The French get a weird rap of being cowards and expert surrenderers, but honestly I'm starting to think that's some sort of American media psyop. Let's remember the French made snails into luxury cuisine (which means they discovered snails are edible in the first place), dethroned Latin as the lingua franca, and brought their feudal lords to the guillotine. The latter one a service they should absolutely export.
You don't even have to for that far back. During the Second World War there was a massive resistance movement by the french population against the german occupation.
The "French surrender" memes says way more about their elites than their people.
Especially in recent history since the people tend to protest and it works.
Well said.
