the last time the French turned against their state, it was the 30s

Nadine,
The French turn against their state regularly and often by failing to defend it.

A coupla examples since the 30s:
German invasion of WWII. France surrendered with a whimper, then hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) collaborated.

The recent fiery Muslim demonstrations...followed by a list of 600 locales that will no longer be policed.

A likely tipping point for European countries is widely regarded to be 10% or more Muslim. According to a US State Dept report, France attained that earlier this year.
I participate in the joking, but we should not take France lightly. France has an estimated 450-500 nukes and delivery means.
