In 2008, Lawrence Auster wrote the following about re-invigorating French identity through language and culture in order to "save French":
"[We want to save] French by elevating it. Meaning improve the quality of French among the French people.The French language is not going to be saved from obscurity by competing with English to become the language of hip hop culture and pop culture, stale business dealings, political correctness, the liberals, globalists, Islamist extremist threats, immigrants, consumer culture and MTV. In fact, it can save itself by not becoming all of these things and instead pairing itself with a fresh, meaningful, sophisticated counterculture that is preferable to the mass culture that mainstream English is now inextricably linked to.
Teach great literature. Instill a love of France and French culture, so that the French have something worth talking about again...thus re-invigorating French identity. Dismantle the entire EU-wide liberal, egalitarian, and Eurabian agenda and consciousness which has killed the mind, and turned language into a PC tool instead of a tool to communicate truth. Let's focus schools on 17th century French literature with its clarté. Make clarté, love of truth, love of France, love of the historic West, and, even better, belief in Christianity [...] the center of French culture...
Once the French nation and culture and its Western identity have been saved and revived, and once the French used by the French people has been improved and purified, then start to make French attractive again to other Westerners. Forget about trying to make it attractive to Third Worlders, accept the fact that France cannot have an empire again, that trying to have a Muslim empire only Islamizes France. French can still be saved, because the greatness and beauty of French can still have a great appeal..."
