Except the French. They start a riot for every small change.

I'm glad people have correctly realized that the French should be associated with violent anti government riots and not surrendering. That was a meme that needed to die.

When you actually study French history for 5 minutes, you realise how the memes about the French surrendering are straight-up ridiculous. And the people hold their government to account far more than most countries.

I mean, they chopped off lots of heads back in the day. Smashing some shop windows and burning a couple of police cars is kind of a slow day for them.
