    Feel exactly the same as an american. No one here wanted to get involved. It defies party lines, literally no one wants it. We had the largest protest in our country’s history on Saturday and they will do nothing. It wastes billions of our tax dollars while our people can’t afford food. Its a couple of dozen people at the absolute top who are pulling the levers here, while ignoring what the people want.

        Yeah, all these Americans were just minding their own business, basing their whole economy on pillaging oil from any part of the world they can, doing nothing wrong of course though.

        So innocent, just driving around in their pickup trucks blasting propaganda from their radios, then rushing home to watch more on their television.

        Can’t we just leave the Americans alone so they can pretend they aren’t the shittiest group of people on earth?

        Exactly the problem unfortunately. It’s extremely demoralizing. I’m still proud, like I said the largest protest in our history, I’ve never seen more Americans this motivated before, but I hope the organizers plan to do something. They don’t care about protests. They just let them go knowing everyone will go back to work the next morning. However, if they go too far the propaganda machine will simply pick up and say whatever it needs to and people eat it up happily. My uncle steadfastly believes that the majority of protesters are in fact “paid actors”. Millions of paid actors. Billions of dollars spent on it obviously.

      So if you don’t want it, why aren’t you stopping it or trying to overthrow the government? Your biggest protest was 2% or so of the population.

      ~98% don’t give a shit, they might care about their petrol prices but that’s it. Dead Iranian children and US foreign policy isn’t a deal breaker for them.

            france is a fraction of the size and population of america. if we were that small and homogeneous, we would probably be able to be more effective too. the best equivalent would be expecting the entire EU to organize and protest as one large country.
