> France has always been a bunch of people living in the same area. This. Saying "France is not France anymore" is a typical MAGA (or FFGE) move. You have your own idea of what the country is, based on your narrow experience of it, and you see it moving from this view, so you think that the whole country is not the same anymore. But every country changes, the World changes. So no matter when you are or where you are, a country is always "not the same anymore". And if you liked what it was sometimes and don't like what it currently is, yeah, maybe it was "better" before. But some other people find it better now. And other even thought it was better at a time before you found it great. So saying a country is not as good as it was is just being an old man yelling at clouds.
