    But it got a political and web powered revival due to the 2023 2003 Irak war refusal which likely has a stronger impact on internet culture today than the WW2 has.

    France refused to be complicit in invading Iraq in 2003

    France... Based?

    They decided not to invade somewhere once, I'm not going to call them based until they keep it up

    This is the real answer. I have a chud 3%er man-child for a father-in-law, and he legitimately hates the French, can't abide hearing the language, calls French fries "freedom fries", the whole thing. He doesn't even even know why though, it's 100% virtue-signaling conformity with US American chud culture. The same man won't buy meat labeled as "Halal". (Though he will buy/eat it if he doesn't notice the label.) Like I said, utter child.

    Dates back further than that, De Gaulle wanted to fix 'French Indochina' himself and was none too pleased when US and Australia interdicted in Vietnam.

    He cut off parts for our Mirage 3's.

    Cancelling the French Submarine contract was the right call to make, even if we made the wrong choice in what to buy straight afterward.

    Paris is basically an overpriced amusement park staffed by surly employees.

    amusement park staffed by surly employees.

    This is a common remark by tourists, and funny enough, people who've looked into it have concluded that Parisians act that way towards tourists precisely because they don't define themselves as employees who are only here to serve tourists. They'll get to you when they get to you, they'll speak to you like normal people and not servants, they don't actually care about the quality of whatever product you're getting because they didn't make it and they're not involved in the resolution of your problem, and they'll send you off if you get pissy about it. They are not the staff of your amusement park.
