    This is why the US has gone to so much trouble to discredit the French in popular culture as “cowardly surrender monkeys”, because they are the only western people that has the balls to put necks in guillotines. Allez les gars!

    Meanwhile the truly exceptional US Americans have been collecting weapons for decades, that are used only to murder minorities and children in school, when some orangegutang hijacks the government they send thoughts and prayers or make posts on twitter… The well armed militia stays silent.

      The french haven’t put anyone in guillotines for more than 200 years (not counting prison death sentences), accrediting this behaviour to the current French population is quite the stretch.

        TO’s comment truly is a mélange of victimhood and jingoism that, curiously, is as American as apple pie.

        As if a joke more dated than boomer humour is a concerted psyop to discredit French people in “the marketplace of ideas.” Not to mention the myopic view of America in the second half. Baffling.

        Anyway, hope the bundle helps those devs hold on and push through some positive change.

              America

              The Americas, sometimes collectively called America, are a landmass comprising the totality of North America and South America.

              I mentioned Mexico and Canada because, when interacting with US americans online, the corolary is the knowledge of geography is inversely proportional to the distance to the borders of the U S of A. I was trying not to be ableist.
