An unhinged mob

[CapnAwesome]

That kinda does seem to be the way it is being taken.

Talk to some of the forum users who live in France or Spain. We Americans tend to sit on our fat asses, expecting politicians to solve our problems, whilst Europeans often take a more proactive approach. They demand a better government. And (for the most post) I think Europe has left us in the dust as far as social infrastructure goes. We have a bloated, inefficient welfare state, while they have robust social that meet the needs of many of their citizens. They get better results because they demand better results.

All the OP video is doing is fear mongering. I think it's good that people are assembling with the purpose to affect the bureaucratic process.

There is a lot of trade offs though for the European system. For example the American unemployment rate is 3 or 4% right now. France is 9% and Spain is 16%. So that welfare state of theirs comes at a price. I literally found a job the first day I was looking in the US twice this year. Also Spain has a large part of Spain that doesn't even want to be part of the country anymore.

American's might not protest the same as Europeans (Alphamale has no idea what an unruly mob actually looks like.) because we don't really have that many problems. If our unemployment rate goes to 16%, you are going to see some social unrest here.

I'm basically in favor of most protests or riots, irregardless of what they are protesting. I like a little chaos, I think it's healthy for our leaders to be a little nervous, no matter the political party.
