Macron is not socialist at all, he's center-right. France is not socialist since 10 years.
Understandable mistake from somebody who voted for a far-right condamned senile pedophile who enrich himself as much as it makes the country he "manages" look like a pathetic joke. We didn't pledge allegiance to Russia, nor started a war almost instantly lost with Iran.
They can't understand basic politics or they would have vote differently and won't make comments that dumb.

Maybe if Americans protested more they'd have a decent healthcare system, paid leave, paid maternity, more affordable tertiary education, less police violence...

To be fair police violence is a huge problem especially during the protests recently - under Macron police have been suppressing more and more violently. In France protesting is protected as a right (though there are of course specific criteria to be met for a protest to be a legal one), but in recent years police (under government orders) have been suppressing legal protected protests in progressively more violent ways. Even not being part of the protest doesn't protect you; the police will go after anyone remotely in the area, especially if you're not white. There have also been quite a few videos of plain clothed police being caught slipping into the protest and starting attacks on people, businesses or even other police in the hopes of others following them, so that the riot police have justification to go all out.
This current round of protests we've seen beatings, people being maimed (eyes, teeth or hands/fingers ripped off), police drowning children to "teach them a lesson" (not to the point of death, just holding them underwater), and so much more. It's important to remember that right now a LOT of the protesters are high schoolers protesting the state of schools (horrendous but I wont go into detail) - so these are mostly children that are being beaten and maimed by police.

Making $100k puts you in the 1% of earners in France. Thats like 1 in 5 Americans making that. Its either a good place if you just want to do you job, dont really need much, and want a simple life. It’s a bad place if you want to excel and shoot for the moon.

u/WohooBiSnake 7h ago
Technically true for the numbers, however when you factor in the cost of life (say, how much Americans spend on health insurances, how much they spend on gas, etc…) you have a very different picture.
Looking at the quality of life, France seems to range around the same level as the US depending on the index used, sometimes a little bit above, sometimes a little bit better.
Meaning with a lesser salary, you can still buy yourself just as good as a life.And of course you do not have to worry about affording your treatments or getting shot at school :)

If they riöt like that, they are French. It's something that the French have become known for. 1789, 1830, 1832, 1848, 1848, 1848, 1849, 1869, 1871, 1880, 1891, 1893, 1907, 1919, 1926, 1934, 1936, 1947, 1958, 1961, 1968, 1979, 1984, 1991, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2023, 2024, 2026.
And there are probably gaps of unrecorded rebellions in the 19th to early 20th century. Point is, French people riot all the time. Vive cette révolution!

Please tell me you're joking. Pleeeeeease tell me you're not that close-minded.
Please at least confirm if you're not French.
You know what the current riots are for ?
Aside from the destruction that unfortunately happens when there's a movement like that, it's freaking high-schoolers (at first, they've been joined by others) manifesting. They're not doing it for the fucking fun of it. They're telling everybody willing to listen that not only their learning conditions are physically awful, like derelict buildings, as well as lacking teachers. Oh and on top of that? They're told to get a higher education, but there's no job even when they're qualified.
Putain sans déconner, j'en peux plus des gens qui pensent savoir et qui racontent de la merde.

I’ve been working in and out of France and Europe for the last 20 years. I do a lot of business there and man France has gone to complete shit. My industry has been hit really hard in France. I have dozens and dozens of stories of my fellow jewelers being robbed, kidnapped, assaulted, scammed and all sorts of terrible things by migrants. Almost all of them either African or Arab criminals.
Last year , I was in Paris with a client of mine and my clients hotel suite was violently robbed at gunpoint by Africans. They came in tied him up. Stole all his jewelry and pistol whipped him. They even stole his clothes and underwear and colognes. Police was called and they did nothing. Hotel did nothing. Literally no one cared.
When we went to go switch hotels, staff was literally carefree and a few of them were even seeing laughing and mocking the situation. France sucks. I don’t know if it’s socialism or not but the migrant situation is out of hand.

Anecdotes are not sources or evidence. Anyone can tell a story, but it doesn't mean shit until they can substantiate it. Otherwise we're lowering our standard of proof to merely hearsay, which opens a whole different can of worms.

u/KonungariketSuomi 7h ago edited 7h ago
An anecdote without evidence to substantiate it is just hearsay, sorry. Let's break that down for you.
I could make up a story about how any random minority individual assaulted me. That doesn't make it true unless I can provide evidence of the assault.
If he grabbed my shirt, his DNA would be on the shirt. If he beat me up, I'd have physical wounds. Stole my wallet? I guarantee there'll be a few fraudulent purchases or a loan taken out in my name.
There's a million and one ways to provide evidence for something as serious and violent as an armed robbery. The police would not just "do nothing" unless the report itself is fraudulent beyond a reasonable doubt—that is an outright lie, sorry.
Word of mouth and nothing more is not one of them. I'm sorry your racist self can't comprehend that.

“Clipping” images then gasslighting their social followers. It’s about faking ‘influence’ and allow the bots to push a story line they know isn’t real. These students, in college, were protesting in the EU against the future they feel won’t be there for them as they attend school or training. They are asking for change in the system, another thing because I see a lot of comments about this. Protests in Europe are NOT like protests in USA (Specifically).
Also, they are taking to the streets because of the extremely high prices on food and gas.

Countries with "socialism" rank higher than America on every single metric including happiness for decades and conservatives stay quiet. They see one fear mongering piece of news on fox about something bad happening in one country they wouldn't be able to point at on a map and they go "see I told you socialism was bad!"
Edit: I would like the people who vote me down to leave a comment explaining why since what I said was factually correct and America is like ranked 23rd on the happiness index while the "socialist" countries are all at the top. Don't get me started on the ranking of education levels etc.

Half of them sound like Americans; yeah sure of course, Africans with guns pistolwhipping people in their hotel room - pretty sure that'd be on news outlets, instead of hotel workers just laughing at them. People aren't desensitised to gun violence here like Americans are.
