The French are incredibly based and the trope of them surrendering immediately is ridiculous. The French resistance during WW2 was fierce. And in throughout history and in current times the French don’t take shit from their government. If the French government tried even a fraction of what our (German) government is pushing through at the moment Paris would be burned to the ground. Meanwhile we (Germans) just whine and do nothing.

As a fellow German I kind of admire the French protest culture. Fully agreed.

As another fellow german, i admire way more. We germans have lots to learn from french culture. From treating meal times and food as something to be celebrated and not a neccessary annoying task. Their local empathy without tearing others down. The joy of life and less complaining about small minor things while ignoring how good we got it. Their protest and workers-unity culture though is on top of the list. If we had that, Mr. Burns would have never gotten into office, a curtain brown party made in russia wouldnt be so populare, and so many social problems we wouldnt have rn.
Also the french goal for european independence and self reliance.
But the french nuclear power kink can stay in france
