The US equivalent would be Missouri lolol
Sub-continents bonding over a shared butt-of-the-joke is fun.
First time I’m hearing of hate for Missouri lmao. Usually it gets lumped in with the rest of the Midwest for being nothing but corn and cows. I’ve heard a lot more hate for states like Alabama and Mississippi
Iowa feeling really left out rn
I’ll be in the cold hard ground before I recognize Missouri
Pronounced “Mizzurah”.
I prefer “Misery”
I grew up in Iowa, you could tell an old timer based on the way they pronounce it. We had a stereotype of Missourians always “warshing” their clothes and “fixing” their dinners. “You talk with that lazy mouth like you’re from down Mizzurah.”
Yeah it should be Ohio, or one of the states surrounding Mississippi (whom all say “thank God for Mississippi” when looking at their low stats)
Really? We always called it Misery. 😂
My money was on New Jersey or Florida
Wouldn’t that be Ohio?
Bro what? Most of the country has literally never once even thought of Missouri.
It depends on where you are, of course, but the real butt of the joke states are obviously Texas, Florida, and West Virginia.
I would’ve thought Texas would be about the highest on the hatred list
It probably depends on where you live. If you’re really anywhere outside of the south, it can fit any of the southern states. Mississippi, Texas, Florida, Arkansas, etc… Basically any state that fell prey to the Southern Strategy.
I don’t hate any states because even our states can have a huge amount of people, so they’re very diverse. If anything, I really really don’t appreciate the politicians in certain states. They are killing their residents and economies. Name a red state basically.
As a french girl, I hate France too
Maybe that’s why we Germans don’t hate you guys - we’re busy hating our own country as well
This, and without a hint of irony.
France, you’re a cunt and I love you.
They’re cunts not they’re our cunts.
Exactly! We may all hate each other on some level, but we are still sistren and brethren of europe (russia you dont count fuck off, but we can gladlely accept kasachstan as honorary european in its place instead). Hit on one of us and we are a united front!..atleast the people…politics…ugh lets not start that…
Second pic is “listen here, you little shit” expressed with chef’s kiss.
Oh yeah, it’s siblings rivalry. Outsiders OUT.
Do we Latinos join the club or not?
We love to mess with speakers of other Romance languages.
We can at least all agree that Portugal doesn’t exist
We can agree that portugal is a lost balcan nation
You mean Eastern Spain? Where they speak Brazilian?
Nobody knows what language they speak, it lacks vowels. Also, it’s western spain 🙃
Eastern?
Funny how the American one is better in principle, but worse in practise while the European one is worse in principle but (ehhh fine I guess but ugh) in practise
Sorry. We got other things to hate on right now that are worth more hate than the French.
Reminds me of that experiment some guy did and dressed up in Mexican attire and Americans were all saying how offensive it was.
Then he went to Mexico and asked old Mexican men and they all shrugged and couldn’t have been less offended by him.
Is the 2westerneurope4u finally coming to lemmy? 😍
I just called someone here a savage so… Maybe.
It’s the entirety of Lemmy
I want to know the context.
Stereotypes.
Americans are incredibly obsessed about which European countries their distant ancestors came from, even if they basically know nothing about these countries or how they are today.
Meanwhile, in Europe, friendly neighbour ribbing is alive and well. Everyone slings mud over the border, and it’s fine, usually, they’ll do the same to us, you see.
I think they all hate the English more than the French.
We all hate America more than literally anything (or any place) more on Earth.
One thing doesn’t exclude the other. We have big hearts, we can hate multiple countries, including our own.
Hating the French is a MI6 psyop to direct hate away from the Bri*ish
What about the Germans? Or are they just too low hanging fruit for banter?
Banter is fun when the other side can give back in a humourous way. I’m told. I wouldn’t know, too busy being efficient.
Fits
Most Europeans don’t even think about the Bri*ish
That’s why your not invited to the haters ball

Gott strafe England.
We can multitask, mate.
Unpopular opinion but the British aren’t even that bad. They are only hated so much because they have been really good at a lot of things and drinking too much. The foundation most of the world is based on is British and it’s easy to miss.

