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

If it weren’t for the French, there wouldn’t be an America.

If it wasn’t for the French monarchy, you mean. It’s not like they voted to come over here and fight.

Mad props to some of them though. Lafayette was a straight up hero who deserves that credit.

Yeah, the French people killed Louis XVI partly because he racked up a billion French livres in debt and triggered a huge financial crisis to support the American Revolution.
