I kind of feel sorry for Macron.

He just did what people said they want (a modest attempt to combat perceived climate change) and in response, the far-left allies with rioting "moderates" (probably mostly migrants) and the far-right (probably fewer rioters than the far-left IMHO) and now he's going to have to resign or something. This will surely be the largest red pill of his life.

For me at least, and I suspect many others, this confirms my suspicion that people who want things like cap-and-trade were misjudging the political viability of suppressing fuel use.
