      But if we put a rule in banning it, posters would just bypass the rule by crossposting through r/belgium

    3. The line worked as intended. It wasn’t its fault the Fr**nch Army was supposed to defend it

      The Maginot Line did it’s job as intended. You could say it was so good, the Germans had to go around it and attack another county. Which was barely an inconvenience for them and they basically did a speedrun on France, but still, the Maginot was effective.

      I don’t think it should be banned because there’s still a debate here for some reason.

      Even if it did “force” the Germans to go through Belgium (despite the fact that attacking through the Ardennes is what they literally did every time – [1870](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Sedan), [1914](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Battle_of_the_Marne), [1918](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_the_Marne), [1940](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_France), and [1944](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Bulge)) the result is still [a situation whereby Germany sets a trap that the French fall into and dooms the entire country](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manstein_Plan) and that is not a success no matter how you want to look at it.

      It should be a prohibition on all commonly repeated memes. I just saw the millionth Castle Itter meme today. This shit isn’t funny or interesting if it keeps coming up
