Anyone speak French who can help with a little translation?

I'm watching some YouTube videos in French to tray and improve and can't understand one of the comments below the video, it says:

"Ce que les anglais ont à se reprocher est sans effet sur la ringuardise à plaventriste des Français devant la langue anglaise..."

I have no idea what "ringuardise a plaventriste" means and nor does Google translate.

Any ideas?

The husband said it looks like Canadian- French

ringardise means tackiness or naffness according to pons.eu, and cheesiness according to google translate

No idea about plaventriste though

highlandcoo · 15/06/2020 10:59

spelling of ringardise is different though

plaventriste means servile in a translation of Dracula

and possibly old-fashioned for ringardise

Literal translation is old fashioned rider of sadness, so we would say old fashioned pessimists.
