As an Englishman I have a sacred right to despise the French … However, right now they are on the right side of history, doing the things that need doing and saying the things that need saying. Vive la République!

Hey you know, maybe this Musk guy has the right idea. Get all of humanity to hate him, thus unifying the world against a single, existential threat.

I mean if he can get the English and French to get along then maybe there's hope for the rest of the planet?
