Yeah, they should be happy to live in France and not complain about the rampant racism, the selective enforcement of laws along racial and ethnic lines, the continued neocolonialism in Africa, the continued support for the imperial world order with massive arms exports to Saudi and UAE, war crimes in Yemen, participation in the demolition of Libya and Syria, and so on. They maintain the world financial system that impoverishes the rest of the world, particularly Africa, and they hold steadfast to that legacy, continuing to extract wealth and over-exploit countries for the crimes of liberating themselves from French colonial rule.

    I know it's Olympics season but there's no medal for "oppressed". You don't get to tell people that they should be happy living in a neoliberal hellscape that participates in genocide and oppresses their domestic population simply because it wasn't apartheid South Africa. I guarantee you whatever country you lived in that you think is so terribad was nothing compared to the American genocide of the Indians or the transatlantic slave trade or whatever.
