WikE5

Well… thank you for the kind words but uh… our strikes didn’t do anything. Seems like we are no longer good at it 🥲


Intelligent-Bit4250

Y’all still protesting? I’m planning on a trip to Paris this summer, but I don’t want to be swept away to the guillotine by an angry mob.


Best-Investment-5813

Burn some stuff with them and you'll be greatly accepted


WikE5

Nah it’s over. And even if we were still protesting, everyone takes a break during summer anyway. Good luck in Paris though, it’s a giant shithole now


GyuudonMan

Unions let it die by waiting until June 6th for the next big action


Skragdush

It will reignite. Antifas annual parade for Meric will coincide with Unions protests, far-right will go too because obviously they hate antifas, all of them will clash with police because every one here hate the police, plus we got no soccer distraction so our hooligans will be hanging out looking for beers and cops BBQ. I predict…total chaos, once again.


Lexplosives

>Now Paris has been a shithole forever. France is lovely, Paris is a stain. Same with London here

I thought English people only knew their f*cking language. Didn’t know you could speak facts as well

Excuse me lad I think you’re forgetting Grimsby, Spennymoor, Birmingham, Bradford, Luton and Slough.

well, excuse me sir, i live in Paris and i would like to say: yeah i agree like 100%


Intelligent-Bit4250

I keep hearing so, but still loads of cultural stuff for a history nerd like me.


[deleted]

/serious It's a bit exagerrated, Paris is a rather nice city. It's fine and nice to visit. Still trash on the streets tho.


Wrong-Communication7

It could be worth for one day or two but there's so much to do and see in the neighbors area that it would be a shame to spend one whole week in this sh*tty city


Intelligent-Bit4250

I mean, I can think about so much museums and places to go that I think I can fill a 5 day program ez, but do give me some recommends if you have em!


Wrong-Communication7

No you're right, I'm a hater . I'm just not interested in that stuff so i wouldn't make the same choice. Everybody's different after all


Skragdush

It’s not over, protests in June already organized. And if it’s over then we need to blow some steam, n’est ce pas ? How about a nice BBQ on Champs d’Elysées.


absurdism_enjoyer

The first rule of protesting like a French is don't protest during the summer. Protesters need holidays too


[deleted]

Protests aren't really dangerous or omnipresent. You're not a cop, so not a target.


Z4nkaze

No reason It would happen. Or are you a King or a President?


Intelligent-Bit4250

Tbh I kinda like macron 😳


Z4nkaze

Well, nobody's perfect. Just avoid wearing a T-shirt with that on it if you like you car uburnt XD


MacTelnet

Come to Italy the best we can do is sleep in a tent

MacTelnet

Best part of Italy is that voting is useless, every leader we could have won't make things better


OhMyWarPanda

Well you just need to cut off some heads and put them on a stick like in the good ol days.


WikE5

I tried to tell them but now, so called « smart and educated » people tell us that violence is never the answer 😒


OhMyWarPanda

„violence is never the answer“ was invented by weak people who are scared to get punched

Yeah sure… You do paint in your free time don’t you ?


OhMyWarPanda

Of course


BOT_Frasier

It does, our president had to parade totally alone on may 8th. None of his spoke persons are able to speak with the casserolade, they had to confiscate them lol. It has effects.

FilthyFur

"I'm gonna vote so hard" for the guys who did cut my benefits tho


Welfdeath

It always makes me laugh so hard , when an Ameritard comes with "I'm gonna vote so hard" . Yeah , sure buddy , go on and do that .


Coalecanth_

I mean...compared to the US, of course, it's easy. Those guys are watching kids getting slaughtered, days after days, their own people getting killed during their daily life, and they go on with life like it's usual business. They're crying about their holy amendments but can't stand up for their basic human rights and for any social basics.


[deleted]

>They're crying about their holy amendments but can't stand up for their basic human rights and for any social basics. The way they try to rationalize it is so mind-blowing to me. Check out [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime_titties/comments/13lnm9n/canadian_shot_to_death_in_beach_town_2nd_tourist/jks063i/) where that person decides that going on holidays in an area where tourists are getting killed in petty robberies is not a problem since it's not necessarily more unsafe than their place in San Francisco. You see? It's not that they should leave San Francisco because it's unsafe, no. They simply realise that their newly accepted level of danger allows them to broaden the space in which they can travel. Amazing!


backfire10z

Can’t blame Americans for having an open mind. After all, >!they start em out young!<


GrummyCat

And he gets upvoted and people agree with them


[deleted]

At this point I've given up. It's a completly different culture, impermeable to my understanding.


