@azrael_karalyn@Arnold_Platon@xav_moss@redeuced Je ne pense pas. La plupart des français ont bien en tête la distinction entre le littoral méditerranéen dans son ensemble et la Côte d’Azur.
Ce qui est plus flou, c’est sa frontière ouest. Je suis parisien, et pour moi elle est plus à Toulon voire Marseille qu’à St Trop.
@ballsofanubis@MK94176287@shanevogue Actually, my last point might be wrong. Other culturally Latin European countries such as Spain and Italy might be similar. Or even some other European countries. The true contrast though is certainly with protestant and/or 3rd world countries.
@ballsofanubis@MK94176287@shanevogue Based !!
The reason behind this contrast is that French bourgeoisie is either progressive to an almost diabolical degree or conservative & religious, only a minority is in-between.
France is quite unique in that the upper classes are generally more religious.
@hachessk@n30n5223434 Tbf the more I learned about it, the more I came to understand that what Turks did to Armenians was simply the cold, rational thing to do. It was brutal, but Armenians weren’t an innocent minority either and they had delusional ambitions compared to their actual strengths.
@JesseKNL Anyone knowledgeable enough about French politics who tells you that Le Pen is as dangerous as Mélenchon is straight up a genocidal freak who wants to see France, her economy, her cities and her people burn.
And I say this as someone who's not even really far-right.
@SuperSrb3@RealJarTaylor Because it’s self-evident, to the point that it would rightfully be interpreted as populism. Thus, she has nothing to gain from it.
Meanwhile, Italy under Meloni has really sought to increase its market shares in Africa where they love it when you inflate their weak ego.
@Yana_BlackSoul@shanevogue I find this very hard to believe. With 8% IBM they wouldn't cluster as close to Southern France.
And Southern Italians are btw much more MENA-shifted than any region of Spain.
@michael_da87678@Texas_Frog_3 Skilled people with privileged access to the first world making more money is completely natural, but lower classes seems completely abandoned to their fate and the violence is just crazy. How do you manage the latter? I could have seen myself working from there without it.
