minus-squareVaryk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoSo weird and historically inaccurate, reminds me of the dumbass freedom fries thing. Is the French-surrender meme referring specifically to losing the battle against the Nazis so quickly?
minus-squareKabe@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·1 year agoYes, and it’s a stupid meme anyway. France is one of the most successful military powers in Europe, historically, plus their capitulation to the Nazis was understandable given how badly the country had been decimated by World War I.
