We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

How is Macron so based? I, as a German, used to hate on France, but they are holy based the last months

[–] Flubo@feddit.org 3 points 8 hours ago

In France macron is (or at least was) quite unpopular for what he's doing within the country. But in foreign affairs he's really based already for years I would say. One of the few persons who had visions for the EU before putin and now trump reminded everyone to be happy we have it.

Why would you hate France ? We spent years building a strong friendship, sharing TV programs, sending our kids to each other, learning each other languages, making good deals... Let's stay friends

Another German here. I love France. And arte is the best TV Programm. :) just that you don't feel alone.

My theory: Many germans just had really Bad French teachers and honestly its not very easy to learn the spelling, so since their youth they are a bit mad at France. I personally know 3 people that had to redo a year because of bad french grades. Nothing More behind it usually. I noticed its the same with French people that had to learn German. Some love Germany now , the rest projecs their dislike of learning the language on the whole country. However, at least in my bubble, people that like France are in majority. Even those that don't speak french love to visit.
