So 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?

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, 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.

Not to mention what happened when the British army met that same force (abandoned their equipment and fled in small boats)

reminds me of the dumbass freedom fries thing.

And French's mustard (the standard American yellow mustard) who had to take full page adverts out in US newpapers to remind everyone that 'French's' was a brand name and nothing to do with the 'cheese-eating surrender monkeys'.

people calling me an imbecile merely proves my scathing wit

Tale as old as the internet

I've thought my scathing wit would be a given, but glad to see we're on the same page now.

It's because I didn't add this to the context link: "TW: contains Fr*nch". My bad.
