Meanwhile Americans are just fine with a pedophile rapist spending their taxes on god knows what as he removes their rights.
I don't know that most Americans are fine with it but are kept in near dire and paralyzing financial positions. More have some of the most violent, militarized cops on the planet that will kill your dog then you for threatening the system.
Oh boy. Here come the angry Americans.
'Akshully we voted and wrote some letters so we tried. You know how hard it is to actually do something? Its, like, really hard. I havent been personally shot yet so its really not that bad anyway.'
Yawn…. Not angry kiddo. Just providing contrast to how France is doing it right in comparison.. I wouldn’t expect you to understand. So… move along. The comment wasn’t meant for your consumption.
Go be angry somewhere else.
Doesn't he agree with you?
Yes. I have no idea what theyre talking about.
Im agreeing with you you donkey. Can you not read?
Read the first line and predicted the rest, my bad. Apologies.
France is denser and makes it easier to organize. America is frickin massive
It also helps that you can go protest for a few days and not get fired.
Ah so locally we see the same, like in the massive, dense cities?
Thread about France...drags the US into it. 👍
Yawn….
All protests involving Parisians happen at Place de la Bastille. It's a large open space and traffic circle holding all kinds of public events.
It certainly is a traffic circle. I can't imagine what must have been going through those people's heads when they decided to just make a giant open loop that people can enter with no clear plan to exit. It's like a highway with no lanes with houses built directly on it.
The area was cleared from the Bastille fortress-prison decades before cars appeared. It became a huge intersection for very slow pedestrian and horse traffic, surrounded by downtown style businesses.
Ok so they can make like 2 lanes for cars. Not 10.
I love riots. Riots are good for Society. They remind the High Command Shitheads who's really the BOSS.
Riots? It could always get a LOT worse than mere riots.
I almost lost count whenever france decide enough is enough, bringing their ol reliable to detach someone body part, figure it doesn't work in long term huh.
Either I don't understand what you're trying to say, or you don't understand how politics and organising works.
I'm not trying to explain about how politic works, i just make another form of word and sentence about straw that broke camel backs using topic of this thread as inspiration.
OK, you're barely making sense, sorry.
well, last time the "commune" didn't go so well for the people in 1871
Coo coo, so iust like the retirement shit a few years ago, it wont make a difference?
We DONT have Enough MONEY for Teachers! We spent ALL that Money on SHOOTING CHILDREN IN THE FACE instead!
-LITERALLY The French Government!
Yep. I like how the general consensus in society is "don't beat your children, that'll teach them wrongly". Meanwhile the government out and about beating up all the children, who just ask for a better future 👍. That'll teach them the right lessons, I guess.
Paris has been redesigned in the XIXth century to contain revolts: the wide avenues are hard to block with barricades , and in straight line, so it's always visible from the main police barracks that are located on the big squares at each end. Also, since 1930, almost all strikes have to use the same route between 3 places: Republique, Bastille and Nation.
So basically, we've been storming the Bastille weekly for 2 centuries.

Bastille Day 2: Electric Boogaloo
Let them vape cake
But MAGA keeps telling me France has burned entirely to the ground because of Muslims! They wouldn't be saying that just to promote Islamophobia and racism, would they? /s
The US should take notes. No one is as efficient at protesting as France.
