Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.

V for vichy? Or did the resistance raise it and v for victory?

[–] Anchorxiety@reddthat.com 4 points 3 days ago

Churchill popularised the "V for victory" symbol associated with the allies, so this was an attempt to turn it against them for propaganda purposes.
