We're not. Luckily, our wealthy are also good at promising doom for lack of votes. That'll keep us serfs in line.
I like how even in today's world of kid gloves and PC BS the French are still 100% fair game for some reason.
They're white, former imperialists, had every advantage geopolitically, and suck economically and militarily. Yet they're culturally snobby. They're begging for it.
I'm also enjoying the liberal argument that these elections show that austerity doesn't work. no. it shows it's politically unpopular.
The only three groups that you can still make fun of without repercussion: 1. French 2. Whites (particularly poor and/or uneducated) 3. Christians
And fat people. We say we are happy when they get their life together and lose 200 pounds, but we're really not.
You can make fun of anybody if it's funny, as Paul Mooney says. Daniel Tosh does it all the time. You just have to figure out how to include people in on the joke or be irreverent.