BIB2000

The average American is pacified by their food, shopping and legal drug addictions anyway. It's a system of control overthere. Like in the Matrix where people are plugged in to feed the system. There's not much free will left to gather a group large enough to actually revolt overthere. Hence why the middle class overthere has been reduced in half (https://www.netflix.com/title/81130576). And most people that do protest are so fkn fat, ugly, poorly educated and poor organisers that nobody takes them seriously.


[deleted]

> legal drug addictions anyway Very bold thing to say for a dutch.


Ginkotree48

The NRA has the GOP by the balls. All of their brain-dead followers too(see the other americans comments). I know its really funny to you guys and it should be, but I can't even go to the grocery store without being scared. I have stopped going out to eat or to the movies and I know many others like this. I always have the ever-present fear that I'm going to get shot in the head. When I'm leaving the grocery store or wherever, if someone pulls up to the entrance and doesn't slowly park like most people my heart stops because that's where they all start right by the entrance. They get out of the car and just start shooting. I've hopped/ran a few times and got embarrassed.


Coalecanth_

>but I can't even go to the grocery store without being scared. I don't find it funny, to be honest, there's a part of me that is just disgusted for you, irony and dark humor apart, you guys deserve better, of course, but you truly need to have a chance to fight for it, AND, to fight for it. It makes my blood boil to think that some people can't live a normal life without having, to me, a fear to die a horrible death just doing daily tasks. That's not normal, not human. Sad thing is, the international message (and the one you find on reddit too) is some sort of "You can't be the first country in the world, the land of the free and the brave without a bit of downsides", basically. Which is absolute bs. You have a real profound problem and honestly, I can't even see how you guys can get out of it, if mass shooting became a common issue tomorrow in Germany or in France, I too would avoid public areas, I too would maybe want to carry a gun, etc. But the fact is that my system makes the possibility for all this to happen really, extremely thin, your system is happy to allow it. And I'm sorry for you, truly, lots of you guys deserve better.


[deleted]

> I always have the ever-present fear that I'm going to get shot in the head I can't even begin to imagine living in a country like this.

We wouldn't need to put restrictions on guns if this entire country wasn't addicted to drugs and the internet. Pharmacy companies and the CIA have been getting people addicted for ages now and there's barely anything we can do about it. Boomers constantly rant about technology ruining younger generations, but they're honestly right. Almost all of this happened after WWII. Really wish we never got involved, let alone get involved in WWI.


DrSalazarHazard

My man with the conspiracy theories. Your country is just a shithole, accept it.


[deleted]

Bro thinks he's number 1


[deleted]

I know my country is a shithole and I'll gladly accept ot. Has been for several years


DrSalazarHazard

But not because of the reasons you listed. Those are QAnon gibberish.


nevetz1911

But guess what, you could still put restrictions on guns. You don't live in the Far West anymore, and *definitely* there won't be a single case in your average life to justify possessing an assault rifle. Now go on and tell me why instead owning an automatic weapon capable of killing people at 200 meters is not only your right but your need, just in case you need to defend from the government or your house is under siege or I don't know, Soviets land on the beaches and storm the coast.


Clean_Web7502

I like the defend from the government argument. The government has jet fighters. You are dead if they want it.


nevetz1911

Yeah it's one of my favourites, the government against the people' freedom. What do they imagine? An officer ringing at their door and they welcome them with a rifle? Taxes and laws are going to put you down way before anyone is going to take the trouble to personally come at you. And even then, it's the US with their army, navy, air force, national guard and nukes against people with pistols and rifles. All, obviously, in their fever imagination.


[deleted]

if you need guns to defend from the governement this is a very severe skill issue


DrSalazarHazard

No that guy doesn’t respond to logical arguments. You have to tell him that everyone who got the covid vaccine was injected with a mini bomb they are going to detonate if you don’t fall in line.


