So as usual the level of irony and hypocrisy is difficult to grasp.
Here this one using Memri TV meme to do dunk on the French.
For those who don’t know MEMRI TV is Israeli propaganda that’s made to paint the Arab world in a negative picture.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East_Media_Research_Institute
Critics describe MEMRI as a strongly pro-Israel advocacy group that, in spite of describing itself as being “independent” and “non-partisan” in nature,[5][6][7] aims to portray the Arab world and the Muslim world in a negative light by producing and disseminating incomplete or inaccurate translations of the original versions of the media reports that it re-publishes.[8][9] It has also been accused of selectively focusing on the views of Islamic extremists while de-emphasizing or ignoring mainstream opinions.[10]
In their defense, Memri TV screenshots are fucking hilarious and I will not pretend they are not.
By Allah, you people are dogs. I will go on as usual.
I hate to admit that yes they are gold.
It’s kind of a modern minstrel show, so I’m afraid you’re cancelled now.
Sorry.

Well I’ll be. It turns out you can, in fact, just not consent because it’s not a real thing.
I’ve once again won.
People just don’t realize just how hard we, the French, get off on you being mad at us.
Genuinely nothing more enjoyable in my life than a bunch of people going stark raving mad over us existing.
Well then you will be glad to know that I, despite totally despising your language, are forced to learn it anyway cause now I’m living in a french speaking city…
Why do the tankies dislike France?

A French Lemmy instance hurt their feelings.
My guess would be that as France tried to recover from WWII they stubbornly tried to claw back their imperial holdings, basically starting the Vietnam War and probably some other more minor conflicts that I’m not remembering right now.
Not that you should expect good faith reasoning from .mlgrad.
Well there’s also the recent and completely predictable political development where the liberal parties formed a government with fascist support.
That the erosion of French civil liberties is still miles above most “AES” is irrelevant.
OK but who likes France?
Not french people, that’s for sure
Even they hate French people.
Well, y’know… broadly gestures at centuries of imperialism
Self counterpoint : Jean Jaurès was one of the most based leftists to ever live. But he was probably not authoritarian enough for them
So the only based Arab TV? Interesting.

What do you mean by this?
Racism
What I meant to say was westoids deserve to be killed 1000x. My mistake.
Please edit your comment. Racism is not okay
I wouldn’t say it’s racism, more like threatening murder which is still pretty bad. Not everyone in the west is the same race
We may never know
You haven’t edited your comment, so I’m removing this and banning you for 24 hours
