My best friend recently came out as francais. Well, he used to be my best friend.
Now we’re just amis sharing the ménage of trois.
Did you never notice it when he kissed you?
It used to just be on the lips, but now it’s on both cheeks. It makes me uncomfortable.
More than friends, less than lovers?
That’s disgusting! He’s FRENCH!
Nah, fuck the fr*nch
The French get a bad rep, they riot for anti-worker bullshit, they helped the US win the revolution,and they didn’t go along with dubya’s stupid Iraq war
I’ve never been impressed with my fellow Americans who talk shit on the French. We have mostly let go of our revolutionary spirit, and they never did. We would do well to pick up where we left off at Blair mountain.
Well said.
The current bad reputation of the French is mostly because of WW2. They surrendered after only 6 weeks of fighting and then heavily collaborated with the Nazis. French collaboration was so heartfelt that they refused to hand over their navy to the British when requested to do so. They even fired on American ships and troops in North Africa when the Americans arrived to liberate them from German occupation.
The French were also enthusiastic participants in the Final Solution. According to Wikipedia, “the Nazis in France relied to a considerable extent on the co-operation of local authorities to carry out what they called the Final Solution. The government of Vichy France and the French police organized and implemented the roundups of Jews.”
After the war, De Gaulle promoted the narrative that the French heroically resisted the Nazis, but this was not at all true. The famous French Resistance was tiny until the last part of the war, and only grew once it became clear that Germany would lose. The French government also denied their role in the Holocaust for over 50 years until 1995 when Jacques Chirac finally admitted that, “[T]hose black hours soiled our history forever. … [T]he criminal madness of the occupier was assisted by the French people, by the French State. … France, that day, committed the irreparable.”
So, yeah, that’s why people dunk on France, particularly when it comes to military matters. They certainly did not live up to the ideals of the Revolution or the martial prowess of Napoleon.

More relevantly SOME people can be discriminated just based on where they were born, and it is perfectly fine, since they are white and european…
I’d LOVE to. Like Marion Cotillard for example.

Statistically, most people have two eyes
Statistically, the average person has less than two eyes
Both of these statements are statistically correct
mean: <2 eyes
median: 2 eyes

Being french is not a problem in this household.
Being British on the other hand…
As a French I approve this
My condolences
I hate the “new” gay flag :(
Someone you know is a human
Based on your username, it isn’t you.

Esti, hein?
Thankfully I don’t know anyone like that lol
Wait is the gay flag not a rainbow anymore? I can’t keep up. The rainbow was so cool.
Left is lesbian pride flag, right is gay male pride flag. Rainbow is basically the catch all LGBTQ pride flag.
I swear, Zoomers and ever more specific labels…
What? These things have been around long before zoomers.
Down with specificity! We want the confusion that arises from ambiguity! Things were confusing in my day and I will not put up with people being able to understand each other! Harrumph to you good sir! A harrumph and another harrumph for good measure!
In my day everyone was just straight or queer. You could get more descriptive if you want, but no one cared about the particulars of your sexuality unless they were interested in fucking you.
I do not give a fuck about the particulars of anyone’s life. Here’s the thing, if you actually didn’t care you’d not be complaining, now would you? Whenever I see this shit I just give a blank “Ok” and move on about my day because I genuinely don’t care.
I think it’s silly. That’s the extent to which I care. Which is more than zero, enough to post about it, but not much more than zero.
I guess technically I have a vague worry about the general increase in tribalism among gen z but this is a tiny part of that. And probably the most benign aspect.
It’s the spectral emissions lines
I’m okay with all of these except the French
Well, we can still talk, if only they stopped talking about OCaml
NEVER!
