Not every bad thing people do is the fault of the US.

The French can be proper assholes. Look up the history of Haiti and which European colonies purchased the most African slaves.

Then ask. Where did all they go?

France has been burning itself to the ground longer than the US has even been a thing.

Recently the French police seem to be worse.

It’s very real, here are two legit sources in french:

You can use the service of your choice to translate them if you don’t understand french.

This is bad, but that’s such an overused comparison. It can even be counterproductive because the Oceania from the books is so obviously different from the real world.

A rapist, a snitch, a plagiarist, and a racist walk into a bar.

The bartender asks “How’s the new book coming Mr. Orwell?”

The same book which has been funded to be spread as far as possible, all over the world by the CIA.

Classic. What a warning.
