Hey, I'm trying to get back into learning French again. Say what you will about :france-cool: and its empire, but its working class kinda rules (please don't bully me in the afterlife, Mr. Sankara).
I have grown more and more angry at just how popular the right-wing is, and I am hoping that the right isn't the political default in Francophone countries and that chan/Amerikkkan "culture" hasn't poisoned the minds of people into being vulgar pigs. So if there's a corner of the internet/media sphere in another language that's more polite, I'd be happy to learn about it.
Well France has had soldiers with machine guns patrolling beaches to prevent anyone wearing burkhas and has massive support for far right politicians among young people one of whom is a favourite to win the next election. Also Charlie Hebdo is French so yes it is definitely at least as bad
