Tbf it was mostly done just to spite the British.
It wasn’t the French assisting the Americans against the British. It was the French assisting a rebellion started by some British colonists against the British government. In other words, they didn’t really care about why the rebels were rebelling, they didn’t even consider them to really be anything other than British, but they were willing to fight the British government, and that was good enough for France.
are there better reasons to get shit done?
Of course! To spite the french!
you make a valid point
Hey, the enemy of my enemy is my friend
Good guy Louis XVI accidentally bringing democracy to both sides of the Atlantic
The French have also historically been pretty good at revolutions against the aristocracy. The U.S. could do with a lesson there rn.
So ultimately we can blame the French for Trump, got it
From the French, America was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
Don’t Panic
Non non non, that’s your own mess!
French kick ass and we could learn from them the way they get shit done (aka riot).
But from like a distance because French people are kinda mean. And they know it and don’t care.
And clearly that isn’t something to be proud of.
We’ve had good moments and bad.
… admittedly, not a fantastic time to claim credit for the USA at the moment.
hey i got some cheese to recommend tho
What’s a little casual ribbing between pals?

This reminds me that we should also be grateful to Mexico for giving us so much of our land.

As a native American with a French last name, I can comfortably say fuck all the French, fuck their ancestors, and fuck their future generations for enriching themselves on the wealth of my people.
Every last fucking french sack of shit doesn’t deserve the oxygen the Earth was kind enough to produce.
Uh, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say disgust and hatred at past actions is legitimate, but no one is born a criminal or a thief. Please avoid seemingly serious statements about entire demographics being undeserving of life on this comm.
Every last French is born both and worse besides. They are a global disease that has wiped more culture from our world than the worst despots of time. If you can’t see how completely they destroyed my people, what about Africa? South America? Vietnam? The Philippines?
Regardless of where you look I can guarantee you will find the stink of France staining history at one time or another.

You really don’t see how assigning some sort of original sin to French infants is, I don’t know, senseless?
Not when those French infant births were made possible by the stolen wealth of nations and cultures that have suffered and died so those French babies could be born, no.
Show me an innocent French baby and I will show you the product of 20 generations of genocide, for they are one and the same.
Oh so you’re insane and full of hate and are using past atrocities to excuse your evil soul
Yes just forgive the colonizers for their history of butchery and pardon their offspring who have enjoyed the wealth that butchery produced. Its fiiiiine.
Meanwhile, ill just live as a remnant of a dead people with a French last name like its all even Steven.
And you call my soul evil. Check your privilege.

Which is the fault of those born, how? Fuck man, none of us ask to be born, much less in the circumstances we’re born in.
You can choose to be anything other than French. France and its people continue to exist by mutual consent of all other people on earth. It is possible to reach a consensus to end France. Bury its history, integrate its people, and do our best to purge any and all reference to its existence. It is possible to live in a world without French at all. We should all dream of a better future.
The better future is one where your hideous views are completely eradicated. There is no progress with such hate.
