    French is such a beautiful language

      She actually used English (for ‘fuck’ anyway), which surprised me.

        It’s been commonly used as a pejorative in French for a decade or so.

            I remember sitting in a cafe in Copenhagen and overhearing a conversation at the table next to mine. I had no idea what they were talking about but “fucking” was the only word I recognized. It was about every third word they said.

          Au Canada, le juron francais que j’entends est ‘tabarnak’, ‘calice’, ‘ostie’ au lieu de ‘fuck.’

          (So I was surprised)

            Pourtant c’est plutôt commun au Québec. Ça s’enchaîne pas comme les sacres liturgiques mais c’est bien utilisé. Quelque chose peut être fucké. Une personne peut être fuckée. C’est fucking chiant. Fuck ça! Juste, fuck!

      I am seeing no hypocrisy here based on her motto

      How are you reading it? Angrily?

    I wasn’t aware of her comment. Googling for it showed me an article in English saying she dropped the F bomb. I thought it was in an interview in English but no, she used it in French, which makes it a bit less impressive.

    Pour les gens qui veulent pas googler, voici la citation exacte

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

      Merci pour la citation. Indeed the fact she’s used the English word makes it lose a bit of edge but still, the sentiment is there.

    I was sure this was fake until I saw some of the comments and looked it up. This is amazing!

    She’s kind of hated though. Also she absolutely is a hard lib, siding with Macron’s government

    Edit: i’m not saying lib as socially liberal as opposed to conservative
