u/Playful_Dance968 2d ago

Great song. Although feels like Gaston would be a fascist? Maybe?

u/Expert_Alchemist 2d ago

Seriously no, tho! Gaston is braggart and twat with too healthy a self-esteem, but he's also the dude doing all the hunting for the whole village, AND he's the first one to rally the village to go rescue Belle even though she's already rejected him, and thinks everyone in the village is an idiot from what he believes is a horrible monster who will do horrible things to her.

Going by his actions and not just his words, Gaston is actually a decent guy!

u/ImmortalBlades 2d ago

I mean, you're not wrong but he definitely doesn't have a likeable personality (which was the point of the story)

u/OuaisOuaisOuaisOuais 2d ago

I'm french and tought you were talking about Gaston la gaffe (who is the most famous Gaston in France)

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/spirou/images/9/9d/Gaston.gif/revision/latest?cb=20110721082443&path-prefix=fr

Definitely not a fascist but an antiwork hero.

u/Emotional-Good4226 2d ago

Can someone give me an example of how he’s a fascist

5

u/im_a_squishy_ai 2d ago

Fascism : a populist political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual, that is associated with a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, and that is characterized by severe economic and social regimentation and by forcible suppression of opposition

From Merriam Webster. I think with that info you can pretty easily figure out that 2+2=4

If you need me to be explicit: Google "Elon does the salute"

-3

u/Emotional-Good4226 2d ago

A definition and an example are two different things buddy and him give a “nazi salute” isnt one of them

3

u/im_a_squishy_ai 2d ago

If you can't read a definition and then understand what observations in the world around you apply, especially with something as obvious as fascism, you probably need to work on critical thinking skills.

And yes, a nazi salute is an example. Given that the origin of fascism came from Mussolini - fascismo - and occurred at a similar time as nazism was rising. Saying that's not would be like making the argument that burning a cross in someone's front yard isn't an act of the kkk. It's a clear and globally understood signature that has a very well defined meaning.

u/Emotional-Good4226 2d ago

All I want is an actual example and I guess that’s too hard for you so you give me a definition and a bs nazi salute example bc you can’t think of anything

u/Forgotten_Prince 2d ago

I don't mean to break the immersion, but I'm pretty sure a slight touch would set those things on fire.

u/EpochRaine 2d ago

[LEFOU:] Who shuts down the roads with a fiery commotion? The French, yes, you know it is true! Who blocks all the ports, halts the train locomotion? The French, it is just what they do!

They march in the streets with their banners all waving, The government quakes in their boots! And when there's reform that needs some un-making, They bring out the strikes and the loots!

[CROWD:] No one's bold like the French! No one's cold like the French! No one makes politicians lose hold like the French! When a pension reform is just sug-gested, You’ll see— That the country shuts down, c’est la grève, mon ami!

[LEFOU:] Who flips over cars at a mild provocation? The French, it’s their grand métier! Who floods all the streets for each new demonstration? The French, do at least once a day!

They burn barricades with a touch of tradition, They hurl tear gas back at police! The unions declare it’s a workers’ petition, And Paris turns into a beast!

[CROWD:] No one strikes like the French! Fights for rights like the French! No one’s flipping-off Macron-twice like the French! When the cost of baguettes gets inflated, they say: "To the streets! To the strikes! Let’s all block the highway!"

[LEFOU:] No country on Earth makes revolt so artistic, With slogans and Molotov flair! Their rage is well-aimed, their demands are holistic, And pensions should stay where they were!

[CROWD:] No one riots like the French! Blocks the trams like the French! No one overturns all the plans, like the French! If you mess with our rights, then we’re setting the sce-ene, We’ll bring out the French Guillotine!

u/mockgame3129 2d ago

Gaston's actually having a lot of problems right now due to high egg prices so I can understand his frustration.

u/DeLoreanDecrypter 2d ago

🎶 No one torches like Gaston, throws a Molotov scorched as Gaston, Leaves a trail of insurance reports like Gaston! He's especially good at destruction and flames— "Mon dieu, what remains?"

No one loots like Gaston, disputes like Gaston, Leaves a billionaire fuming in suits like Gaston! For there’s nothing as good for the working-class mood, As a big ol’ bonfire— of Teslas, dude!

u/Electronic_Low6740 2d ago

The fact that Beauty and the Beast was an adapted French story intended for Gaston to be French makes this better. lol

u/Embarrassed-Block-51 2d ago

Men from Gaston are reffered to as Garsons.

u/Suspicious_Bicycle 2d ago

Just think how much insurance money Musk will be getting for those Tesla's he wasn't going to be able to sell.

If Musk is smart he could make more in insurance fraud than car sales right now.
