    it feels like the “promises” (read: lies) of neoliberalism have screwed over many first world nations.

    a lot of what you excellently described is going on in the United States as well, for the most part.

    many kudos to our French brothers and sisters and their massive protests. I’m not sure what needs to be done, but I hope that people around the world can take back what is rightfully theirs: equality, true freedom from oppressive, corrupt governments, and an honest living

      The whole time I read that, I just kept thinking “haha yeah imagine a country doing all that…”

      The French do seem to take protesting to the extreme, but then again, it got them the benefits they currently enjoy.
