Pascal Bruckner, or the arrogance of a nostalgic colonies who treats the Algerians of “deceveled”

ByMuhammad

Pascal Bruckner, far -right writer and self -proclaimed philosopher, continues to distill his gall in the French media. This failed writer, known essentially by readers of the Figaro In search of identity chills, owes its visibility not to its talent-non-existent-but to a well-oiled network of ideological connivance, politico-media copinages, and a certain flair for racist provocation wrapped in a pseudo-intellectual varnish. It does not shine neither by rigor nor by subtlety, but by his senile obstinacy to recycle the most moldy neocolonial clichés

Latest infamy: he dares to qualify a whole people as “Derveled”. Yes, according to Pascal Bruckner, “The Algerian people are a deceased people”unable to speak correctly neither French, nor Arabic, nor English, and reduces to receive an exclusively religious teaching, delivered to imams. A declaration of abyssal contempt, formulated with the usual morgue of nostalgic for French Algeria. Behind this contemptuous logorrhea, Bruckner delivers yet another variation on his favorite theme: the barely veiled regret of the end of colonialism. According to him, the Algerians should almost thank France for colonized and civilized them. This speech that his friends Zemmour and Finkielkraut would not deny, is less than a reflection than a nostalgic preaching for the lost colonial order – tea room version.

Zealous support of the war criminal Benyamin Netanyahu, a tireless lawyer for the powerful against the oppressed, Bruckner embodies this Parisian pseudo-elevation curled up in his imperial certainties. A caste that strangles the idea that the colonized peoples can free themselves, think for themselves, and above all no longer reverence to the old metropolis. This rancid contempt for Algeria says infinitely less about the state of southern countries than on the moral sinking of a certain French intelligentsia in a freewheel, agripted to its colonial delusions as with a buoy of ideological rescue.
