      In your defense, my (french) mother made pretty much exactly the same joke when she saw this clip on bluesky - something about going back to their paddock like the stereotypical vichy pigs they are.

          She was a bit… unclear on the whole concept of children, really. I think I’m the only kid to have been dropped off for their first day of school with the number for Amnesty International written on their arm. But I can say with certainty that among her many eccentricities, “even the slightest tolerance for fascists” has and will never be included.

        There’s the difference, like our maga red hats are a loud insane minority. Otherwise, we literally wouldn’t exist as a nation without the French providing gold and ships just to give England a “fuck you,” and they have been winning wars since before America was a country.

          Honestly think the French hate was/is a psychops.

          If you was rich and in power and wanted to maintain control would you really want your people to like the country that is known for killing the rich and powerful?
