    It’s probably because French citizens are smart enough to put their own well-being before their governing powers well-being.

    In what way do they do this?

        “Everything is so bad. Yet they set nothing on fire? How do they expect to fix?” —some twitter lady’s french husband, commenting on the state of American politics

          From this extremely boring Finnish perspective, you guys in America set things on fire all the time. If that happened here once, we’d give the event a name and would talk about it for decades.

            fair, but we only set things on fire if the local american football team wins. or loses. or ties. or the game is cancelled. or at parades.

            what’s wild is that we party like the french protest but we don’t really protest.
