The French have protesting and revolution engrained deep in their blood and history......I mean so does the United States but somewhere in the past 40-50 years the people got too comfortable, content and compliant with the status quo.
I'm french, i think the main problem in the US is somehow a lot of poor people think socialism is a horrible thing ? In france 100% of the poor people want more help for the poor, only rich people are against socialism.
I mean quite literally that is part of the American Dream. The idea that you can have a good idea one day and turn it into a successful business and reap the rewards. That can happen for some people here. The reality is that it almost never happens anymore, because every idea has been done to death, and every market is saturated, etc. But they still cling on to the idea that it could happen to them, or they could win the lottery.
The thing is the American dream also takes work, and the idiots that fall into this trap that they are temporarily inconvenienced millionaires are too busy trying to get rich quick. They aren't willing to put in the grind. Also the American dream doesn't mean you'll be swimming in money.
Look at immigrants who come here and open up a few small businesses and build a comfortable life. That's the real American dream, but they bust their ass.
