    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.
