Americans are deeply neurotic and at our core we envy the French for their love of protesting and rioting.

Shouldn't you guys be best friends I'm reminded of the Patriot, where the one French dude is treated as kind of a useless fop, even though they can't completely cut out the French contribution. Theres also the bit at the end where he comes out in full ceremonial uniform "if I am going to die, at least I will die well dressed" and i think it was meant to be making fun of him, but really it just made him look like a badass.

Americans hate the french because in public school the only thing they are taught about France is that they surrendered during world war 2. Also there is an episode of the Simpsons where the school janitor calls them "cheese eating surrender monkeys" and for some reason this line really resonates with Americans. I still hear chud people who never watched the Simpsons call them that to this day.

The extent of formal education I received about France in the US: 5th grade: They showed up sometimes to help in the American revolution I guess and then we bought a bunch of land from them? 10th grade world history: they sure got beat up by the Germans twice in a row

Irradiation posted:The extent of formal education I received about France in the US: Yeah they show up briefly during American History to sell a bunch of land to the US because big stupid Napoleon spent all the money on dumb poo poo like taking over europe and needed the cash, and maybe a little mention of "oh and they were cool during the revolution because they antagonized the British", and then during the second half of world history for the world wars. Also they show up a bunch during the earlier part of world history but I guarantee no highschool student in America makes the connection between e.g. that whole Charlemagne thing and modern France and just thinks Charlemagne was a thing that happened in another dimension with no connection to modern countries, because that sure as hell is how it's framed in the history books. [A bunch of history happened somewhere who cares] -> [America exists] -> [every modern country suddenly pops into existence to colonize and later help or hurt America]

Poor France. They had like a thousand years of fearsome military reputation. Then they get soft and capitulate early in just ONE WAR and ever since they've been denigrated as surrendering cowards who couldn't win a fight if their life depended on it. Well, in the US at least. No sure about internationally. We aren't good at history.

There's a cascade of "germans getting stupid lucky" combined with "france is ultra conservative and makes decisions that are perhaps unwise in the face of a war that will radically change warfare" going on in the surrender of france in WWII. Even then the traditional narrative that big poppa pump USA shows up and stomps some nazi rear end is kinda bullshit cuz Zhukov was on his way to Berlin by D-Day and there was fuckall the Nazis could've done to stop him.

idk it's some weird trope that the Americans have invented that the French are cowards who run away at the first sign of trouble. I mean yeah they had some idiot rear end generals who did idiot things like refuse Allied bomber support or waiting until the next morning to launch a counterattack on the German bridgehead across the Meuse when they had the men/equipment to do it the night before when the Germans were still crossing - but the French soldiers still fought hard.

Yeah there's something to this though. The French just got attention because of Iraq but we kind of hate everyone. See our constant poo poo talking of NATO allies and saying we do all the work to protect Europe while they do nothing. That's why I agreed with the first "bc we suck rear end"

What are you protecting Europe from exactly Is it from itself? Like in Russia? Because I'm pretty sure russia recently gobbled up a piece of the Ukraine and America just let it happen Then you hosed up the entire middle east to a really impressive degree and flooded europe with refugees
