John Oliver opened this week’s Last Week Tonight with a profanity-filled message for these behind the Paris attacks.

Oliver then explains that, despite the attacks, France will endure.

“If you are in a war of culture and lifestyle with France, good fucking luck,” he says. “Go ahead, bring your bankrupt ideology. They’ll bring Jean-Paul Sartre, Édith Piaf, fine wine, Gauloise cigarettes, Camus, camembert, madeleines, macarons… and the fucking croquembouche.”
