When I think about the current situation, the political landscape of my country, France, I do not see any equivalent to these extraordinary people, to these heroes. These women, these men, of all races and all religions have marked History by their pacifist fight.

They did it because the time had come. It was time to shake the unjust status quo. This fight was dangerous, deadly, insurmountable, but they did it. These "ordinary" people have outdone themselves for the common good, the good of their people and their nation.

So I have a question, where are these extraordinary "ordinary" people? Is there less of an unjust status quo today? Surely not. Was it more "simple" to mobilize people in the past? Surely not.

Many of you will say that they do not have the time. Transform this "I do not have time" into "I did not take the time". Our time is a personal counter that we decided to spend where we want.

I think we have a problem about pacifism in France. Since school our history is only marked by war and revolution. Those events are usually violent and as we're told about it in a positive way it don't let space for pacifism. it "has" to be violent to be "french" protest.
