    As a German, I often find the French protests inspiring. They seem enthusiastic and convinced that they can make a difference, whereas in Germany many people use their perceived insignificance as an excuse for why it’s pointless to even try.

      Can confirm. Germans are the most pathetic, docile people. Love nothing more than moaning and complaining about everything, but don’t you dare break any rules or norms to do something about it!

      The American farmers seem to grumble for a handout and if it doesn’t come shrug and go bust. The french farmers on the other hand, engage honey badger mode!
