This is based on the current "school" riots in France (where the perpetrators seem to be mostly of Arab and African descent) and some of the rhetoric of French (and other right-wing accounts on X etc...). Basically, most personnel of the French military has "enough" of what it sees as the "Islamo-Gauchisme alliance" in France and considers it necessary to stage a "special operation" to "save France" from this alliance, and together with right-wing militants, led by Zemmour, they remove Macron and arrest leftists such as Melenchon and other LFI members, and install Zemmour as president, along with instituting a military-police state with surveillance of all suspected Muslims (meaning basally all Arab-looking people along with most Black people etc.), thus ushering in a new "6th Republic Era" in France.

One thing I've noticed on here is that certain countries seem to attract rather polarised responses from expats living there. For example, let's take the example of Germany (where I am from and currently live again after living in Canada for a long time). It has been my observation that mainly Americans, Canadians and other individuals from the Anglosphere tend to quite often praise living in Germany. On the other hand, I feel like individuals from Eastern and Southern Europe, as well as from Latin America, tend to be much more critical about life in Germany on average than the expats from the Anglosphere. I also noticed a similar trend for most other Northwestern European countries (e.g. the Netherlands, Scandinavian countries etc.). One reason for this could be political - namely, that most expats who move from the Anglopshere to Germany and other NW EU countries tend to be left-leaning, and thus see their move as an expression of their values, while the expats from the Eastern/Southern EU and Latin American countries tend to move for work reasons and are more likely to be right-leaning and thus don't "vibe" very well with the NW European societies' lifestyle and values.

On the other hand, many countries that are considered "developing" (e.g. SE Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe etc.) don't tend to attracts such staring polarised responses, with (Western expats) people seemingly liking them if they move there for the most parts. And even countries like Japan, which do get negative responses from (Western) expats quite often, don't seem to attract the same type of polarised responses as the NW European countries. Maybe because NW European countries are considered to be culturally closer to where most of Reddit Expats are from?

Anyway, that's just been my observation on this Subreddit, and I would be interested in other Redditors' views/opinions on this issue.
