After the Charlotteville events, NY Mayor Bill de Blasio pledged to remove the Marechals Commemorative plaque from Broadway.
Quick reminder >He was the victor of Verdain >Loved by his troops >Signed the French Armistice >Saved most of the French Jews... >...while allowing for the Foreign Jews to be deported, during German occupation
Is it justified? >Most Americans (especially SJWs) don't know him. >He was a controverted figure (the same can be said about the founding fathers) >No one is perfect, No one can rewrite history
He ran Vichy France which were fascists but yeah I don't get this move because 99% of Americans would have no clue about him. I only know him because I have a boner for France.
Nolan James
His Doxa was protecting France ( or what remained of it). >Had to comply with some German requests >Vichy France was recognized by Roosevelt >He is a complex figure
Jackson Nguyen
Didn't know he had a plaque on fucking Broadway. He's reviled as a traitor in France where there are no monuments in his honor.
William Perez
It was probably put up during or after WW1.
Connor Anderson
1931
Christopher James
I've always found France's position on Vichy opportunistic and hypocrite. > Most of Frances administration was supporting it. >All judges swore ailigence to Vichy
Asher Moore
So passing is merely a formality in NY?
Landon Williams
>He's reviled as a traitor in France where there are no monuments in his honor.
He is a traitor
Joshua Clark
I guess

Every fascist is a good fascist. Except Mussolini, he was garbage.
Grayson Lopez
>was the one to disarm France by banning freedom to own guns without asking permission to anyone (still in effect to this day), even before nazis asked for that fuck him fuck his memory fuck his legacy
Kevin Stewart
He is also only reason why France wasn't completely leveled and didn't suffer insane casualties in WWII. French army wasn't in position resist after Schlieffen Plan 2.0: the Mechanized Boogaloo proved to be successful.
Dominic Garcia
>Every fascist is a good fascist >every leftist is a fascist >every leftist is good sad wouldn't even hire you to unclog loo
Zachary Fisher
They can remove each and every statue or plaque at this rate, No one was 100% angel, Elvis, MLK, Indian leaders etc... Fun fact: such behaviour is pure fascism.
Ayden Phillips

Not an argument, faggot.
Cooper Jenkins
Well I guess, they've already prepared the dynamite... These white men are too oppressive for minorities
William Watson
you're not even a Human, you fucking pole
Grayson Turner
I know what you Trumpcucks are thinking: "If they take down monuments to Nazi collaborators, who next? George Washington?"
Well here's what I say to the traitors brandishing swastikas, Confederate battle flags, anti-Semitic banners and “Trump/Pence” signs:
We beat you in 1865.
We beat you in 1945.
We beat you in 1969.
We beat you in 2008.
It will be a pleasure to defeat you once and for all. For AMERICA will always be BETTER than the traitors, racists, and fascists. Your stooge in chief just outed himself and AMERICA is answering.
Levi Phillips
*yawn*
Carter Ward
To be fair he was a fucking traitor to his own country and killed thousands of Americans soldiers. Nobody should be praising this POS
Cooper Rivera
Without them, Wiena would've been Turkish > Show a bit of respect
Sebastian Lewis
We should join the Turks and burn that shithole you ungrateful fucks.
Aaron Parker
>his country has lived under commie rule >still doesn't realize fascism is one of the two teats of leftism, together with theft respect is not a due it's earned.
Ryan Phillips
Any white person who was not perfect their entire life should be vilified. JFK screwed around behind his wife's back; get rid of all the memorials to him. All those slave owners, like Jefferson and Washington? remove all tributes, rename cities and states.
White people should be held to a higher standard.
Aaron Garcia
>People caring about some meaningless 17. century battle
>fascism is one of the two teats of leftism You are talking about nazism, you uneducated piece of garbage.
Cameron Phillips
>Meaningless
Levi Howard
>talking about nazism I do live in a socialist cesspit, where more than half the voters even chose one of the 4 hardline commie candidate on the first turn of the last presidential election I certainly am not just talking about nazism, you dumb loo fiddler
Hudson Bailey
>Congratulations. You just created more nazis. All I can think of.
Ayden Perez
you know that Mussolini was literally a socialist and he was supported by liberals in the USA and leftists in Europe until he attacked Abisinia
Bentley Jones
>Elvis
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Elvis.
Carson Walker
he's probably an uneducated idiot, I doubt you should have any hopes to convince him to anything
Julian Evans
Marechal, nous voila.
Owen Parker
>For AMERICA will always be BETTER than the traitors
Gommunists are OK dough :DDDD
Michael Phillips
I guy in my cram school randomly started singing that in the history class.
Adrian Peterson
And nothing of va value would be lost
Kevin Moore
Isn't he literally French Hitler?
