Politicians, prominent intellectuals, and academics in France have voiced concern that 'out-of-control leftism and cancel culture' from the United States is threatening French identity.

They are arguing that American ideas on race, gender, post-colonialism – especially those coming from U.S. universities – are undermining French society and are an attack on French heritage.

The collection of intellectuals arguing that France is being contaminated by the leftism of America was buoyed on last year after French President Emmanuel Macron appeared to side with them.

In a speech in October on the 'Fight against Separatism', Macron warned against leaving 'the intellectual debate to others' as he cautioned of the 'certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States

The French do not want wokeism in France.

The French do not want wokeism in France.

Neither do most Americans.

For now, at least.

It's not just American or French culture that is under attack. It's western civilization that is based on capitalism and equality.

I may be wrong, but I think Kerry started most of this 'appease Europe' crap in 2003 or so...  with the propaganda-line about Gitmo causing terrorist-behavior and Bush43 should be 'tried' in The Hague, etc.

Europe will love us if we close Gitmo.

But nobody asked European Governments... who essentially didn't give a rat's ass if we closed some prison in Cuba or not.
