my favorite intellectual said that the USA are better than us in every way nowadays, and i feel quite devastated."Anyone who has set foot in the United States has seen that the country surpasses us in every way: energy, intellectual life, physical culture, libraries, museums, job market, restaurants, economy, discipline, audacity, national park system, sense of responsibility, and even kindness. After six months in California, the French seem like jaded, sneering, and tired little sourpusses. Even the supposed poverty of American cuisine is a myth; good wines, fruits, and cheeses are widespread. A sixty-year-old American woman has more zest for life than a twenty-five-year-old Frenchman; and after working on an American campus, one hardly dares call our public higher education system a "university." All of our fashions, ways of thinking, and ideas come directly from the United States, in a more or less debased form, but increasingly as we know them. When the French, faced with this enormous fact, reassure themselves by imagining Americans as an obese and ignorant people, they are not very different from North Africans convinced of their superiority and imagining the French as stingy and unclean. Our advantages over the Americans stem from what we inherited from our ancestors: architecture, literature. We have a better way of life, but that's all, and it's a privilege of retirement. France will not resist the global replacement, which also originates in the United States, without revealing its true face and taking a paradoxical detour through American vitality."(google translation)is this true in your opinion?
>>219797591No.Even if it was true, your "intellectual" is just a cucked faltalist grifter, who should be beheaded on the spot for self-sabotage.
french have been behind the times ever since ww2, 1900 was your glory days
>>219797591Americans have much better living standarts than Europeans but living a good life doesn't mean you live in better conditions, it's about the match between expectations and reality.
>>219797591who was it and when was itbecause america really did have its prime time where they outclassed us allnot sure its accurate anymore but 1950-2000 they outclassed us bad
>>219797759That shit makes no sense because you misuse terminology so bad. And it was about the French to begin with.
>>219797759>Americans have much better living standarts than EuropeansNot true. Their food and water supply is poisoned, they get charged 10 grand for an ambulance ride, and their houses are made of boards.
>intellectual lifeUnless you consider BLM and tranny shit peak intellectualism I don't understand how he arrived at that conclusion
>>219797969>BLM and trannyThroughout history progressive movements have always been seen as absurd in their own time, but through a kind of "education" process carried out by a small group of intellectuals within the society, they have become the norm in next generations. This is the mechanism of civilizational development.So yeah those are the distinguished intellectuals and you are just part of the human mass.
>>219798099>Throughout history progressive movements have always been seen as absurd in their own time,lol there is nothing subversive about tranny and BLM. If you dare to criticize them you'll get censored in many places
>>219797591Who’s your favorite intellectual?Also yeah, I find that the French are lacking- how you say?- a certain joie de vivre.
>>219799334renaud camus
>>219797591its very obviousalso it is intentional, french as a nation have taken deliberate steps to make france weaker and make life in france worse
>>219797591>museumsno, their museums suck. they don't even have any real Rembrandts, these losers
>>219797591I could've told you that. All European feigned "superiority" is just sad cope. We mog everyone and that's just a fact.
