Fuck the reactionaries, fuck this far-right, fuck all of those who would like to lock us into a war of all against all.
Uncensored for your reading pleasure. Seems pretty badass to me and brought a smile to my face.
- The mediabiasfactchecker bot has commented in the thread so if you can't see it, then i guess yup it blocked you.
  
  Thanks for confirming, I guess it has blocked me then.
  EDIT: Nevermind I actually blocked it. Must have done it in a 3am doom scrolling stupor.
- I voted Anne Hidalgo for president in the first round. She’s so cool.
  She literally follows the fuckcars twitter account that I help run (I used to be a fuckcars mod on reddit).
- Fucking legend!

I was wondering how she said it in French cause we don’t really have a translation for fuck (that would be "j’emmerde" or "j'encule" in that specific case).
"Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous"
Yeah ok, it’s easier that way, well done Madame La Maire de Paris 👌
- I realize l'Académie Française frowns at the introduction of English words into the French language, but it feels like they should make an exception in this case.
  
  Fuck l'Académie Française as well.
  
  Unfortunately the Académie Française is mostly full of crusty old men who think they can dictate how the french language evolves, so we rarely care about what they have to say
  
  They should insist that it gets written in the Constitution.
  Le peuple français proclame solennellement son attachement aux Droits de l'homme et aux principes de la souveraineté nationale tels qu'ils ont été définis par la Déclaration de 1789 [...]
  En vertu de ces principes et de celui de la libre détermination des peuples, la République proclame Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous.
- “Fuck aux réacs, fuck à cette extrême droite, fuck à tous ceux qui voudraient nous enfermer dans la guerre de tous contre tous”
  I want to etch this above my home's front door
- don’t really have a translation for fuck
  Certified not Quebecois
  Fuck is like their word for eh
- I for one embrace the use of fuck in french as new word.
  Je fucke
  Tu fuckes
  Il/Elle fucke
  Nous fuckons
  Vous fuckez
  Ils/Elles fuckont
  Or you can optionally drop the standard conjugation and just say fuck, idk. Also, "je the vais fucker" for "imma fuck you up"
  
  Ils/elles fuckent
  Je vais te fucker
- Couldn't you use something with putain instead, like « putain de réacs » ?
  
  Yes you can, but it won't be the same meaning.
  "Putain d’extrême droite" would be "fucking far right" and not "fuck the far right".
  That's not much but one is being annoyed at something, the other is actively insulting something.
- Maybe something like “qu’ils aillent se faire foutre” lol
  
  Yes it could be "Qu'ils aillent se faire foutre" as well.
  So many ways of saying fuck according to different situations, it is better that she said "fuck" as a french version would have been too vulgar and would have provoked some political scandal.

I know that country's name should never be spoken, but it's a little far to call it's name an "f-bomb"
/s, just in case
- fr*nce

Using “f-bomb” and LGBT in the same sentence is dangerous
- Yeah, I thought this was an entirely different story at first

Merovingian vibes.

I get confused at first glance any time I read: anti-[anything] critics.
- Too many negatives fighting for space.
- Better open the article

Hell yeah, the correct response

I get it, people getting angry for mocking Christianity. I mean, they believe in a single 2000 year old book of fairytales and believe in an imaginary friend.
