    The French public would have a called a general strike at minimum while the AmeriKans take it in the ass.

      did you know that protesting is not legal in many places in the US and also the police like to just murder people randomly

        Then, they should have protested when protesting was made illegal. Now, they’re paying the price for that mistake, unfortunately.

      Because these two countries are otherwise identical in every way. Good thing you have an easy solution that still works in spite of the existence of assault rifles and wire taps

        Not exactly.

        The American political system turned into a gaggle of Mafias some time ago, France isn’t quite there yet.

          I mean it’s pretty much been that the whole time… Idk I guess I’m just tired of people saying basically “Well here’s an obvious solution that you clearly missed because you’re automatically lazy and/or stupid if you’re from the US, and especially if you don’t have the financial solubility or high-demand skills to easily expatriate or you’re disabled, just get up off your lazy corn-fattened ass and go yell at the people who give the US military their orders. Oh, you say you tried and nothing happened? You must have been an utter and complete failure. You deserve this then.”

          Not that that’s what is being said precisely, but it hits the same notes. And DicJacobus, this isn’t aimed at you, but at the original comment in this thread. Unless you agreed with them and I misread your tone
