    I’ve not heard of CanDeath Omens since the Herman Cain subreddit.
    I think she was the one telling everyone not to take the vaccine…but was selling ivermectin for an exorbitant amount. Truly a ghoul.

      As a French speaker, I never understood what those “hon” used when imitating a French person are supposed to represent.

        It’s more directed at the French than French-speakers. It’s supposed to be making fun of the (exaggerated) way that French people laugh in movies and shows. It has a nasal component to it.

        I’ve been to French Canada and France and I can confirm nobody actually laughs like that. It’s just another dumb way people shit on France.

          I live next to French Canada. I can confirm that a not-insignificant number of Quebecois laugh like that

          Yea I’m aware it’s directed at French people. I’m not French but I have interacted with a lot of French people and I’ve never heard a laugh that comes close to that.

              Yes, and thank you for your answer.

              I have been to France.

              It’s only an impression. I’m not complaining and I was interested in knowing what those “hon” are supposed to represent. I didn’t really expect an answer but I’m thankful for all the answers.

        It’s supposed to be the sound French people make when they laugh, despite none of the french people I know sounding anything like that.

        I think it’s part of this weird cultural stereotyping the internet does where someone posts a funny meme with an inaccurate stereotype in it, then a legion of mouth breathers re-post the same meme whenever the nationality in question comes up, then due to repetition people who have never met that nationality thinks its real.

        People stopped doing the fake “Ching Chong” false Chinese accent bit ages ago (thank god) but I guess France and the French are still valid targets.

          This predates the internet by several decades into the first half of the 20th century.

          It’s supposed to be a French mocking/pretentious/overconfident laugh. Imagine a dude wearing a beret eating a croissant and smoking a cigarette out of one of those long cigarette holder thingies from the '60s.

          Imagine Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast. In fact, im pretty sure he does it a few times in the movie. I think even The Pink Panther (jacques clouseau) does it in the original movies.

        It’s just a silly, unfunny joke.

        Much like how people joke about Australia being upside down.

      I’m generally staunchly against leveraging such things as attack vectors, but in this case, knowing her psychology and politics: have at her. Seriously. Drag her through the”mud” and “malign” her as trans. Serves her fucking right if she gets eaten alive by the maga base.

    Candace Owens is unironically a lesser evil than Mr. Macron (and no, just because I hate a ‘Manchurian candidate’ handpicked banker doesn’t mean I prefer the literal Nazis of the FN, lol). That whole “Macron’s wife is a dude” is such a weird narrative though, one that I assume gets pushed on purpose to ignore the truly concerning part: Mme. Macron straight up groomed her underaged student…

      Isn’t Macron more of a symptom than the disease? Imo he seems to catch a lot of the - very justified - dissatisfaction and hatred that’s actually meant for the establishment He’s more of a show pig that we get to blame rather than truly evil

        I guess any corrupt figurehead is more of a symptom than the disease, you’re right, lol. Still a paid agent and not there for the people but that’s nothing new.

            They’re all in the same place, all of them who take big corpo money, just actors, wrestling heels. But they’re still playing the villain part when they could do otherwise (they just wouldn’t have risen in power, I guess).

          “These outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions included that Mrs Macron was born a man, stole another person’s identity, and transitioned to become Brigitte; Mrs Macron and President Macron are blood relatives committing incest; President Macron was chosen to be the President of France as part of the CIA-operated MKUltra program or a similar mind-control program; and Mrs Macron and President Macron are committing forgery, fraud, and abuses of power to conceal these secrets."

          I’ve read through this thread and you seem pretty amicable and able to recognize your mistakes.

            Well, the people answering had valid points and good reason to be upset.

            Folk around these corners of the internet seem to generally have good intentions and I didn’t want to be disruptive. I appreciate you taking the time to look at the full picture and remain compassionate.

            I’d love to tell you there was a bigger plan, but the truth is I just wanted some attention, attempted to be funny without going through the content to a responsible degree and made a cheap thoughtless jab.

            I make my mistakes but always try to admit them, despite sometimes begrudgingly.

            Once again, thank you for ykur kindness.
