France calls Algeria colonisation law 'hostile' and blow to dialogue - Lemmy.zip

Yeah well Macron dreams of being the supreme emperor of the world.

Let’s not forget that he complained that former colonies never thanked France for colonizing them.

And that he admires Napoleon and De Gaulle, who loved the idea of empires and colonies.

So nothing so surprising here.

Hold on just one sec. You gotta source your claims bud

Obviously fuck Macron for a gazillion reasons, but he did call the colonisation “a crime against humanity and barbaric” (several months after saying it yielded mixed results, with benefits and drawbacks)

You can call it a stretch because he wasn’t directly talking about colonies, but for me it’s no secret that he loves the concept of colonies. The guy wants to be an emperor, thinks France is superior to everything, and considers other countries as inferior and deserving to be controlled.

Also, yes he did call it a crime against humanity, but also clearly said that there would be no apologies, going as far as talking about the “happy stories” of colonization.

“While visiting Algeria during this year’s presidential election, he called the French colonisation of Algeria a crime against humanity but added that there had been “some great things and some happy stories” in that period of history.”

Macron is a fake bitch, that’s how he got elected in the first place, but once thing is certain: he doesn’t think badly of colonization.