Even though he spared you from an assrape and turned it into a molestation at worst
James Taylor
It's the longest string of French that I can pronounce, Frog-san. A pretty tune.
Ryan Peterson
That's why he's hated. France could only survive as a nation if everyone buried the past of the war years. It would have been impossible to build the 4th Republic without people who had worked in the civil and military administration of Vichy.
In order to get over this mental trauma, all the blame was pinned on one man entirely. Petain was the fall guy. But I don't think he would have minded, he loved France and would have seen his hate figure status as a necessary sacrifice for the continuation of France.
Luke Williams
Maréchal nous voilà ! Devant toi, le sauveur de la France Nous jurons, nous, tes gars De servir et de suivre tes pas Maréchal nous voilà ! Tu nous as redonné l'espérance La Patrie renaîtra ! Maréchal, Maréchal, nous voilà !
Jace Parker
Is it justified? No, this is a mad dash to rub out people from a living memory before while they still have the capital to pull it off.
Oliver Ross
>would have been impossible to build the 4th Republic would have been for the better... 4th republic was just the puppet of "conseil national de la (so called) résistance", one of the most abjectious commie hive of all history its (((legacy))) is the number one reason this country is so shit to this day
Logan Sanchez
>Exactly >France is still the land of Scapegoats politics
Zachary Collins
> It was an unstable political system: 28 governments in 10years > Sill France remained a working country thanks to High Public Servants
David Hill
>working country the shitflinging of 4th republic is precisely why this country can't even pretend to work, you dumb cunt
the one and only solution was for that de gaulle monkey to accept Merry Friends proposition to get rid of all the commies immediately (which he refused because of the "union nationale" fucktardry)
Eli Reed
>working country= Working bureaucracy and administrations
Mason Thompson
>Working >bureaucracy and administrations >Working no such thing ever happened and even less so in France
Wyatt Gonzalez
Junkie, homophobe... and certainly not a leftist.
Ryder Baker
Well, you never stepped outside Western Europe.
Luis Phillips
Or ever had to bribe a public servant
Luke Phillips
He was also chaffeur for that guy in army.
Austin Myers
>france is getting swarmed by muslims and niggers thanks to jews >he's a traitor
How does that work?
Ryder Jenkins
And who's that guy?
Caleb Peterson
Olavi Alakulppi. A Finnish officer who had to fuck from Finland to US after WW2 due to weapons caching case bunch of other officers. Once he got into US he naturally joined the US Army.
Colton Ross
Does De Gaulle have any statues, memorials or plaques in the US?
They better not remove it. They better not touch him.
Lucas Myers
thx
He was kind of a colonialist oppressor thought.
Jace Thompson
Don't tell him from where the New YORK came from.
Nolan Clark
He could also be a real pain in the ass. But he's still one of my absolute favorite 20th century statesmen from the non-Hungarian subcategory. I like he was a complete adrenaline junkie inside who loved danger. I also like how he was a decent human being towards his sick daughter.
Jason Young
>>Saved most of the French Jews... fuck him
Julian Long
>meaningless
Joshua Allen
>WW1 >Encercled by Germans >Leeds the last suicide assault rather than surrendering >Wounded, most men killed
Aiden Flores
He was already semi-senile, he didn't do shit, he was just a tool
Nathan Green
How?
Eli Davis
>I also like how he was a decent human being towards his sick daughter. And he never bragged about it, never tried to take advantage of it in the public opinion.
Michael Allen
Most Poles are actually conservatives who are pro-democracy. Even most of the nationalists just want a strong ethnically Polish democracy. Don't mind Bartek, he's just an ass.
Carson Myers
If I recall, he was captured, taken prisoner and he hated it because not being able to fight while there is a war going on feels like being cucked.
And he was cellmates with Tukhachevsky who used to either play violin (he was a highly literate officer who later became very good friends with Sostakovich, the famous composer) or rant about nihilism and about how Jews are evil.
>you will never share a cell with De Gaulle and Tukhachevsky >you will never smell the farts of two very intelligent military theorists
Does the French left have anyone as grand as him? A French leftist would probably bring up Sartre, I guess...
Camden Peterson
The Republican left (the not degenerate meritocratic part) has Victor Hugo.
>DG called the Jews a nation of Self-confident masters, elites, and dominators.
Isaac Hernandez
>Does the French left have anyone as grand as him? A French leftist would probably bring up Sartre, I guess...
Maybe Georges Clemenceau or Jean Jaurès. But I don't think any actual leftist really know them.
Christian Brooks
deblasio aka Warren Wilhelm
Gabriel Rodriguez
Don't worry about it frenchy, americans are shallow to the bone, if they remove the statue you can't expect them to truly know or care about it save for the goodboy points it awards in the current political climate.
