France is trying this. It's not going well.

  Ehh, the French will find any reason to have a riot. The Japanese will not riot for any reason, ever.

    Ummmm, Japanese people have rioted before. While riots have been very rare in recent decades, the decades after WWII had riots, including the rather legendary riots over the construction of Narita Airport (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanrizuka_Struggle https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanrizuka_Struggle). There was even a riot in 1973 that broke out by train commuters who were enraged that they couldn’t get to work due to striking train workers back when the JR system was nationalized: https://youtu.be/7QUfszx22w4 https://youtu.be/7QUfszx22w4

      Ironic that the 1973 riot was against striking workers. I think that's the exception that proves the rule!

    I checked. They will, for some reasons, sometimes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Riots_and_civil_disorder_in_Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Riots_and_civil_disor...

      Ok, perhaps very occasionally. That list has nothing from the last 50 years and includes spontaneous folk music concerts, though. I'm sure France has had more civil unrest in the last 5 years, than Japan has had in the last 50.
