I feel like most Europeans have no issue with the French, it’s an America-thing. Maybe a UK-thing.
Here, take my upvote, and thank you!
– A french.
Is the 2westerneurope4u finally coming to lemmy? 😍
I feel like the incelish greentext format is best way to explain my hatred for the historical France.
> Colonizes random north african country. > Adds "being gay is illegal" to their constitution. > Leaves. > Refuses to elaborate. Wtf was their problem?As a french girl, I hate France too
Maybe that’s why we Germans don’t hate you guys - we’re busy hating our own country as well
Funny how the American one is better in principle, but worse in practise while the European one is worse in principle but (ehhh fine I guess but ugh) in practise
Sorry. We got other things to hate on right now that are worth more hate than the French.
People love to hate the french but I find it pretty unearned.
The French don’t mind, cause they don’t understand any language except French.
Ils le comprennent parfaitement mais ils refusent de le parler.
I don’t want any wine, thanks.
Je mapelle jobbies et je 35 ans. Je habite a Ecosse et je taime Duran Duran et le ping pong.
Je ne veux pas deux cent cinquante grammes d’olives.
the impression I get is that they’re pretending not to understand, but they do, they just don’t give a flying fuck what other people think of them because everyone keeps buying their cheese, wine, and fashion so they’re busy counting money, getting laid, and smoking like chimneys lol
Can confirm, their cheese if fucking awesome
They don’t care to understand.
A shame, they seemed an honest man.
They hate French people in France too, so…
This is an outdated stereotype. I’d be willing to bet more French speak a second language than Americans.
I’ve been in France for two days and have already met 2 young people who didn’t speak more than high school English. Oh and I’m a tourist, so they were working a job where they have to interact with foreigners regularly…
Now of course anecdote isn’t statistics, and my French is certainly no better, but compared to other European countries their English level is… notable.
lol not in absolute numbers terms, no way. The US has 5x the population, and there are tons of immigrants that speak multiple languages. So regardless of how stupid native-born citizens are, there are still many bilingual+ people.
But not than Belgians, Dutch, polish or Germans, which are the most frequent comparisons.
Why would the Dutch/Polish/Germans speak more languages?
I am french
Hating the French is a MI6 psyop to direct hate away from the Bri*ish
We can multitask, mate.
Most Europeans don’t even think about the Bri*ish
That’s why your not invited to the haters ball
Gott strafe England.
Fits
I love Europe. It’s the only place where a bus driver from country A can get into a heated argument with a random guy from country B in two completely different languages. After both have gone on for a bit and not understood a word of what the other one was saying, they have reached a point of agreement, can wish each other a good day and carry on.
First they exchange cigarettes though
And here I am, just sitting in the bus, waiting to get to work, while these two are shouting in foreign languages
I’ve genuinely been in that exact situation haha
I, as a German, actually love the French
ARTE: plan is working, excellent
I rarely watch ARTE, though.
🇨🇵❤️🇩🇪
(Ich bin französisch)
Sometimes you Germans love them a little too much and France has to get restraining orders.
Loved them so much they wanted to keep a part of them.
HERETIC
I actually quite like the french nowadays…coming from a dutchie
I think they all hate the English more than the French.
We all hate America more than literally anything (or any place) more on Earth.
Dude same
One thing doesn’t exclude the other. We have big hearts, we can hate multiple countries, including our own.
The US equivalent would be Missouri lolol
Sub-continents bonding over a shared butt-of-the-joke is fun.
First time I’m hearing of hate for Missouri lmao. Usually it gets lumped in with the rest of the Midwest for being nothing but corn and cows. I’ve heard a lot more hate for states like Alabama and Mississippi
I’ll be in the cold hard ground before I recognize Missouri
Pronounced “Mizzurah”.
Really? We always called it Misery. 😂
Yeah it should be Ohio, or one of the states surrounding Mississippi (whom all say “thank God for Mississippi” when looking at their low stats)
From Ohio, Can confirm, it sucks Ass
My money was on New Jersey or Florida
There’s no hate like the hate between Californians and Texans.
Iowa feeling really left out rn
Wouldn’t that be Ohio?
I would’ve thought Texas would be about the highest on the hatred list
It probably depends on where you live. If you’re really anywhere outside of the south, it can fit any of the southern states. Mississippi, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, etc… Basically any state that fell prey to the Southern Strategy.
I don’t hate any states because even our states can have a huge amount of people, so they’re very diverse. If anything, I really really don’t appreciate the politicians in certain states. They are killing their residents and economies. Name a red state basically.
