symbolism for french cuckoldry

Blue - War, conflict, rivalry
White - Republic
Red - Monarchy

The French flag describes the history of humanity since time immemorial: republican (horizontal representative liberal democracy) - vs - absolute/totalist/top2down hierarchism (monarchy which can only be absolute, cliques, chieftain, overlordship...; pyramid/obelisk power structure)

That's how I've understood it.
There's some alchemical symbology allusion to it too.

Under monarchism (it can only be absolute), nobody really owns their own property, it belongs to the aristocrat on the totem poll and/or to the king/royalty.
Coo-o-oincidentally, socialist-communists also don't believe in proprietorship, with red as the “blood” of the working people (what about the party elite, nomenklatura?).


I always considered that, having acquired that knowledge, with vertical stripes flags the middle signifies the genuine core power of a nation-state.

I'm still not sure with the horizontal stripes.
In the past, I thought that the upper color signaled the structure of the genuine core power but now I'm not convinced anymore.

With Fleur-de-lis, yes.
There's symbology with it: fleur-de-lis (royalty) central against the white flag (commoners, „salt of the earth”), either one huge specimen on it or numerous ones all over it like a chain.

Fleur-de-lis is one of the antique symbols for absolute/totalist rule used by Ancient Egyptian pharaohs. We all know what Ancient Egypt was like, despite its longevity.

In school they teach it like this:
White is the king
Red and blue are Paris

The flag came from a time where we were trying to do a constitutional monarchy, so it was meant as an alliance between the people and the king, but the we discovered he was plotting with foreign nations to reestablish absolute monarchy and it felled off. We still kept the flag.

As a fun fact, at one point in time there was a strong royalist party that could have won elections, but the only legitimate heir to the throne their considered running for refused to accept the flag should be kept, but this was an unpopular enough choicr they failed.

According to the government (yes, the government) it has no particular symbolism. They were just the three colors in use on the republican national guard in revolutionary times. They're at most a patriotic symbol. Blue and red are the colours of Paris, and stripes were in fashion during the neoclassic era.

Revolutionary France is basically tauntamount to centralism. France is a Parisian dictatorship where regions have absolutely no rights whatsoever. even worse, people have been brainwashed by a century of "national" education that this is perfectly normal. French regional cultures, languages and laws have been thoroughly erased from existence with better efficiency than in actual dictatorships who tried to do the same like Franquist Spain, China or the USSR.

Centralism was always the main direction France was heading during the old régime and the erasure of the dialects and regional identities only came during the 3rd republic, about 100 years after the revolution.

The first republic wasn't any more centralist or culturally destructive than the politics that preceded it. And this "jacobinism" everybody talks about is a meaningless term that refers to no particularly unique political thought.

It's pretty dumb.

It is true that the south wasn't always French. It's true also that their language was destroyed during the third republic. But to retrospectively refer to all of them as one people by virtue of sharing a language is just stupid. Occitania never existed, and it never will because it cannot anymore. This is the romantic dream of early 20th century regionalists.
If we were to criticize the nationalist rewriting of history, creating Occitania and pretending it was always a reality isn't precisely not the way to do it.

Moreover, what does it mean to be oppressed in this example? The south today speaks French, and is unequivocally French. Why and how could we attribute to southerners an eternal nature and say that they are betraying that nature and they are currently suffering the oppression of not learning "THEIR" language? Whose language? My language, the same as my father and my grandfather and my great grandfather is the French language. I do not and cannot identify with these old identities. My provencalness has nothing to do with the provencalness of the people that used to live here in the past. Everything changes, everybody changes.

Nobody in the real world gives an actual fuck about how the regions are drawn on the map or what genetic and cultural background there is to each territory.
What kinda pisses me off is even the most extreme of the far right even gives a fuck about regional identity, so I'm suspecting you're some kind of foreign troll trying to get a rise out of smoothbrains on the Internet.

Oh and yeah no the dialects are still here. Another reason why I hardly believe what he's trying to tell us here, that it's all gone to the shiter when, in fact, Occitanie, Alsace, Bretagne and all the other territories are thriving.
It's deterritorialisation at play, it's ironic to speak of real territories as if they're abstract concepts that you have to engrave in the cosmos. Know what I mean? Occitanie is an administrative region now, well shit, but what do you want it to be: a kingdom? a duchy? a commune? from where to where?

Stop putting words in my mouth, you can't even put thoughts in your brain.
Great trolling comrade but I've got shit to do. I'm sure anyone with a light in their mind will get what I'm saying.

Uprooted cultureless parisian mutt projecting his own vacuity onto others. There still are hundreds of thousands of people who speak a regional language at home, and people who live in places with an actual soul do think borders matter, being from a certain side of a river or a certain valley is part of identity like family and language. The fact that you cannot conceive of this as being true is sad more than anything else. It's like you were culturally circumcised and you're defending your mutilated identity as a normal thing.

A French woman – Marianne carbon copy – stole my heart and never gave it back.
To her defense, she did not know that.
To my defense, I didn't asked for it back.

What's with that obsession with the Jews, man? They're 0.00something% of the population.
I'm Alsatian. I speak a little bit of the dialect.
You're Russian, you don't even speak French. What the fuck.

Montre-moi où j'ai parlé des youtrons, enculé. Ah t'es Alsacien ? Mais je croyais que l'identité et les frontières régionales n'avaient aucun sens? Faudrait savoir... T'es complètement abruti comme tous les citadins gavés à France Inter, avec cette paranoïa dans laquelle les gens qui ne sont pas des amputés de l'âme sont des agents russes
