dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I am in Morocco where French is the second language that everyone learns at school. There's this cultural phenomenon where people tend to speak French to appear as if they are cultured or from a higher class. There are jokes about some wealthy neighborhoods where people speak French or use a weird mixture of Moroccan and French. There are stories of people trying to make a reservation at a restaurant and they are told everything is full but someone else gets a reservation when speaking French.

So there are many memes that develop about the snobbery of French speaking Moroccans. There's also the political aspects of French language being introduced when Morocco was colonized by France. So some would ask "why are you speaking the colonizer's language?" But I don't agree with this because many of the great anticolonial writings by Moroccan writers was done in French, and many great authors and historians tend to also be Francophone.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

You just need the first sign and most of the French speakers won't come in anyway.
