France, Of All Places, Concerned With America's 'Out-of-Control Woke Leftism'

You know you've become a nation dominated by liberalism when France starts to worry about you, but that seems to be the case with the United States.

French president Emmanuel Macron is among those concerned. Macron, after all, appeared to side with a group of intellectuals who argued that France is being contaminated by the leftism of the U.S.

"In a speech in October on the 'Fight against Separatism,' Macron warned against leaving 'the intellectual debate to others' as he cautioned of the 'certain social science theories entirely imported from the United States,'" the Daily Mail wrote.

It's gotten so bad that most French politicians and academics are actually arguing against what the Daily Mail calls America's "out-of-control leftism and cancel culture."

So why is France all up in arms about this? Well, per the Daily Mail, scholars and politicians believe American leftism is attacking French heritage and identity.

As an aside, it should be noted that this news came to light before the U.S. woke crowd decided to stamp out legendary French skunk Pepe Le Pew. You can only guess how France feels now. It probably thinks America stinks more than ever.
