Why do Romance-speaking countries inject location names with cults of personality? Every state of Mexico probably has at least one town named Miguel Hidalgo and Emiliano Zapata etc. Who the fuck came up with this?
You mean like how probably every state in the US has a town name Columbus or Washington?

Your entire set of founding fathers is made of anarchist rebels
I don't know, French is a Germanic language.
Fells good being Germanic.
Hell, Clovis would be proud.

What is wrong with using our historical figures to name our towns/streets/etc.
Do you want to usenumbers or what?

Maybe you just don´t emphasize the revolutionary sentiments as much, in Mexico we've had like 3 or 4 revolutions.
>The independece war
>When we overthrew the habsburg emperor.
>1920 revolution
Maybe 4 if you consider the fact that habsburgs came to power because France overthrew the republic

Calle reforma is the cringiest street name out there.
>>59767563
Disgusting
>>59767606
Because you have the same exact street names in every single town and name all of your towns after them.
>>59767707
It sure is

I can relate to that; here, almost every fucking park, hospital, school, street and shop is called Nestor Kirchner, I think it's in order to commemorate the person in question, although there is nothing wrong with this, people often complain about this because they don't feel represented by that person.

Kind of like all the shit here called John F Kennedy
