But France says, "No thank you" to "America's woke ideology."


Some excerpts from the article:

One of France's leading magazines, Le Spectacle Du Monde, ran a cover story titled "The Suicide of America." The magazine blamed America's retreat from Afghanistan on "a woke dictatorship" and questioned whether the American "empire was collapsing."

In the same issue, an article faulted U.S. universities as islands of extremism, where even students' Halloween costumes are policed, citing Yale University as a place where "offensive" costume-wearers were punished.

A few miles from where U.S. soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy, a conference of leading politicians, journalists and intellectuals devoted a panel to "America's woke ideology." Some panelists seemed alarmed by the trends they saw in American society, including alleged "woke" censorship by Twitter, Facebook and other U.S. tech giants.

the panel was full of criticism about the perceived decline of free speech in America.

In an interview with Elle magazine earlier this summer, President Macron said American-imported "woke culture" is "racializing" France and creating more division among minorities.

Macron's anti-woke sentiment is widely shared in his government, even by the delegate minister for gender equality and diversity, Elisabeth Moreno, a Black woman born in Cape Verde, off the coast of western Africa. In a televised interview with Bloomberg, she praised the increased awareness on social issues, but rejected cancel culture because it can "kick out people from ongoing debates because they think otherwise."

"The two most toxic ideologies of the 20th century were Nazism and Marxism. In my opinion, Nazism was identity politics on steroids, and Marxism was an oppressor narrative on steroids. The combination of the two is actually modern wokeism that was born in the United States," said Vivek Ramaswamy, author of Woke Inc.

Any rational observer, seeing some of the irrational, self-defeating actions and rhetoric on America's Left would notice that it is insidious and harmful to the society at large. These comments could have come from anywhere in Western Europe.

But there are things Americans could learn from the French, as well as the British, Germans, Italians, and maybe even the Spaniards, as well as things they could learn from us. One could write a book.
 
Unlike the French we spend bookoo trillions on wars and lose our soldiers in many ways. However, like the French we now lose the wars. At least since WW 2.

It's kind of like how American liberal trash whine about American farm subsidies while saying we need to be more like Eurotrash without ever mentioning that every European country subsidizes farming and is even more protectionist than the US. Simply put, liberals are stupid.

France does have their elections right. We know in less than 24 hours who won and people vote election day in person, don't have to wait days or weeks while one party creates votes coming in out of nowhere.

And they do hand counting so nobody can suspect a nefarious person monkeying around with those voter machines. They can go back anytime and verify questionable ballots.

Of course reject the woke mentality.

Problem is....France is not what it used to be anymore.

That France is gone....too sad too awfully bad....oh well....
 
I have a hard time believing America will ever be more liberal than France.

Freedom Fries, anyone?

France has only in-person voting, hand counted, with very few exceptions for casting an absentee ballot.

They know who won their election by 10 pm the same day.

Not really hard to imagine at all. Look at statistics where young people are indoctrinated into believing in Socialism and hating Capitalism. More and more are becoming atheists and religions are losing members all the time. As bad as things are in Chicago, they say polls are favoring the reelection of the worst Mayor in our country, Lori Lighthead.

France had a chance to elect a common sense candidate in LePen. LePen got only 40% of the vote. Macron, the liberal candidate, won by nearly 20%. France is a lost cause.
