      That’s a perfectly fair perspective, and one that I agree with. Unfortunately, they have all the guns.

          Just curious, are many French people super political/politically active? If yes, then why? Do you guys watch the news a lot, go to “town halls” (sorry, I’m American, idk how your gov works 😔), talk to friends/family about recent policies?

          I wish I could get some of my friends to give a shit about voting, and one of them who didn’t vote in 2024 has the audacity to say “man I wish I voted” a few months ago.

          I’m just curious about what is so socially different in France that gets y’all to rebel so easily. Is it the history? Education? I know no country is perfect, but I hear about France opposing their government often.

          (Side note: neat fact I learned from Literature class, the French gifted the Statue of Liberty to America to also ignote the spirit of revolution and democracy in France 🙂)

      All governments are criminal ALREADY and have been for ever. The question is how much criminal are they right now.
