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.

    I was just reading Foreignexchanges and how French troops in Mali just killed a woman on her motorcycle in unclear circumstances. France is an active empire

      Wait until you find out the franc is still in circulation, but only in Africa. France sells these countries their currency and in return receives their resources. Why do you think they were so keen to off Khadaffy? His plan was to introduce an African gold-backed dinar and remove the bankers' vampire squid beaks from the people's faces.

        Wait the Trump idiots had the wrong Dinar, it was the Libyan dinar they shouldve backed all along

        But jokes aside yeah that shit is depressing AF
