>>19357289The French aren't pretentious. We deserve the praise.
We do a lot more than some other countries despite many facing many hurdle, a unreliable frenemy next door and imperialist/communist hyperpower either trying to make us a tame satellite state or destroy our value because we are (really) a better beacon of democracy than the US.
From my personal point of view the US are underperforming as fuck despite winning history's lottery several time in a row, nowhere as much as Russia and less late to the game than China but still underperforming.
Go ahead and meme us, that's the only raison d'être of this thread after all.
Our flag is only white because we are still arguing if the blue tone should be the European blue or the old one and we got tired of painting with the blood of our enemies after inventing most words for combat.
