1. The French Election is important and being discussed on DL.; 2. His comment is meant to appeal to anti-gay bloc.

This is EXACTLY was is driving voters to political parties that better serve their interests and sensibilities. It's just like London's Labour Mayor Khan stating that 'Terror Attacks ‘Part And Parcel Of Life In A Big City’, a real what the fuck attempt at redefinition.

Is the correct translation that there is no ONE French culture or that there is no French culture, period?

True, otherwise it would be "Il n'y a pas de culture française", not "il n'y a pas une culture française".

R6 Both arrive at the same conclusion. That Louis Catorze, Versaille, Balzac, Zola, de Maupassant, Matisse, Monet, Manet etc. etc. etc. are exclusive, no longer appropriate and must be dismissed so as not to offend or exclude other cultures.

R8 WTF?????? No one says they must be dismissed.
They're a huge part of french culture but french culture doesn't stop with them.

[quote]a real what the fuck attempt at redefinition.
That is what it is, it's brainwashing. They want you forget culture, the history of that culture, how that culture informs a nation, national sovereignty, culture and the arts.
Trudeau said something similar: "There is no core identity, no mainstream in Canada,” Trudeau said, concluding that he sees Canada as “the first post-national state.”
It is traitorous and should be recognized as such. And here is a picture he put on his mother's day tweet (it's his mother and his wife) - seems to be recognizing an identity there...

French culture, though, would by definition perforce include people who speak French. Who embrace French traditions (by which I don't mean religion, as even the native French have abandoned that), French ways of education, celebrations, cultural history.
France has been influenced not only by the Enlightenment but also by its years of colonization; thus, France is already a diversified society (mmmmm....couscous!).
But France is right to push back at those who wish to dominate, impose, change, and destroy what is.

There may be some conservatives who believe in French culture, but there is are anti-gay power blocs that are being catered to with the no French culture remark - the globalists who want to destroy national sovereignty, and Islamists who want to promote Islam above everything else and have no interest in French or Western culture.

"Globalists" are not anti-gay or anti french culture.
Those who are anti-gay are the right wing, the FN and the religious ones (christians, jewish and muslims).
Those are people who don't vote Macron anyway.

Uh, no. In England, France, Germany, Belgium, Muslims typically vote "Left" because it promotes the Muslim agenda. Macron has aptly illustrated that in his statement.

Muslims are more likely not going to vote, than to vote for the left.

Trudeau and Macron do not mean the same thing. Macron means France is a diverse land of many cultures, which isn't strictly true as France was the first modern nation-state that really went in for cultural standardization at the center. In olden times, this would have been seen as essentially a populist, anti-Paris statement. The fact that it is being treated as though it were an endorsement of Muslim culture shows how inside-out things are in France right now.
Trudeau meant Canadians never saw themselves as Canadians, but as Quebecois, Acadians, British, etc. But Canada has been trying to impose a national identity through education for a couple generations now, and by default of something stronger it has become attached in the popular mind to "We're not like the USA." Since the USA is very obnoxious about its nationalism, this paradoxically means that to be a nationalist populist Canadian one has to insist one is not a nationalist! Odds bodkins! But it is not as artificial a statement as Macron's because the ambitious in Canada were never really convinced of Canadian difference as the French were. Yet in truth everyone from across the pond sees immediately that Canadians are North American to the core, but for some reason they won't admit to it, and everyone south of the border sees them as Uncle Fuckers!

You see it was part of the myth of Empire, and why British allowed half of Jamaica to come to their isle. The myth of the French empire was that having ruled it since 1830 Algeria was an integral part of France. So when they had to get out, the door was left open not just for the whites (who by then were mostly Spanish and Italian since French people never had a burning desire to live in Africa) but for blacks also even though the French administration of Algeria had been profoundly racist.

But, r24, same-sex marriage was in Hollande's manifesto, so Muslims would have known he was going to pass it.
In any case, it,was the monoculture French Catholics who most fervently campaigned against same-sex marriage.
Muslim-hater Le Pen has now apparently said she will abolish same-sex marriage.

They say that french culture is diverse, not that french culture doesn't exist or that the great french authors, painters and musicians are not hugely important. They just say that french culture was and still is influenced by other cultures.
How weak and insecure you must be to believe someone can erase more than 2000 years of culture and history?
