Holy fuck right? I was told a couple years ago by my father that they sold our countryside house and land in Italy. When going on a road trip we decided to pass by it to see what happened. It's completely rotten and destroyed; the vineyard was dead, the stables had fallen in on itself, the gate was so rusted I bet termites ate through it. It was one of the most shocking and saddening things I've seen.

My family sold they'r house 20 and some years ago, i got to see the place once and there was barely anything, a couple of bricks and an wall without anything surrounding it. We walked around a while and found the place where they gave baths to the cows and also found the pan that they used back then, it was quite nice.
@@giansviktor9764 Modern parenting is quite a sad reality. Kids by themselves aren't "evil" but they also don't know any better, and a lot of parents these days just ignore them. Ideally we need to get them thinking and instilling good morals into them before they reach the point where they can't more easily be helped. I tell you even if I sound like a broken record, I'd be determined not to be a screw-up parent like these people. Life is too precious to throw away so callously in my eyes.
@Lasagna Kob A sad and yet a depressing truth. "Every child deserves a parent... but not every parents deserves a child" - (I don't know who created this quote)
It was common then, it stopped in the late sixties. Today most young Québec women have a few kids by different fathers of different backgrounds, no mariage. That song represents my nephews to a T. My brother got my father's money, and his kids live in someone's basement.
This hits close to home. My ancestors owned the same farm in my favorite part of Finland for 400 years until my grandparents sold it and moved to the city.
Holding up for my dear life to prevent my mother of selling all her part of Grandpa's farm, it hits too close to home Also wouldn't you know it, she is a public servant...
My dad refused to inherit the vineyard because he prefered joining the army rather than becoming a peasant, spent whole childhood moving from places to places far from the family village because of this decision
This hit home very unexpectedly, my great grandfather, brought up huge amounts of land, my grandfather, despite being ravaged by war and illnesses, never sold out his property, and my father, moved to the city and became a civil servant, now I;'m here in my bedroom with no clear vision of the future.
For me, it was my grandparents who moved to the city. Grandpop was a driver, Grandma was a tailor. Despite that, they managed to scrap enough to buy some cheap lands here in the city, and a few more years later, they were refashioned into rental houses. The rent we receive is the only thing that kept us afloat in this near-recession. I couldn't fathom having that amount of patience.
Well for me it was my grandma on my father's side she moved to the city and my grandpa married her but me grandparents on my mum's side were in the city their whole lives
@@germansteven719 Well considering 90% of Germany was rural at some point your mom's grandparents were probably once from outside the city, unless they were Hansa traders or smthn
I'm fighting the fight of my life against my own civil servant mom for grandpa's land, and I'll be damned if I don't keep it. My own livestock to pasture there is due to arrive in July, and there is the possibility I'll get a tractor soon. She will have to uproot me like an oak if she intends to get me out, I made a promise to grandma, that I would keep that property with my own life, and kowabunga it is that I will

There's some truth to this, but it leaves out some very important things. For example: How many of your children, born alive, have you had to bury? For a woman with "quatorze enfants" (assuming this is the number of live births, not children who survived - the latter assumption would make this even higher), born across the middle part of 19th century, the average answer -- *average*, not uncommonly bad -- would be 4 to 5.

You lost all your culture and your “country”. This song pumps me up i dont know how it doesn’t mobilize you french men against the corruption in this province.
This song isn't just a normal reactionary song, about how modernity sucks, and how the past was better. It's about legacy and generational prosperity. The point isn't land, it's about how your ancestors have worked for generations to build and improve something, before giving it to their children. Then a callous generation (the parents), sold off that legacy to live well in their own lifetime, leaving nothing for their children. Choosing not to have kids to have more fun, leaving behind nothing for society or their family. The song is about being brave enough to take the first step your ancestors took so long ago to build a real legacy, something worth leaving behind, and not being shortsighted like the previous generation, and leave nothing for the future.
@@supereero9 Actually, the song was written by the French singer-songwriter, Mylène Farmer, in 2008, so your quite wrong to be honest.

