What does the “"Really want to piss them off"” meme mean?
The meme expresses a deliberate desire to annoy or provoke a specific group, here the recalcitrants. It illustrates an authoritative or provocative stance, presented as a deliberate political strategy. The underlying emotion mixes frustration with opposition and determination to impose one's vision, even if it irritates public opinion.
Where does the “"Really want to piss them off"” meme come from?
The phrase comes from an interview between Emmanuel Macron and seven readers of the daily newspaper Le Parisien-Aujourd’hui en France, which took place on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, for over two hours.[2] The publication took place on January 5, 2022.[1][3] The president was answering questions about the health crisis and people unvaccinated against Covid-19.[3][4] He stated: "The unvaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And so we will continue to do so, right to the end. That is the strategy."[3][4] The term "emmerder" was presented as an echo to a formula attributed to Georges Pompidou: "You must not piss off the French."[4] The phrase was not filmed: the available video shows a journalist from Le Parisien recounting the scene, not Macron speaking these words.[1] The meme associates this quote with the year 2022 to recall the controversy sparked by these remarks, which were widely covered in the press and fueled debates on the vaccine pass.[1][5] Its usage is generally ironic or polemical: the formula serves to represent a deliberate willingness to thwart a group "right to the end." The precise origin of the meme's graphic format, its first publication, and its dissemination platform are unknown.
