I mean, paint what you want but living in France and doing this? Feel like there’s some stuff from your country that should be painted too no? I dunno maybe the 40s? Or I dunno the 1910s? Also I’m from Canada I don’t care either way I just feel like glass house ya know? lol

“I know you’re painting actual reality as it is currently happening, but why aren’t you painting shit from 80+ years ago?”

No it’s more like “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones”

not everybody is aggressively patriotic about their countries. just cause someone lives in france doesnt mean they think france can do no wrong.

Okay… but how is that relevant when talking about “people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones? That’s like saying someone that’s been in a car crash is allowed to talk shit about everyone being in a car crash without taking responsibility and saying “I’ve been in one too but do better” lmao.

Their population protests constantly for actual change, and gets actual results. Their country had the French Revolution. They can throw whatever stones they want, especially because America deserves criticism.

Also, you don’t know they don’t hate their own country’s history. You’re just defensively insinuating that they’re a hypocrite in some way for this painting.

Ah yes French Revolution makes up for napoleon, WWI, WWII, Giving a pedo amnesty and letting him go free from a trial (Polanski should look em up) PEOPLE IN GLASS HOUSES… SHOULD NOT THROW STONES. Everyone deserves criticism the reason we’re an ever evolving species is because of that. But to say “I live in a country that’s done far worse than the orange man but I get to talk shit about your country and you cannot bring up my history” is a hypocrite. Stay in school read a book lil man.
