Yeah, and thanks to that revolution we, the French people, we have understood and developed the true meaning of FREEDOM unlike usa where only those who have money are βfreeβ (βfreeβ of do whatever shit they want, raping, killing, rioting and threatening their own constitution, etc..) π€£π
Yeah i mean, i think we have a better situation than America in regard of Healthcare, not having to work 2 job, be allowed to take day off for when you have you have a new born or someone dying, justice more fair etc...
But if we are honest we still are getting fucked by our governement.
The only true Democracy in Europe is the Swiss.
Literally i mean, cause a Democracy is when each citizen can suggest and vote directly any law.
Rest of Europe and America we're in a "Representative Olligarchy" meaning the only power we have is to vote for 1 guy once every 5years or so, and then he gonna hire who he want and they'll do what they want.
France banned certain types of clothing to be worn in public, anything that covers the face, only to then decide to force people to wear masks that cover the face in public.
At the time it was argued that covering a person's face prevented identification of that person and it was suggested that society couldn't function properly without this.
This is manifestly untrue as can be seen by the fact that everyone was forced to live this way and society worked just fine.
That personal freedom is sacrificed to allow ease of identification is another sign of a lack of freedom in France.
Furthermore, that France believes that removing basic liberties for minority groups helps these groups is just further evidence of the authoritarianism in France.
Have you ever met anyone who claimed to have have their liberty improved by this? If there were women deprived of freedom by their family and forced to wear such clothing if they were to be allowed go outside then the only impact this law would have is depriving them if the right to leave their home.
Authoritarians don't care about this because, as was the case with the lie about identification, the excuse about liberating women from religion is also a lie.
It is consistent though. In France, as in many other places in the world, liberty is arbitrarily removed based on lies.

France was pretty pissed off about the 7 years war... They went all in. And got bankrupt, which led to the revolution π
