>Well, maybe not me personally. But look at the recent violences in Chemnitz, Germany. The trigger is minor compared to stuff in the past.

What's at stake for participating is even more minor, so much more so that's there's no comparison....

Here's a (far from comprehensive) list of revolts in France, starting from the 13th century:

And even this is so lacking (it's not even 1/100 of the documented revolts) that it manages to miss the whole Paris Commune, a huge revolt that shook France and had tons of casualties...

The 1830 revolution is also missing, or the revolt against the 1851 coup... Yet minor incidents from last year protests are on the list.
