french politics

have you seen french politics? like actually?

i know that when compared to the US it may as well be a socialist utopia but french politics are awful. france is one of the countries most responsible for imperialism and colonialism. france is one of the most systematically racist countries in europe, and that’s saying something!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Really it’s more that French politicians are properly accountable to the people, who will protest and strike frequently. That’s what makes French politics great, not the leaders but the citizens.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't know how much you know about France, and french politics specifically, but as a person born in France I want to tell you that you might have been mislead... From my point of view and with my knowledge, politics here is a shit show, basically the elite mock everyone, France is run by billionaires, happily oppressing the poor.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Ain't we all? But honestly I get so frustrated with seeing what they debate over and how everything is just done for profit and from what the politians can hoard most money from. I know it's joked about a lot but it just seems insane that Babiš can just use all these things for his own companies and profit. I rather not watch politics at all just from memes and what I hear from others so I might not know everything but still just seems insane they can do these things.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So what I'm hearing is that people know how to protest over there because yall have a lot to protest against

No, politicians don't give a shit about people striking. And the biggest haters of strikes are the citizens who don't like their life and privileges to be disturbed by people striking for their rights.

Wait until you hear the bastard child of French, germanic and a bunch of other languages. You can have a word like "lead" and you don't even know how to pronounce it!

though thoughts are tough.

As a Spanish speaker, I find it so ironic to see this meme in English...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (17 children)

English might be a bit- creative with the spellings of words but at least they pronounce most of the letters, not just half of them

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

But the pronunciations are different word by word. French letter combos make the same sound even if they are not each pronounced the American away, which is nice as a French novice.

Not pictured: French aircraft design

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

The Concorde was just loud and cost more money to run, and in 27 years had only one fatal accident wherein a DC-10(American designed) left a piece of debris on the runway which ultimately kicked off the incident. It was a pretty good plane from my understanding.

If we’re calling out specifics, the Airbus is an incredibly successful plane.

Nope, pretty sure French politics should get a crying face (saying this as a French citizen)

At least the Belgian and Swiss Frenches have slightly less weird numbering. Though in France, you get to say "80." "Leul, blaze it"

We did that to stop English from stealing from us. They didn't get the joke, and here we are.

I once heard from a friend learning French that the way to say that you are in the process of doing something literally translated to 'I am on the train to [doing the thing]'. Is that correct?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago (2 children)

it would seem like that because the words are the same, but in the locution "en train de [verbe]", en train has the 15th century meaning of "in action", "in movement", this predates the invention of the railroad :)
