      French republic will literally murder 20,000 of its own people and then declare "ok we've made peace with the communards lets build the republic together :)"

        I'll still never forgive the French for giving apartheid South Africa fighter jets, arms, and assisting in the creation of nuclear weapons. Also what they did to Thomas Sankara and the people of Burkina Faso is heartbreaking and unforgivable.

          François Mittérand killed Sankara. Today, some people are attempting to restore his image and some leftists/libs even look up to him. That guy was a fucking opportunist and a traitor. He's a fucking criminal and he couldn't have died soon enough. Fuck him.

                Holding colonies post WW2, stuff like that. I can only assume this wikipedia article is a bit white washed (the french colonies voted to remain under french rule, really?)

    France gets off so fucking lightly in the discourse man. Even people that talk shit (rightly) on the US and UK for being disgusting imperialists often leave France out of it, despite them being right up there with the worst colonisers of all. Haiti alone gives them a podium finish at worst.

    For all their faults, you'll be able to find people who say the Brits have charming humour, or you'll find people who think Americans are optimistic and sociable, but I've never met someone who actually likes the French.
