@aral I also follow French politics because what happens in France has a very big influence in Quebec and around the world (being yet another nation that colonized much of the world). This is also true of England. The US isn't the only imperialist force out there, even if it's been pretty dominant for a while. It's not great living at the nexus of American and French fascism and trying to get people to understand how they interconnect and feed into each other.
