France didn't ruin nothing. Everything we do or write works for us since we're not utilitarian anglos, or soulless germans, or emasculated swedes. And yes I'm serious. Iran and France have the most advanced cultures in the world.

Rest of the world is exactly like the manichean depictions of holywood. Only people I've met capable of subtlety and perspectivism were french and iranian.

Americans angry that 'pomo ruined everything' and that 'french philosopher are gay' need to take a good look at their fucking wasteland of a culture. How come everyone in france gives zero fucks about 20th wave retarded feminism, even though feminism actually comes from here? How come france has the second highest gun ownership rate in the world with very low crime?

You conveniently left out: without anyone knowing.

How many barber shops in the world? How many different customers a day? How many people paroling to know for certain where each hair follicle on the floor goes? That is supremely important, it may be illegal for DNA to be extracted from and uploaded: yet it would be impossible for the law to know if a barbershop has just sold all the hair on their floor to a person looking to do that, and no one would ever trace it, or anything.

>Maybe in Murica
Likely in all hospitals, and kids when they get their check ups as youth give blood.

But anyway, say a dad unsure if his wifes kid is his, plucks the kids hair, gives it to, the DNA-into-data service, and upload it onto a computer to see if it matches the father or not.

>Can't look up who France's most famous XX century writers were
No one is talking about the 20th century as a whole. We're talking about contemporary culture, and apparently I'm talking to mental children.

>We cannot afford to let the working class die,
I work in insurance, I am very healthy and spend most of my life just relaxing in a comfy chair in air conditioning, I likely will never use public health insurance, so why should a small amount of tax from millions of people just like me pay for some sweaty pig who breaths in asbestos or drops a steel beam on his foot. Shouldnt his health be his companies concern, workmans comp? Dont most companies take care of their employees health insurance?

Only if you're an idiot. By definition publicly taxed welfare limits your capacity to direct your own finances to deal with your own medical situations. Eurocucks don't realize it but their family members are dying when they could have payed for a better doctor

“In a traditional German toilet, the hole into which shit disappears after we flush is right at the front, so that shit is first laid out for us to sniff and inspect for traces of illness. In the typical French toilet, on the contrary, the hole is at the back, i.e. shit is supposed to disappear as quickly as possible. Finally, the American (Anglo-Saxon) toilet presents a synthesis, a mediation between these opposites: the toilet basin is full of water, so that the shit floats in it, visible, but not to be inspected. [...] It is clear that none of these versions can be accounted for in purely utilitarian terms: each involves a certain ideological perception of how the subject should relate to excrement. Hegel was among the first to see in the geographical triad of Germany, France and England an expression of three different existential attitudes: reflective thoroughness (German), revolutionary hastiness (French), utilitarian pragmatism (English). In political terms, this triad can be read as German conservatism, French revolutionary radicalism and English liberalism. [...] The point about toilets is that they enable us not only to discern this triad in the most intimate domain, but also to identify its underlying mechanism in the three different attitudes towards excremental excess: an ambiguous contemplative fascination; a wish to get rid of it as fast as possible; a pragmatic decision to treat it as ordinary and dispose of it in an appropriate way. It is easy for an academic at a round table to claim that we live in a post-ideological universe, but the moment he visits the lavatory after the heated discussion, he is again knee-deep in ideology.”

Idiot if you have been paying high taxes to support a public system then unless you're highly wealthy you're not going to have the income justified to look into your own medical freedom. You're stuck with Doctor Rajputa Mustaffa just like Jamel down the road on welfare.
Meanwhile its an objective fact that all the best European doctors move to the US

My workplace takes ~ 25 bucks out of each paycheck to pay for benefits. I'd much rather pay a few bucks in taxes than deal with this highway robbery + be shit out of luck if I ever decided to leave my job / got an injury that stopped me from doing it.
