The end-stage Leftwit Superstate.
I’m French 🇫🇷.
I was born in Paris.
I spent 25 years there.But now: I don’t even want to know what happens in that hellhole 💀⚰️.
Not “troubled.” Not “declining.” Not “going through a difficult period.”
No. A HELLHOLE.
A country where everything is dirty, expensive, hostile, bureaucratic and permanently dysfunctional.
You pay absurd taxes for public services that increasingly behave as if providing a service were an unreasonable personal request.
Paris is noise, aggression, filth, traffic, strikes, scaffolding, sirens, queues, broken infrastructure and the constant sensation that every basic task has been deliberately redesigned to waste your time.
Nothing works without friction.
Nothing happens without paperwork.
Nothing can be fixed without a committee, a consultation, a union dispute, three administrative layers and somebody explaining why expecting normality is politically problematic.
Gee, THAT doesn’t sound at all familiar.
.Like I always say: go ye and read the rest, for It. Is. Good. Bleak, yes. Grim, why sure. Depressing, no doubt about it. Nevertheless: good.

Sad but true. Paris and Lyon were the only “big citys” that I ever truly liked. I went to France often when working and spent time in Paris, Lyon, and several smaller places. That was in the early 80’s continuing through around 2010. I could see the decline, the change: the results of socialism always occur and are always terrible. Socialism is always just a thinly veiled cover for communism, and it is the socialists that bring in the 3rd world invasion to cover for their incompetence and destroy the very society they have gained control of.
France is at the beginning of a civil war. There is no avoiding it there. Germany and the UK will follow I believe. I often state it is hopless and then recall my Kipling –

Kipling undersood the West.
Paris is the Beirut of Europe:
