recipe for ****.
I always found political talk boring and heavy, just bad taste, but seeing it first hand after years in the US, it's just backasswards.
My father worked abroad in the USSR a lot, way back then, and even at that age I somewhat understood the general concepts of what I saw in the media and what he mentionned, but didn't take it seriously because I realized there was more to it than I knew, and already had recognized political talk was rarely rational.
I'd idealized the french a lot while I was gone, remembering only the good points, but I can't help but "hear" the right-wing comments about "leftists" being whiners.
The people are feeding the system rather than the opposite. And I don't mean just money.
Absurd.
