Maybe if you people were's inherently supremacist they would have done something
Don't worry, France had plenty of other convicts in office... I wish they'd all get their due but the system isn't nearly harsh enough.
I am really hoping this will mark the end of the EU shifting right. We're much better off in the center.
The center is Ursula von der leyen who's notoriously in bed with the defense industry and is currently telling us to buy weapons to fight the Russians. Yea right
So you're saying we are better off if the EU shifts further right? Or do you mean if we shift left and stop in the center that wouldn't be good enough?
The center will lead to the alt-right again. Look at Bayrou who talk about "subversion migratoire", Darmanin telling lepen she's soft on imigrants or even Macron rolling the red carpet for the alt-right.
( Note : liberals are not leftist in Europe, they are center right, the left would be socialist ) Outside of France it's the same, liberals are all too happy to welcome fascist if it help protect the establishment. In France we even have a saying for that : "Plutôt Hitler que les Front populaire" ( meaning people in power would prefer Nazi to a change in hierarchy, "Rather Hitler than the popular front" ).
All of that to say, don't hope centrist will do anything other than open the door when fascism come.
liberals are not leftists here in the US either xF they are practically right of centre right....
but yea centrism Is a disease unless you're center left which imo is the one true path
Lol, no.
Alt-right is already declaring her a martyr and firing up their base. Even Russia chimed in, proclaiming European democracies as fake now. With absolutely zero self-awareness. Navalny-who?
I refuse to believe they lack self awareness. They just choose to embrace the hypocrisy in order to fuck with us.
You mean countries not named USA hold people accountable for their actions? Take note magats.