English
When people talk about the “British” they tend to show their ignorance about the UK
You’re talking about the English.
Not the Scots, not the Welsh
I feel like most Europeans have no issue with the French, it’s an America-thing. Maybe a UK-thing.
I’m an englishman francophile. I love Jacques Brel, Georges Perec, French food…
like everything this is just a meme
don’t forget Dominique Pinon
It’s mostly american propaganda
Ah, no, we don’t have issues with the french, we just love hating on each other because you know, we have history. Not with the current ones which is why we have no issues, but you know, it’s entertaining.
French can joke about how the Basque did a very early space program (terrorism), how the Germans love their soap (Nazism) and so on. We don’t have issues with each other, it’s just fuckery.
That’s why it’s weird when Americans call french white flags… They are not allowed, also their references are about their experiences as tourists, which is like, it was probably their fault.
The English once found a monkey after a shipwreck and tried and hanged it on the charge of being French.
We hate “The French” but have no issues with French people.
I love France, it’s a beautiful country. Unfortunately it’s filled with Frenchmen.
We have no issue with the French. We do hate the Italians, they’re a bunch of pushy fascists.
Their government. Fascists are everywhere. Germany, france, poland, england, turkey, romania, finland, sweden, portugal. Everywhere. and once the fat bald snake of a bear is dealt with one way or the other, oooh that will be beautiful watching them scramble without their biggest finance and supprter.
The French are incredibly based and the trope of them surrendering immediately is ridiculous. The French resistance during WW2 was fierce. And 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
It’s an American thing that has slightly spilled out to the UK through popular media.
France has a strong track record post WW2 of consistently standing up to the USA’s wars abroad; they were one of the first to kick US nuclear bases out of their own country during the Cold War, and were their biggest Western opponent at the UN regarding the second Iraq war. Hence the continued popularity of the “cheese-eating surrender monkeys” trope in American media.
Never mind the 900 years of constant wars
Anyone in the 21st century claiming to still be sore over the Napoleonic Wars or anything pre-dating them maybe shouldn’t be taken seriously
“You see king philipe, we have a very lucrative wine trade in gascony and the flemish like us and we like their cloth industry. You know…thinking about, my mother was the last of the house of capet. Wouldnt that make…king of france?” - Edward III probably
They were also the ones that brought USA into Vietnam in the 1950s…
Here, take my upvote, and thank you!
– A french.
The ruse worked get them!
Italians have a tendency to hate/compare themselve to the French.
For example: Italy scores very badly in some rankings. The first thing an Italian would do is to check if France is higher or lower than Italy. If it’s lower, they’d say “at least we beat the french”. If it’s higher they’d say “damn we even scored worse than France… terrible”.
But I don’t think people actually hate france or the french. it’s more like a meme I think!

I’m italian and I don’t hate nor love the French
People love to hate the french but I find it pretty unearned.
They put up the white flag before any argument could be made.
American commenter detected, how dare you fuck with France without even being European. And if you are European, how dare you using the American punchline when we have our own for France.
seriously at least go for something a little more clever
German, lol.
Then proceed to read the second sentence, thank you. I’m on the other side of France, but feel free to ask for some hate mail material.
… and each and everyone of you, bastards.🤪
Same strips but horizontal.
how can you be 5% anything?
US Americans are kind of obsessed with DNA genealogy. The results are mostly insignificant, they can’t tell you anything about the “nation” you are coming from. But it’s fascinating for them to imagine they are 10% Welsh and 20% German.
You only need 13 relatives to be 100% of something in the 9th generation to have 5% ancestry in it (well specifically 5.078125%, but who is counting).
SNP based DNA-test. But in my humble opinion as a bioinformatician, genetic variants don’t have nationhood
aren’t those chips skewed towards over-represented european (sub)-populations in general though
Used to be at least
I think 5% of your DNA comes from a location?
