The one thing I will give the French, they don’t take shit. When the French gov tried to raise the retirement age (if I remember correctly) people took to the streets in a big way. It was glorious.
People say all kinds of things yet France remains an incredibly popular holiday destination. It’s mostly tsundere bickering. French people can be arrogant but honestly not nearly as much as the Dutch and they get zero shit for it. And the other stereotypes like being romantic, liking good food or having a knack for arts aren’t actually negative if you think about it. They just get overexaggerated.
Right. They have contributed a lot to culture. A lot of literary, scientific, technological, philosophical and artistic achievements. Idk why people that have only benefited from France by enjoying these achievements, and not at all suffered from it as some have, unfortunately, hate on it.
American culture is a lot more imperialist than French culture. France is not an imperialist power now, unlike the US. In fact, out of the allies of the US, it has been the one that has shown the most opposition to US military interventions in the middle east. Why not hate on America? In any case, I am certain that you know very little about french culture.
It’s also one of the countries that was dumping its waste in Somali waters. France shouldn’t be ignored just because the US eclipses all other imperialisim in the world at the moment.
Does the US currently eclipse all others? I would argue Russia has that crown as they currently are invading Ukraine to steal land and resources, after that it would be theUSA
Why is everyone hating on french people? I do not quite get it.
The French like to pretend the way they do things is the only correct way to do things.

most nations especially the USA could learn a lot about how to maintain a democratic state from France
The secret is spicing it up with an empire every now and then… Oh fuck the Americans are doing exactly that
Like traffic laws.
The way the French traffic laws work, it would literally be safer if it was just a free-for-all.

You say romantic, I say cheating whores.
It’s called polyamory, Frenchies, you can just have an open relationship.
Imperialist cultures are easy to take swings at.

France still holds colonies. You probably should look into that bit before talking about imperialism. France’s longest border is shared with Brazil.

Russia is more overt and aggressive. Historically, the US has a thousand sins that are more subtle.
I can hate both equally, thank you.
You must not be American; we can only do one thing at a time.
Unless it’s just ruining everything; we count that as one thing, even if it’s not.
And we shit on the US as well for it.
Same with Russia and China.
