      They’re both kinda wrong. There are plenty of protests in the US, just not reported as much because the media works with the administration.

      Their response suggests that they think the French have never sacrificed their lives for anything, which is absolutely stupid.

        it was a tongue in cheek reference to how the French initially refused to get involved in the American revolutionary war until they directly benefited from it.

        and how they would allow their own people to starve while the aristocracy overindulged.

        I also thought it was particularly indignant for someone in another country to tell me, an American, what I should sacrifice and how I should rebel when they don’t know the first thing about what my country is going through. they don’t live here, they don’t know what every day is like. they don’t understand the risks.

        I think it’s a pretty funny that Europeans praise unity and solidarity and then attack Americans just because they’re Americans. I used to think that Europe was light years ahead of us, but now I’m thinking you’re just as fractured and broken as us.

        I wonder who will come to your aid when Russia starts expanding? surely they won’t expect the fascist loving all knowing piece of shit Americans to help.

          We (as in the rest of the world) definitely do have a better understanding of you than you do of us. That’s what happens when a country that thinks it’s always right meddles with everyone else’s business.
