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.

    The leading candidates in polls for France's Presidential election next year are:

    Macron - incumbent. Neoliberal Jupiter-wannabe. Thinks Africans need France to civilize them.

    Marine Le Pen - a fascist

    Eric Zemmour - a right-wing journalist who has identified as a "Bonapartist" and has been cited multiple times for racial hatred.

    How do you think that reflects on their Overton Window?
