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.
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?
The “Napoleon is angry because he’s so short” smear campaign from the English is still working to this day, why not use a move already proven to be effective?

Honestly think the French hate was/is a psychops.
