No no you don’t understand, using CCP is racist

🤭

Was he dumb, or did the Putin regime threaten him with nad consequences if he didn’t get in?

I don’t want to spread rumors or anything, but the stupidity theory sounds a bit fishy.

It’s a moment in history, not an inviolable truth, which is what the comment I’m replying to implies. The West went through the same horrors closely enough in time that some people are still alive to tell the story. And the US has no lesson to teach people in the middle East. In less than 300 years of history, they’ve been at peace for less than 20 years. And they’ve been in 100+ conflicts according to Wikipedia. Other imperial powers in the West and elsewhere have comparable track records.

The region would be more stable if it wasn’t for imperialists. They made the bed for various extremist groups, and the middle East is paying the price.

The situation is comparable to someone lighting a fire and saying that the house was always on fire.

I’m denying the racist point of view that there’s something in people from the region that cause wars, or that it’s something that will just be there forever because “it is what it is”. Effects have causes you need to understand if you’re going to speak about it.

Don’t make the mistake of confusing a moment in history with a “natural” affinity for wars. Humans period have been at war from millenia, not just Middle East humans. There’s nothing in their genomes that makes them more belligerent than other peoples around the world.

Don’t believe me? Look up the grand total of years of peace time in the US since it was created. Look at the death toll of both world wars. Look at the history of Europe, or that of precolombian America, of China…

Now, if the West, Russia and friends could stop meddling with their affairs…

It’s the opposite in my experience. Without the strong malty flavors and the body alcohol adds, NA IPAs are very often thin and hollow, and taste like herbal tea.

Alcohol-free Beck’s is amazing if you get something that’s not been conserved inappropriately

Any source on this I could read?

You chose the worst example to illustrate this. The left aligned and agreed on an ambitious list of reforms in record time, and they beat the far-right because of it. The biggest party in the leftist coalition withdrew a lot of candidates to keep the far-right out of power, and succeeded.

A left-wing alliance with Macron is impossible. If the left is supposed to do politics like right-wingers, what is even the point?

Shits on pseudoscientific dietary advice

Provides shitty dietary advice

What on Earth are you even blabbering about? The headline says the measure helped kids drink less soda. It fucking worked.

“They don’t care that what they want is not possible and/or doesn’t work.”

Oh and also, you might want to source your stats. A quick lookup gives me numbers that don’t match your claims: https://fr.statista.com/statistiques/473066/immigres-par-groupe-dage-france/

Also, please don’t be ridiculous. If you’re going to make bold claims, you’re going to be fact-checked.

Here’s a couple of examples: https://www.caminteresse.fr/societe/immigration-tout-ce-qui-a-change-sous-sarkozy-1128905/

I’ll update this post with more links later.

That’s literally what every French government has done for the past 30 years. But facts are not enough. You have to speak like the far right to convince. “Moderates” tried, but voters prefer the real thing to the copy.

They don’t care that what they want is not possible and/or doesn’t work.

He can’t be re-elected, and failed to secure an actual legacy.

Politics aren’t a game with winners and losers. When fascists rise to power, it’s not like in a soccer game where you say “well, better luck next year”.

People’s lives are on the line, and people might literally die fighting this shit soon. The idea that politics are a gentleman’s gentle verbal jousting club is pretty ridiculous.

About your enlightened centrist take about immigration… It’s never going to appease racists. What you suggest is exactly what France’s UMP and what Macron have done. Look where we are now.

I have honestly stopped buying tortillas when I learnt how crappy industrial tortillas are. I had no idea before that.

As the person who replied to you rightfully said, the persons you decry are mostly French, you said so yourself. The people you want to be “locked out” of the country cannot be deported - which country would they go to if they’re French and French only?

Your original point is wrong. Controlling immigration will do nothing to solve the insecurity RN voters perceive, because the North Africans they hate so much will still remain in France.

Fuck the guardian for lumping together fascists with leftist movements.

That, and their leverage is pretty weak. Small dogs bark the loudest.

Shittiest take of the year! Congrats!
