Fuck the reactionaries, fuck this far-right, fuck all of those who would like to lock us into a war of all against all.

Uncensored for your reading pleasure. Seems pretty badass to me and brought a smile to my face.

The mediabiasfactchecker bot has commented in the thread so if you can't see it, then i guess yup it blocked you.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Thanks for confirming, I guess it has blocked me then.

EDIT: Nevermind I actually blocked it. Must have done it in a 3am doom scrolling stupor.

I voted Anne Hidalgo for president in the first round. She’s so cool.

She literally follows the fuckcars twitter account that I help run (I used to be a fuckcars mod on reddit).

Fucking legend!

I was wondering how she said it in French cause we don’t really have a translation for fuck (that would be "j’emmerde" or "j'encule" in that specific case).

"Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous"

Yeah ok, it’s easier that way, well done Madame La Maire de Paris 👌

I realize l'Académie Française frowns at the introduction of English words into the French language, but it feels like they should make an exception in this case.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Fuck l'Académie Française as well.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Fuck everything

We should have elected this guy.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I assume you wrote that on le computer.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Exactement. With the clavier.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Unfortunately the Académie Française is mostly full of crusty old men who think they can dictate how the french language evolves, so we rarely care about what they have to say

[-] [email protected] -5 points 1 month ago

The alternative is English, where influencers and popular-girl types push something into popularity, and that drives the (d)evolution of the language. Quite actually the worst of us, the most shallow and short-sighted of us, people who peaked in high-school, people who have no idea how this or any other language works, decide how we speak.

Now we have words which are synonymous with their own antonyms, pluralization for a derived word different from its own root, no collective retained clue about mass nouns, and "because Becky said it" kind of rules fighting with the "massive population of ESL and their bad adjective order is the most popular, ergo the standard" mess.

And you complain about old scholars?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Prescriptivists try not to be weird challenge.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Prescriptivism is exactly the opposite of blindly following vapid influencers and their eternal quest for 'likes'. There is something in the middle between prescriptivism and Idiocracy, and that middle ground was the fucking point of what I said.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I don't need the acrimonious screeds of a racist incel to tell me how language should function. I communicate daily, in English, both on and offline, and have yet to witness this breakdown of communication you're decrying.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

To be honest, it is the same here. The old scholars are mostly for show (and weird ass polemics).

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

They should insist that it gets written in the Constitution.

Le peuple français proclame solennellement son attachement aux Droits de l'homme et aux principes de la souveraineté nationale tels qu'ils ont été définis par la Déclaration de 1789 [...]

En vertu de ces principes et de celui de la libre détermination des peuples, la République proclame Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

“Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous”

I want to etch this above my home's front door

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

don’t really have a translation for fuck

Certified not Quebecois

Fuck is like their word for eh

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I for one embrace the use of fuck in french as new word.

Je fucke

Tu fuckes

Il/Elle fucke

Nous fuckons

Vous fuckez

Ils/Elles fuckont

Or you can optionally drop the standard conjugation and just say fuck, idk. Also, "je the vais fucker" for "imma fuck you up"

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Ils/elles fuckent

Je vais te fucker

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Couldn't you use something with putain instead, like « putain de réacs » ?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Yes you can, but it won't be the same meaning.

"Putain d’extrême droite" would be "fucking far right" and not "fuck the far right".

That's not much but one is being annoyed at something, the other is actively insulting something.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Maybe something like “qu’ils aient se faire foutre” lol

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Yes it could be "Qu'ils aillent se faire foutre" as well.

So many ways of saying fuck according to different situations, it is better that she said "fuck" as a french version would have been too vulgar and would have provoked some political scandal.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I'm partial to "j'encule," which also would work in that context.

[-] [email protected] 52 points 1 month ago

I know that country's name should never be spoken, but it's a little far to call it's name an "f-bomb"

/s, just in case

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago
[-] [email protected] 41 points 1 month ago

Using “f-bomb” and LGBT in the same sentence is dangerous

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I thought this was an entirely different story at first

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Merovingian vibes.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

I get confused at first glance any time I read: anti-[anything] critics.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Too many negatives fighting for space.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Better open the article

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah, the correct response

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I get it, people getting angry for mocking Christianity. I mean, they believe in a single 2000 year old book of fairytales and believe in an imaginary friend.
