The USA had the largest series of sustained protests in human history in 2020. Several of the largest one-off protests in world history have been in the USA in the last two years. Americans protest plenty, and get quite rowdy sometimes, even though we have a much higher chance of being murdered by police than French people do.
The difference? The French media engages this stuff, the American media suppresses it.
I’ve seen grown adults in pickup trucks harassing and ridiculing high school kids who walked out to protest ICE. And not as some scandalous anomaly, everyone received it as roughly normal, and it wasn’t a one-off either.
It is hard to maintain a commitment to virtue and justice here. Of course it must be done, but the constant social pressure not to, even just directed at children - it’s wild. It’s a thick, suffocating blanket of ignorance and hate.
We in the U.S. have much to learn from the French, including their students.
Yet you don’t!

You can’t learn from anyone when you’re already the best at everything. At least that’s what the MAGA dipshits tell me.
