1. It's incredible that right wingers often frame the French as weak.

If French workers are crossed, they start to burn shit in the streets.
We bend over and ask for "another please."

2. Yeah, well American labor laws are rooted in the 19th Century...nt

3. France has a different revolution history than the US

There was a guillotine at their revolution. The consequences of that fact still impact France to this day.

No one is advocating murder, however, let's face it, American billionaires have tamed the American public into submission. They have bought and paid for our politicians who say how high, when their billionaire overlords say jump. They get whatever they want. And too many Americans remain completely apathetic and don't ever bother to vote. They have been entertained into a coma.

Different cultures, different results.
