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.
So what I'm hearing is that people know how to protest over there because yall have a lot to protest against
Yeah, that's closer to the truth. Also, state education makes sure that we are at least aware of a certain few parts of our history, from executing our King and subsequently fighting off most of Europe to preserve the republic, to armed resistance when the Nazis occupied and the state capitulated, and finally De Gaul's staunch non-alignment (as far as Western former empires go). Not to mention that the biggest improvement in the collective safety net for our society was obtained thanks to an ostensibly leftist coalition in the 1930s.
So it's very much in our collective consciousness that we can protest, and that it's a pretty normal thing to do, all things considered.
More to your point, I don't know how many people here in France still expect protests to meaningfully obtain anything nowadays.

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.
Pssshh whatever, can't be mad at a language that contains pamplemousse

Nope, pretty sure French politics should get a crying face (saying this as a French citizen)

As a Spanish speaker, I find it so ironic to see this meme in English...
English might be a bit- creative with the spellings of words but at least they pronounce most of the letters, not just half of them
But the pronunciations are different word by word. French letter combos make the same sound even if they are not each pronounced the American away, which is nice as a French novice.
French does pronounce most of the letters, they just tend to drop the last one. Then there’s our “though” which is often shortened to “tho” with no consequence. English is not creative, either, most of the time the words were actually pronounced in a way that matches and time changed how we spoke them. That and we just kinda lifted the spelling of loan words but said them differently because whichever of our many accents at the time made it otherwise uncomfortable to say.

Wait until you hear the bastard child of French, germanic and a bunch of other languages. You can have a word like "lead" and you don't even know how to pronounce it!
"I love to read, I read an interesting book yesterday"
Seriously, who came up with this shit 😭

At least the Belgian and Swiss Frenches have slightly less weird numbering. Though in France, you get to say "80." "Leul, blaze it"
