French students riot for any reason. It’s a sport. There is a long tradition of rioting and aggressive striking that the US doesn’t have.

French truck drivers struck and used their trucks to block traffic last year.

Farmers dumped crops in the city streets.

It’s what they do. US culture is different and our revolt is at the ballot box.

What?? But I thought the French were so sophisticated; so enlightened. Could it be the US public school teachers have been feeding us a lot of baloney all along?
