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]

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
Willing Nazi collaborators that did far worse than the Nazis did in Africa, all while pretending they’re civilized when for most of their modern history they’ve spent denying their multiple genocides over the past few centuries. I wonder why anyone would hate France. Pathetic imperialist scum.
