Right, welcome to nearly every persons mind that has an elected government running their country.

If you don’t have a focus on the bs you’re sick of, the next SOB that comes in is going to pick up where they left off. A flashlight is just going to illuminate the person everyone already knows you’re angry with, but a powerful laser will burn the warts away.

Man I wonder if there is any historical precedent or major wars that would make French people particularly receptive to communist ideas. It would be a real shame if that was directly tied to a revolutionary tradition that actually begins in France. It would be even worse if those communists were associated with the objectively progressive act of pulling the rug out from French colonial projects

you can count on macron to ruin that too

You know it's bad when the French start waving flags that aren't white

We all agree that we are tired of his bullshit and that either he starts listening to us or he quits, and even if we are not focused on the same thing, being a big noisy crowd is still useful because he has to understand that we are not going to let him do what he wants without protest

Communism

A historic picture right there! Well done. You captured history!

Sometimes forgotten potatoes too .

Now just plant them you will have nice fresh onions in no time

Yeah, those people don't know shit about the regime that flag represents. I hate it when westerners romantisize communism.

Are there alternatives to having a popular uprising that burns the current government to the ground?

Tax the rich, maybe? Just a thought...

Is there no focus? Hear me out, I’m not bashing you, but what is the point of protesting if the person next to you doesn’t even know you’re not even focused on the same thing? At that point you just become a big crowd making noise.

No my dude, communism is not the answer

(I know next to nothing about this story, just commenting on the pic.)

Work till your 67? That's what I'm doing over here in America.

A cool dark place is like the ideal setting for them to grow. Plant em!!!

Read up on the subject if you really want to know, I see that you already have preconceived ideas. Raise top marginal taxe rate is one option which has broad support in France among many others

Which alternatives?

That we do not, unless you pay with your first born child.

Yeah, many people won’t be able to retire, unfortunately. We live longer and are having less children. Not a great combination for comfortable retirement plans.

That's the best sign of spring there is. Onions want to be in the ground this time of year.

Singing the song of angry men?

Well in the context of our conversation, i feel like we both made it obvious that expecting ss to cover the majority of living expenses for 15-20 years was a rather absurd. I'm sure there are people that think that, but they will be in for a rude awakening if that doesn't change. Compound that with inflation, it can make a poorly planned retirement miserable.

You want a visit from Big Onion?

Just keep spilling their trade secrets.

I wouldn’t say “obviously”. Many people are very irresponsible when it comes to retirement planning and think social security is this pension gold mine designed to give retirees plenty of money to live comfortably.
