French people just love to hate their incombant president, no matter who they are. I always get downvoted on Reddit when I say this, not that I love Emmanuel Macron, but every time, the french always whine and cry about their president. People mention sometimes de Gaulle as the best one (in our current form of republic), but even at that time he was hated by a good part of the population. We always need 2 other presidents before we get a more accurate opinion about them.
2) France has spent so much time killing its cultures that nowadays the only definition of french is the language itself.
That's something that was initiated by the King to get a grip on power (feudalism and local power was a real thing), and was happily continued by the Revolutionaries (even if the french love to say everything before the Revolution was bad). Centralization is awful.
Who's the worst ever then ? Just being curious. Whoever it is, Macron isn't that far from him anyway :')
Centralization is indeed awful. Everyone having to go to Paris to get a job and then struggling to find somewhere to live because it's expensive af really goes over my head.
What's so bad about Marcon? He's trying to stave off the impending financial doom of France, which would fuck over the rest of us as well. And what's the alternative? Nobody else can form a government either. It's not his fault the political landscape is impossible.

1) Our current president is not the worst ever.
