I’m envious of the way the French protest their government. They’re literally setting things on fire because their schools aren’t adequate. Because the government tried to raise the retirement age. Because their politicians are shitbags.

I think the biggest obstacle to organizing in the US is the sheer distance. It takes 40 solid hours of driving to get from one side to the other. That’s not counting any breaks. France takes about 14 hours. Doable in a day or so if you push it.

Anyway, I’d sign up for a Revolution if there was a serious contender.

    I’ll be a monkey, then. Ooh ah ooh ah ah.

    Who cares? This monkey can vote, and if you want a monkey’s vote, you can’t just talk to it. You have to give it bananas. And dropping genocide from your party’s platform is a very, very tasty banana.

    Come back with bananas, or all you’ll get from talking to this monkey is poop thrown at you.
