    french politics

    have you seen french politics? like actually?

    i know that when compared to the US it may as well be a socialist utopia but french politics are awful. france is one of the countries most responsible for imperialism and colonialism. france is one of the most systematically racist countries in europe, and that’s saying something!

      Really it’s more that French politicians are properly accountable to the people, who will protest and strike frequently. That’s what makes French politics great, not the leaders but the citizens.

        I don’t know how much you know about France, and french politics specifically, but as a person born in France I want to tell you that you might have been mislead… From my point of view and with my knowledge, politics here is a shit show, basically the elite mock everyone, France is run by billionaires, happily oppressing the poor.

          Ain’t we all? But honestly I get so frustrated with seeing what they debate over and how everything is just done for profit and from what the politians can hoard most money from. I know it’s joked about a lot but it just seems insane that Babiš can just use all these things for his own companies and profit. I rather not watch politics at all just from memes and what I hear from others so I might not know everything but still just seems insane they can do these things.

        No, politicians don’t give a shit about people striking. And the biggest haters of strikes are the citizens who don’t like their life and privileges to be disturbed by people striking for their rights.
