France is late stage empire. So is the UK. The purpose of empire is to maintain privilege for oligarchs. When it becomes cost prohibitive to take from outside the borders of the country, then they take from inside, which means impoverishing the populace and state infringement of their rights. The true purpose of democracy is to create a narrative that disarms the people, allowing the empire to grow tall if wide isn't an option.

Aristotle said that democracy is Rule by the Poor, since the poor are always larger in number than the rich, and the short-sighted, economic nonsense that the poor vote for leads to an increase in the number of the poor, who vote for the same nonsense...
Aristotle was a genius. Wasn't that Socrates, though? Idk, its crazy heavy reading
The US equivalent are ex-Californians that moved to your state to get away from the crap in California, taking over your local government, then bringing in the same policies that made California shitty enough to move away from.
