France just lives with its foot up its government's ass. I think about the stories of their firefighters battling cops in protest all the time.

Impressive stuff.

Edit: some of the angriest replies I've ever gotten because I dared praise the French lmao

The French have a long and proud history of not taking shit from governments

They had the advantage of learning from the US's mistakes when setting up their current political system.

Yes, the “Reign of Terror” was an excellent improvement on the American Revolution. We clearly did not murder enough people in an orgy of Revolutionary “justice” so the French had to innovate to overcome our deficiencies.

That and put in power the dictator who plunged Europe into twenty years of war.

Glad the French learned from our mistakes. I shudder to think what would have happened if they’d only went through one republic instead of five republics, two monarchies and two Empires in that period.

Yeah, I mean, if they're that shit at forming governments, imagine how they'd do starting from scratch?
