    Not to dismiss the general sentiment of the message, but do you think french people go across the country to protest? Do you think we don’t have rent or mortgages to pay? Do you think our police isn’t violent?

      I think French people have many more social safety nets to support them and that their police is not even remotely as violent as ours.

      As for going across the country, that is directly addressed, France is very small compared to the entirety of the US.

      I don’t actually really care about all the morons responding negatively to the copy/paste, I’m going to keep posting it. Europeans simply have it so much better than we do that they are completely unable to fathom that it’s so different in the US, which I would say is great, if so many of them weren’t such fucking cunts that believe themselves inherently superior by factor of country of birth that they feel the need to be so hateful online towards the people who are suffering from all of this, far, far worse than they are. They confidently demand violence and blood with zero comprehension of any nuance about the situation, understanding that not everyone fucking lives in or can get to Minneapolis on a days notice to kill ice agents or whatever.

        My point is that french people don’t travel to protests, they’re local events by and large. You don’t need to travel far away to participate. You don’t need to go to Minnesota to protest ICE killing people.

        I’ll skip the part where you’re acting like a xenophobic asshole, I choose to believe you are only upset about the situation, and simply wish you best of luck in your struggles.
