Look at it this way, though: You have a system which limits the progress of far-right populists. Great! We don’t. But if we try to explain how the system screws us over, it’s just “excuses.” And our protests that get people out in the streets are “ineffective.”

We’re doing the same as you, which is everything legally and procedurally possible, and protesting, too. A little empathy, and understanding the limits of our system would be nice.

  So, no acknowledgement of anything in their message that might be agreeable or correct? Just a denial of a tangential assumption, as if the your “French nationality” were the core of that comment.

  Was a pretty cogent request and the final of only 2 “paragraphs”, so confused on how you might have misplaced it.

    I replied to them to call out some ignorant remarks they made. They started talking about something else. Why would I continue the conversation?

    I was correcting another incorrect remark. I don’t think they read what I wrote if they think I am french.

    Why am I expected to respond to this person’s request?
