Reactionary Outbursts And Bigotry

[The East Marches]

Is the culture across France entirely the same? No it isn't. Same for Italy, Spain, Great Britain, etc. America does have an overarching identity however.

France is actually a bad exemple. One century of Hussard Noirs erased the regional differences way more efficiently than any ethnic cleansing could have ever done.
The last thing remaining is accent, and even so, apart from the Marseillais that is still obvious, they almost all disappeared.

I liked the Occitans. They were a bit weird but interesting people. People there are still buttmad over the teachers. It was a real shame.

And yet there are still regional differences.

Not really man. The only real differences I found were in Alsace. The French are very good at... "unifying".

No, you don't understand, France won! France always wins! That's why the Académie française has been so successful in stopping Anglicisms from entering the French language!

Hé, we gave you 45% of your vocabulary; we can at least take some of it back!

Gave? We totally stole most of it.

Our dreaded "e-mail" was stopped by those monsters. We were so close to corrupting them.

So there is no difference between say Paris, and other cities around France, that is not what I have seen.

No, actually. If you compare Paris to the second biggest city that's to say Lyon, you will find little difference apart from some words that remained from the Patois in French (if you ever watched the very good tv series Kaamelot, you may actually know a good lot of them) and a small accent (we prononce cahier as cahiè rather than cahié).
Same go with the other smaller ones.

You are aware that France used to be populated by little regional languages?

Funny, most people say differently. That Paris is very different from other areas of France.

Well it is in someway. People are way more prickish and haughty, there. The common stereotype people abroad have about French is mostly based on Parisians' behavior alone, and most of us "provinciaux" can't stand them either.
Apart from this difference in attitude, there isn't any cultural one; however.

As I said people have said that there are major cultural differences between Paris and other places. Attitude is just a part of it.

Could you maybe be a little more precise on what are those differences exactly and elaborate some more?
Because don't take it bad but if you are trying to deny what a frenchman is telling about his own culture, you may need to have something a little less vague than "some people told me so".

For one thing Paris tends to have a lot of foreigners, which I would think affect the culture. There is of course the fact that as a city Paris would be different from say a rural part of France.

Leftists pushed too hard and made a bunch of people radically opposed to them. Reap what you sow.

[Quokkastan]

Leftists pushed too hard and made a bunch of people radically opposed to them. Reap what you sow.

And now that bunch of people is making sure that absolutely every sensible person in the world hates them.

So a win for leftists, I guess.

The leftists are the ones making everybody hate them.

[Waldriech]

Racism? Please it's 2016. Homophobia? No, people like me just agree that the homo and heshe fools are immoral psychos who are hijacking our culture.

Clearly.

The current political trends indicate otherwise. It's best not to ignore the future. The culture is going to change. Trump is going to win and the far-right will sweep Europe, and the SJW-tier leftists will probably have to live in fear. Perhaps we'll give them some retribution. Maybe publicly harass them? Maybe make them unemployable by destroying their reputations? Get them fired from their jobs? Call them privileged even though we are deliberately attacking them?

Oh, it's going to be fun.

Just cut out the middle man and give them the deathblow. Ignore them.

Well I don't want to diminish from the sexual glee you derive from your authoritarian fantasies, so I'm going to neglect to comment on that.

What? Can SJWs not handle a taste of their own medicine?
