I’m still trying to figure out what a “Vichy Conservative” is. The poster obviously didn’t like something about the post but surely didn’t state clearly what it was. Bringing something from previous threads perhaps?
Vichy France also known as Nazi France,[2] officially the French State (État français) was France during the regime of Marshal Philippe Pétain during World War II.
Vichy maintained full sovereignty only in the unoccupied southern Zone libre (”free zone”), while retaining limited authority in the Wehrmacht-occupied northern zone, the Zone occupée (”occupied zone”).
In November 1942, however, the Zone libre was also occupied, with Germany closely supervising all French officials.
Marshal Pétain collaborated with the German occupying forces in exchange for an agreement not to divide France between the Axis powers. Germany kept two million French soldiers in Germany as forced labourers to enforce its term. Vichy authorities aided in the rounding-up of Jews and other “undesirables”. At times in the colonies Vichy French military forces actively opposed the Allies.

Which is NOT what the author was expressing, but which advocates more of a mindset like a spiritual French Resistance,
“the collection of French resistance movements that fought against the Nazi German occupation of France and against the collaborationist Vichy régime during World War II.
Following the battle of France and the second French-German armistice, signed near Compiègne on 22 June 1940, life for many in France continued more or less normally at first, but soon the German occupation authorities and the collaborationist Vichy régime began to employ increasingly brutal and intimidating tactics to ensure the submission of the French population. Although the majority of civilians neither collaborated nor overtly resisted, the occupation of French territory[13][14] and the Germans’ draconian policies inspired a discontented minority to form paramilitary groups dedicated to both active and passive resistance.
The men and women of the Résistance came from all economic levels and political leanings of French society,...
After the landings in Normandy and Provence, the paramilitary components of the Résistance were organized more formally, into a hierarchy of operational units known, collectively, as the French Forces of the Interior (FFI). Estimated to have a strength of 100,000 in June 1944, the FFI grew rapidly, doubling by the following month, and reaching approximately 400,000 by October of that year.[8] Although the amalgamation of the FFI was, in some cases, fraught with political difficulties, it was ultimately successful, and it allowed France to rebuild a reasonably large army (1.2 million men) by VE Day in May 1945.
