Are Americans cowards because they don’t riot like the French? In this video I break down why protest looks so different in France and the U.S.: union strength, healthcare and job security, policing and penalties, federalism, and each country’s history. I also cover the biggest American protests, from the civil rights movement to 2020, and why violence isn’t the same as courage.
