    Ask French how to act in this situation. They have experience. Here in Ukraine we butt-kicked our president so hard that it landed somewhere in Rostov, Russia.

    All is doable.

      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 🙂)
