Everyone always jokes about the French protesting everything … yet they’re the ones with better worker rights, better social benefits, better public health, better wages … meanwhile, the US never has mass protests and they have the worst worker rights, low wages, low taxes for the rich, high taxes for the poor, no public health care and few supports for the poor yet the country has the wealthiest people in the world.
There seems to be a pattern and the French figured it out a couple hundred years ago but the Americans haven’t.
I don’t know much about French history, but I’ve always wondered why oppressors would choose to oppress in a country known for actively overthrowing oppressors.

When France had issues similar to the USA, people in charge completely lost their heads… Literally
Oh yeah, the best device to cure headaches.
