France is one of the main reasons Latin American and African countries are in the positions they’re in… I don’t see how France could be the “country of human rights”

Namibia consistently ranks as the top country in Africa regarding press freedom and has been a stable democracy ever since being freed from colonial rule by South Africa.

(South Africa had a mandate over Namibia I mean, the Apartheid fucks attempted to implement Apartheid there, not free the country).

There’s still issues with women’s rights and those of sexual minorities, as well as various indigenous groups being marginalised and having poor socio-economic status (notably San) but overall that’s more of a function of where the country came from, and not where it’s going.

You should be exactly as ashamed of being behind Namibia in press freedom as you’re ashamed of being behind Germany. Also, that your former colonies fare much, much worse. Git gud. And you can find solace in the fact that the UK ranks below you.

Maybe you’re just a bigot.

Costa Rica is in Central America.

Not if you’re absorbed in snooty eurocentric self righteousness they’re not

France is the “country of human rights”

There has literally never been a single moment in history when this was even remotely true. France has done more harm to humanity than nearly any other civilization in recorded history.

Fuck off imperialist.
