RE: Yo Blair RE misanthropicus/ The impotent Helots’ Jealousy -
1) “[...] Something also that most readers of Pajama Media won’t know: France was the first country in the West (incl, the US) to elect a Jewish Prime minister in the 1930s, Leon Blum [..]”
Buddy, never heard about Benjamin Disraeli? About 50 years before PM in the island of Britain?
2) “[...] misanthropicus made a VERY stupid comment: “the Maquis and the French ressistence [spelling mistake here by misanthropicus] stories are mostly inventions”. Of course, you can always argue that the whole nation should have been part of the resistance blah blah blah. The fact remains that 80,000 resistants died during the war, and bravely. [...]”
Buddy, France belongs to the club of countries with unpredictable past – their gushing about an active and heroic anti-german resistence in the forties is largely a fifties-sixties, state-organized collective fantasy.
If you want an European nation which indeed acted courageously and suffered enormously in those circumstances, those were the Serbians and the Poles. The French act in 1939-1945 was execrable (like most of other European contries, anyway) and ever since their duplicity and opportunism kept growing.
3) Buddy, the issue we’re are enriching each other on this thread is about the Euros trashing America, and my description of that was “Impotent Helots’ Jealousy…” – any… balanced! view regarding that? You’re an Euro? I am, and I know that stock very well.