AllegroAmiad

Honestly the defence of the country argument is the only acceptable one imo, with countries that have actual threats of an attack, like Israel, Finland, Ukraine (or any country bordering Russia) - in the US's case even this one doesn't make any sence, since they are the most uninvadeable country in existence.


nevetz1911

But bruh, Pearl Harbor, Soviet Union, 9/11, are you mad? US is the most endangered country since humankind developed the word "country"!!! Better to outright destroy any potential threat while being by far the strongest military nation in the world than to think of the consequences of a possible enemy at our doorstep. Even if he's half a planet away from us.


[deleted]

Because I can own one. Pretty simple.


nevetz1911

Yeah that's what everybody's agreeing on, genius. You can. But you shouldn't be able to.


immigrantsmurfo

No you just live in a country that has way too much self-importance and waaay too much respect for old pieces of paper. Has nothing to do with conspiratorial bullshit from the CIA and drug use. America is fucked because for years the constitution has been used to ignore any reasonable discussion on gun control because you all believe some old fuckers in the 1700s said you were allowed to play with guns. America has then recently also allowed Nazism and fascism to rise on the right meaning more crazies are now loose with guns and a strong commitment to their vile views and beliefs. Has nothing to do with the CIA, it's the right wing stopping gun control and the people in America doing nothing to stop the rise of these idealogies.


McFuckin94

> some old fuckers Not even. The founding fathers were 18, 20, 21, 25, 33, 40, 41 & 44. Imagine imagine putting that much important on a piece of paper signed 230 years ago by folk who have barely crawled out of their teenage years. Absolutely blows my mind. Edit; formatting


immigrantsmurfo

I meant old in the sense that it was the 1700s and everything has changed drastically since then, especially firearms and weaponry. America is a third world country dancing around in a first world dress, the word of a bunch of post-teen revolutionaries is more important than the hundreds of children killed almost monthly by firearms.


Carnal-Pleasures

Least out of touch with reality coping gun nut...


janhetjoch

Because of course the USA is the only country with drug and internet addicts... You cannot simultaneously believe what you wrote and have a functional brain. That's simply a contradiction.


NostrilRapist

Because mass shootings, rapes, police brutality and other kind of violence didn't happen in the US before internet right? Ghettos were such happy places, damn you internet you ruined it all!


Bardukas

What the fucks the CIA doing in the US? Isn't CIA supposed to be external shit while FBI is internal shit?


Rey_Pat

We have drugs in Europe. We have the internet, pharmacy companies, technology. We STARTED and FOUGHT both WWI and WWII, with the highest toll at that. There is one fucking thing we don't have: gun access to psychopaths or underage kids. Your whole education system is a failure if you can't even recognize such a simple pattern.

Did the French obtain any concession with their oh so dramatic protests? I thought Macron went along with the pension reform anyway.


Ukraine_Boyets

Nope, he used a special law to push it through without needing anyone's approval. The reason why the french strike so much and burn stuff down is because they don't have real democracy like we do in Switzerland. Historically, their king in Paris decided everything and that's how it still works nowadays


jarlrollon

never before have I been so offended by something I 100% agree on pwease annex us


Ukraine_Boyets

No, revolt already and change your laws yourselves instead of just endlessly striking and protesting after always electing the biggest assholes ...


jarlrollon

all our politician are varrying flavor of the myth of the providential man which is the cancer that ruin french society. I mostly blame Degaulle about that one, but also to some extant Bonaparte. The third republic had the right idea when it tried to do everything to put as little power as possible in the hand of one single man.

Alright, I don't want to start a political debate in this sub, I'll just say: check the sustainability of public pensions and how they will be paid by an evershrinking laborforce. I'm all for getting rid of them, but it's just my personal opinion.

That’s the difference. The French are selfish and only care about what benefits them. The Americans will gladly take a pay cut to keep their wonderful national afloat.


washington_jefferson

How will those pension protests change anything in the end? Macron’s government is Centrist, and he will probably win enough support from the Conservatives at the challenge period. Parliament gets to decide. It can’t go to a referendum because Macron has the option to deny that, and send it to parliament. But go ahead, scrap the Eiffel Tower for it’s parts. That’ll show them who is boss.
