The French may not have the first democracy, may not have the best democracy, but they have had to fight harder than most for their democracy.
- paraphrasing from an audio tour by Rick Steves, I think.

I agreed with you until the last sentence.
I don’t see Americans unionising and making a noise about rising pension ages
Unionization is on the rise and they’ve been more active than at any point in my life. There have been several large strikes in the last couple years alone. What are you talking about?
Let’s be real here: the French have no chill when it comes to the pension, but its nice to see some change in the US.
I dont see Americans burning down Blackrock buildings.
They were marching and burning down police stations four years ago.
If its gonna be a dick measuring contest wake me when Americans pull politicians onto the street and behead them.
