NGL the USA becoming a French Colony would fix 90% of the political issues currently plaguing it.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Eh, it would probably end up like Haiti

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Comparatively, check out how the US handled Bikini Atoll and Puerto Rico

France demands a mineral deal and a thank you

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 23 points 2 days ago

The US should be more thankful. And should wear a suit

Unfortunately, this didn't really happen

Thanks for this. We need a way of flagging satire or misinformation more clearly. I don’t think it’s enough to have it buried in the comment sections.

I would say it's obvious satire but then i remembered the reality we live in

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Personally I take everything here very seriously as the community is clearly called credibledefense

That doesn’t mean anything to me.

[–] xye@lemm.ee 21 points 3 days ago

Well. Seeing as this is NCD…

Maybe we should put these types of posts into a community and say that it's non-credible in the name.

it should though. everyone should go hard on these parasites. fascists always get a free ride from all the authorities. that's how they get into power. they never suffer consequences, because all the consequences are fake and designed to stop people from being too free or too communist, both of which fascists also work to stop, so the nation's enforcement mechanisms see them as friends and go really ridiculously easy on them.

france needs to nail america's dick to the wall, and declare that no more american goods will be coming into france until these scum pay their debts. maybe even give a 'we brought you into this world, and we can damn sure take you out of it.'

Your history lesson seems to forget America helping France, both financially and strategically, during and after WW2. I dislike the US position right now, but to suggest they've somehow been freeloading is patently false, and the rest of the world, Europe in particular, has relied heavily on the US since the end of WW2.

Sorry, that deal was made with the French royal family, not the republic. It's null and void.

[–] smac@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 days ago

It doesn't matter. The debt was repaid in 1795 by James Swan, a banker who assumed the debt from the U.S.

I don't think France would want to open up the indemnity/ reparations conversation...

[–] Alloi@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

i mean they did give us democracy, existentialism, and the blow job.....

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

...menage à trois.....soixante-neuf....

But aside from those, what have the French done for us?

[–] Spider2013@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Baguette, croissant, macarron

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemm.ee 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Yes, yes, but other than that, what have the French really ever done for us?

[–] Spaniard@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Napoleonic law, the metric system, pasteurization

[–] blujan@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, yes, but other than that?

I wish. Sadly, despite being heavily armed, Americans are too polite and gentle when it comes to their politicians.
