constitution.

Feeling demoralised, I forget how extremely different life might be - could be much worse, but also could be way more open. Even if/ knowing this would immediately be corrupted... in my imagination and theirs something exists that can be debated.
At the same time, the battle to maintain a creative consciousness in any circumstance...
