In trying to find out (on Quora) whether Zemmour is a religiously practicing Jєω (his Jєωιѕн ancestry is simply a fact), or a convert to Catholicism, I stumbled across this, and please pardon the mild profanity, but it was too good to leave unshared:
I'm not one given to profanity, but I thought this needed to be shared as it stood, and Matthew, if this needs to be deleted, feel free to, I am just going with the fact that the s-bomb falls now and then on this forum, and nobody seems to be scandalized by it.
French political and intellectual life (the two are mushed together as a practical matter) is messy beyond description, there is a level of discourse there, and different groups pulling in every direction you can imagine (and then some), that would be unimaginable in the binary system we have in the US.
