    Wish the rest of the world was more like the French. We’d be able to achieve so much change.

      It is definitely a sign that humanity likes to kick itself in the nuts when even a country known for protesting still has a government that keeps doing shit that leads to protest and police still harm protestors.

      We keep putting shitty people in power and then getting upset when they do shitty stuff.

        It’s almost as if there is something else at play, someone else to blame, than “the people” who just everywhere all the time seem to “accidentally platform” leaders who don’t have their best interests at heart.

        Their political activity is remarkable. It is the kind of activity every country needs. Only problem i see is that french activists put the most effort into protests instead of more effective ways of spreading their ideas.

          So you think the system works great, it’s just that the French waste all their energy protesting instead of more constructively, like in the electoral system?
