>But of all evil results due to the last contest with France, the most deplorable, perhaps, is that widespread and even universal error of public opinion and of all who think publicly, that German culture was also victorious in the struggle, and that it should now, therefore, be decked with garlands, as a fit recognition of such extraordinary events and successes
> Everywhere, where knowledge and not ability, where information and not art, hold the first rank,—everywhere, therefore, where life bears testimony to the kind of culture extant, there is now only one specific German culture—and this is the culture that is supposed to have conquered France?
>Culture is, before all things, the unity of artistic style, in every expression of the life of a people...
>the very opposite of culture— barbarity: that is to say, with a complete lack of style, or with a riotous jumble of all styles.
> The German heaps up around him the forms, colours, products, and curiosities of all ages and zones, and thereby succeeds in producing that garish newness, as of a country fair, which his scholars then proceed to contemplate and to define as "Modernism per se"; and there he remains, squatting peacefully, in the midst of this conflict of styles. But with this kind of culture, which is, at bottom, nothing more nor less than a phlegmatic insensibility to real culture, men cannot vanquish an enemy, least of all an enemy like the French, who, whatever their worth may be, do actually possess a genuine and productive culture, and whom, up to the present, we have systematically copied, though in the majority of cases without skill.

NTA but he is talking about the culture not the actual physical population. France today still has laïcité as a main staple of its culture, i.e. French identity above all the rest.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how long that withstands globalhomo from the anglo-germanic world

Lol, this is one of the few times Neetzche was right tho, up until the last century both Germany and England were downstream culturally from France.
Le eternal Anglo is truly going into overdrive lately what with Prey and The Woman Kang trying (and succeeding) to raising divisions within white people and playing on the anglo's eternal envy of the French.

He described a general principle of how clashes between cultures produces value but you can't extract from that forever. He would probably agree with the common sentiment that too much African immigration largely exhausted the French now. Not that the French can blame anyone else for that since they weren't having babies.
