No, Napoleon was a tyran and retcon a lot of liberty ; slavery, antisemitic laws, for example. The only legacy of Napoleon that matter is his own propaganda that still exist in France. I would bet that you've followed a French education

I agree, but not for the general strike part. Their is no general strike for decades. Their is inter professional day of strike called by central union, but this is nothing close to general strike. Central Unions design this day to "not disrupt too much the economy".
This is an issue directly link with professional unionist and centralism of those unions. Uncentralized unions with nobody paid denounce those strategy, as well as the vast majority of people imply in struggle (even people unionize in central union).
I know orthodox marxist like centralized organization, but (for unions at least) it leads to non-revolutionary position (or liberal, if you'd rather). However, those organization are the last mass organization of our class, nobody could deny it.
Ear piercing was a sign of wealth in ancient rome. Having access to hygien to prevent infection was a social distinction
It's not taught to kids in school. It's taught from pair to pair during each struggle
A harmful ideology is not the same, and nothing close of what we are talking about.
Everyone have stupid believes, but not everyone is mocked. You cannot expect others to change their mind if you do not try yourself to consider what need is fulfill by this believe. As pointed in another comment, astrology is a way to make emotional connection with others. But one may have other reason we could not discover if we do no take their need and point of view seriously.
This is a critical approach, and how we made science. Disdain produce ignorance and social domination.

No, their is a very active diaspora. They are making event every month in front of place of power to make them heard. However, a move to help kurdish people is consider as a threat by the Turkish State
They are just doing their job. I mean, sinking, mutilating and traumatizing kids and workers
If it's so obvious, your licking what they others date have licked previously ? No kink shaming, I'm just curious
In fact, it's hard to know if their is a common revendication. This is a Gilet Jaune situation : no organisation and root based movement. As pointed, austerity made the education even more unequal and the new process for superior education rise a lot of anxiety. However, the strike and mobilisation of trade union of the public sector on Tuesday was a record, and students was already their to support. Some of them has been arrested during this declared demonstration
Some people expect a Gilet Jaune Reborn on October 17th, and it may have helped students to mobilize. October 17th is a commemoration day of racist slaughter made by the police too, and another mobilization against cop violence is taking place in France.
The only clear message that we heard of students was "Siamo Tutti Antifascisti" and "ACAB". I'm convinced
people tend dislike authoritarianism, but tend to be afraid of society changement. Everybody got contradiction
Without violence, law do not exist. When you study laws, the first thing you learn is that without penalty, a law is virtual and will never be applied
