And here are the suburban landscapes in a state of revolution, attacks on police, and subway trains teeming with people of all backgrounds. The video suggests that without immigrants, France will return to that golden age that seems to remain the only age Desirable horizon for Zemmour: the fifties when women were their place and men certainly did not think about shaving as described in the book The first sex.
