So as usual the level of irony and hypocrisy is difficult to grasp.
Here this one using Memri TV meme to do dunk on the French.
For those who don’t know MEMRI TV is Israeli propaganda that’s made to paint the Arab world in a negative picture.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East_Media_Research_Institute
Critics describe MEMRI as a strongly pro-Israel advocacy group that, in spite of describing itself as being “independent” and “non-partisan” in nature,[5][6][7] aims to portray the Arab world and the Muslim world in a negative light by producing and disseminating incomplete or inaccurate translations of the original versions of the media reports that it re-publishes.[8][9] It has also been accused of selectively focusing on the views of Islamic extremists while de-emphasizing or ignoring mainstream opinions.[10]
So the only based Arab TV? Interesting.
In their defense, Memri TV screenshots are fucking hilarious and I will not pretend they are not.
People just don’t realize just how hard we, the French, get off on you being mad at us.
Genuinely nothing more enjoyable in my life than a bunch of people going stark raving mad over us existing.
Well then you will be glad to know that I, despite totally despising your language, are forced to learn it anyway cause now I’m living in a french speaking city…
Sheep fucking is a waste of time too, should we tell him?
What do you mean by this?
Racism
We may never know
Why do the tankies dislike France?
Well, y’know… broadly gestures at centuries of imperialism
Self counterpoint : Jean Jaurès was one of the most based leftists to ever live. But he was probably not authoritarian enough for them
A French Lemmy instance hurt their feelings.
OK but who likes France?
Not french people, that’s for sure
My guess would be that as France tried to recover from WWII they stubbornly tried to claw back their imperial holdings, basically starting the Vietnam War and probably some other more minor conflicts that I’m not remembering right now.
Not that you should expect good faith reasoning from .mlgrad.
They’re one of the west. Their activation is as simple as that.
