I’ve seen a lot of articles trying to show France positively lately, often by specific accounts, that try to (for example) give a positive image of Macron, of France, of De Gaulle, of the French government, to spread the far-right extremist propaganda that comes from there (with the recent death of a violent nazi assaulter shown as the horrible murder of a poor innocent pacifist bystander), etc.
France has been transforming very very fast into a very fascist country thanks to macron, and so having articles that dare to basically say “the world is having to admit that France is right” or shit like that seems a lot that the techniques of the far right to spread their ideas. And it wasn’t like that on lemmy, let’s say, six months ago.
The goal is to show France as a nice, culturally aware country that respects other countries, while it does the exact opposite.
It’s basically the same kind of manipulation as when the far right talks about wanting freedom of speech or being colorblind. It’s trying to put a positive look on something negative to influence people into tolerating and normalising it.
“No, the nazis are not so extreme or racist, look, they gave back a drum that the country stole. They are being reasonable in the end”

You think the fart right would advocate for returning stolen cultural artifacts to their rightful owners?
