Reply #189: I love your projection exercise, you have no clue what the term "exceptionalism" means, do you?

If you are going to talk about the deaths from a heat wave, which affects a whole country, with the US leaving the poor citizens of a SINGLE CITY to drown... guess what? You are indeed operating under the almighty American exceptionalism banner. Because, besides the fact that you grossly inflated the numbers of French people who died, I assume you forgot all the Americans who die EVERY TIME we have a heat wave in this country... a few years ago the elderly were dropping like flies in Chicago, for example.

But what it was the kicker was you mocking the French for rioting. French citizens exercise their rights to riot and FIGHT TO DEFEND THEIR INTERESTS... because they understand that democracy is not an spectator's sport. The only thing some Americans like you can do is spew passive aggressive BS, thinking they are actually doing something.

Look at this f*cking place, we just got a health care reform which would have sent all those French people on the streets asking for the heads of the representatives which sold us to the insurance corporations. But instead, the "glorious" Americans sit behind a computer and bitch about it. In the end, the French enjoy one of the best health care systems in the world... while you and I get stuck with this inhumane piece of garbage which is healthcare for profit. So congrats! Let's deflect any criticism of our country, by insulting the French. Talk about exceptionalism... deflection and projection seem to be about the last things some people in this country are experts at... Good grief.
