I’m married to a French, they aren’t really taught “the bad stuff” and are taught things like they were nicer/better to everyone than other colonizers so really they were the most morally righteous of their time so can’t be the ones who were wrong/are wrong. They use their anti-slavery status to ignore everything else and still consider themselves the country who invented culture… France is a lot like the US in the way it sees its self as righteous and superior and therefore anything they’ve done is right and understandable in the context it happened in. It’s weird talking to French people about French history because the scope of what they’re taught about is extremely limited and they’re extremely self righteous about it

What is colonization?

Ohh that purge will be here soon!!
