And I think there's this overall sense that people feel like we're losing control over their own lives, over the lives, the future of their country, their children.
It's very strange, dark moment, I think.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, if you feel like, like, you know, I was, I was in France.
I have a kind of a long love affair with France.
I'm sorry to say that.
Yeah.
I love England.
Yeah.
I lived there and I studied the language and all that.
But I remember I was there about 12 years ago and I was going through Paris and I'm actually somebody who's very open to immigrants and to their plight, but I was thinking,
France is in trouble because they're losing a sense of their identity.
And a country like that has a very, very powerful sense of identity because it's a country that's actually a feudalism that's kind of disguised as a nation.
And people like de Gaulle had to struggle to create this kind of national unity around Joan of Arc and around these various myths and Louis XIV and...
on and on, Napoleon, etc.
Very powerful myths of identity, of this is who the French are.
And I could sense that there was something very dangerous going on because they were going to lose that sense of who they were with all of the immigrants that were pouring in at this time.
I can empathize with that to a point where, you know, you have this sense of what your country is and you're losing that, right?
So it creates an opening for some ugly kind of politics, I'm afraid.
Yeah.
