    Hopefully this will spread to north America but it is unlikely. Corpos have had a strangle hold for decades.

      I mean that too but also I don’t think it’s a coincidence that these protests are all happening in Romance language-speaking countries. In my uneducated estimation, these protests are probably spreading along the same lines as day to day communication, but that kind of communication just doesn’t exist between, say, American and French youths. If I had to bet on one place in North America getting a protest wave, it’d probably be Quebec.

        All those romance language speaking countries consume english content daily. Nobody in Italy reads Spanish or French news. Italian speak better English than they speak French. I am not really sure the language similarity is a factor tbh. I think education and protest culture are much bigger factors. Albania and Serbia speak totally different languages.