Mes chers Québécois, n'oubliez jamais cela si vous ne le saviez pas. -Le terme « Canadien » faisait à l'origine référence à un Québécois ou à un francophone du Canada, mais les anglos l'ont approprié culturellement. Eux-mêmes avant se qualifient comme Anglais ou britannique. -L'hymne national du Canada était à propos nous, écrite en français par le Québécois Adolphe-Basile Routhier mais ils l'ont approprié et traduit en anglais. -La Poutine, l’un de leurs derniers vols culturels, qui est maintenant le "Plat National Canadien" -La feuille d’érable en tant que symbole national, représentaient les Québécois et les franco-canadiens, mais ils l'ont aussi approprié. et bien plus.. La vérité c'est que les loyalistes anglais du Canuck n’ont jamais eu de véritable culture puisque c’était tout le résidu laissé par l’Angleterre. Alors ils ont tous volé aux Québécois. Nous avons nos propres lois, notre système d'éducation, nos pensions de retraite, notre système de santé, notre politique, etc. La seule chose que nous ne contrôlons pas est l'immigration, qui est la plus importante. Nous sommes le pays le moins officiel au monde, sans bénéficier des privilèges, des avantages et de la reconnaissance d’un véritable pays. L'avenir du Québec, c'est la souveraineté absolue. J'espère qu'il ne sera pas trop tard avant que la majorité ne s'en rende compte. Le sort du Québec ressemble à la métaphore de la grenouille bouillante. Aucune nation au monde n'a jamais regretté son indépendance et pourtant pour les Québécois, ce serait mal ? C'est ridicule! Vive le Québec souverain ⚜

Your family probably moved in the era people were going to the cities to find work especially in factories. Many French Canadians went to the US and never came back, good money.

My parents, aunts and uncles got rid of all but one of the properties my great-grandfather owned, and most of the money they got from that is gone already gone, mostly into expensive trips abroad that I never got to enjoy, on my father's side that vacation home is gone; demolished and turned into a part of some shopping center and the main home is going to get passed to all of my aunts and uncles, as well as my father, they'll probably sell it.

First verse reminds me of my family. My ancestors were nobles. In RSFSR after the revolution our property were nationalized, but gladly no one were repressed, because my grand-grandfather was a captain in Red Army and was fighting for Soviets during Civil War.

The neoliberals want the least resistance and the most consumerism, so they wish to annihilate all identity, but especially that which resists mass movement of unprotected coloured slaves. The lefties hate whites on principle, so mass migration and making whites suffer is a point of honour for them. See e.g. Piketty's "merchant right and brahmin left" thesis. The upshot will be that the neolibs will import the slaves until they grow uncontrollable, then the slaves will put the heel on everyone's neck under leftie leadership. Perhaps the remedy could be self-interested politicians who want to get elected and who wouldn't control mass movements too much. E.g., to take Quebec, if neoliberalism succeeds, the French will be crushed and CAQ will be out of power. Neoliberalism can also be more tolerable if the lefties were weaker. Then we could have the same policy as Qatar, UAE, and Saudi Arabia on slave labour without manumission, so to say.

Depends what you're looking at. For exemple, it's under the British rule that Quebec got things like a printing press and newspaper; it's also thanks to the British that we got the right to vote (women had that right too, until republican and then french ideas removed their right to vote), and Montreal became a «modern» city (with running water and electrical power) before Paris.
As a Quebecois This song hits on what was the struggle in early 20th century but also I listened to this song when I was 8 years old and didn’t know what most of the words were bc my french vocabulary hasn’t expended yet but now I understand what this song is talking about
@@thegoldeninventor4634 what part of this song actually says that though, it talks about how life turned from having pride in being a family to not being able to have a family due to the amount of distrust and cheating that happens in relationships now.
@@thegoldeninventor4634 that obviously happens, as birth is a natural goal, and waking up/realizing that all the trophies or fame or whatever you've gained is pointless due to not having anyone to share them with. You probably won't see the same as me or some others but you can't deny having children should be a goal and something to be proud of, unlike Abortion.
This is the best pro-tradition song ever. It should be an inspiring message to all Millennials and Generation Z in not just Quebec or the Western world, but the entire world. The message of "Degeneration" is that any ethnic group (in this case, French Canadians/Quebecois) must preserve their culture and traditions to the fullest, and for them to be passed down to young people so that said traditions such as traditional music and dance do not die. The song also gives the message of exploring the outdoors, which is the natural human environment. "For your grandparents, it was pop music. For your parents it was disco" "So turn off your TV, you shouldn't stay inside".
What I like the most is that the song isn't that much of a rousing speech. It doesn't generate feelings of discontent, frustration, or anger. Instead, it's a longing. A desire for a much simpler, secure, and wholesome time. And how that desire would never change, no matter the generation. This need to go "off the grid", this need for family, for property, and for liberty, it's not gonna change.
First I liked the song. Then I started to understand the lyrics. Now the song has motivated me to go out, work hard, improve my social life and become successful.
