I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

The best summary of the French victory in the World Cup I have read:

'The French are winning the World Cup, but losing their country'. Spot on 👍

The French team did not look French to me at all. And those post match riots in France are a huge disgrace. The rest of the world watching them can only shake our heads at the decay that has eaten away at this once glorious country. Sad really.

@Cierzo yes true, but they could handle it more humainely, paedos in prison get treated better than them.
It’s impossible to smuggle yourself in here, our border is all ocean.

@novembermoon Those commonsensical things you say is what most people used to think in the world I grew up, regarding both inmigrants coming to my country, and those who had to emigrate.

But at some point this logic was blown away. We started being bombarded with messages about how cultural enriching immigration is. Also with messages telling us that immigrants come as a consequence of wars 'we' cause ( I am still waiting for someone to tell me which wars I have caused), or by being colonisators centuries ago (again, which countries did I colonised?).

@Cierzo people can choose their attitude towards the past. We don't pretend colonization did not happen. Here in SE Asia, much of the lands were taken by the British, the French, the Dutch, the Portuguese and Spanish and the Americans. But after they left, we built our country. To continue to whine about being exploited is to take the easy way out. It is so easy to act the victim. It is much much harder to plod on quietly, work hard and overtake your colonial masters in the first world. Respect must be earned.

Some people do not even win the world Cup but still lose their homelands.
@Mugin16 In this case I don't think so

@Mugin16 I hope you'll be right 👍

@Cierzo shame on Macron, for a country in shambles.
Cierzo · M
@novembermoon Macron is just the last step in a conatant going downhill. At some point there will be a reaction.The question is how violent it will be, and if it will be on time, or it will come too late.

@Cierzo reactions happen in response to stimuli and therefore can never be too late. They happen when they're supposed to.

Yeah. France is a joke.
