    From the way I can find nothing current on the protests right now I can only assume they are going strong and the media is not reporting on it.

    Macron acknowledged people felt there was “injustice” in being asked to work longer while companies made record profits and he would look to ensure they contribute more.

    :soviet-hmm: Why would the leader of a "democratic" government be able to subvert democracy to pass a bill that harms workers, but be unable to subvert democracy to simply tax the corporations more instead?

      So my dick was porn sized in middle school not yet fully the monster it is today and I got a boner in class and my teacher saw it when I stood up and her eyes got really big and pretended not to see it, so I went up and asked her a question and she wouldn’t look at me. Probably turned her into a pedo at the sight of it. Oh and my name is Emmanuel Macron.

    While he brags about having to spend bilions to arm FUCKING NAZIS in Ukraine. Luckily, France has a tool to help relieve strained leaders of their "burden" :gui-better:

    Do you think I enjoy doing this? Do you think I was moaning under my breath when overriding parliament? That my nipples exploded with delight when the protests broke out?

    Gotta love the logic of capital necessitating ever higher profits into forcing the workers to work longer and longer hours and years for competitiveness' sake, encouraging natalism to always have an ample pool of reserve soldiers of labor and viewing a situation where there's less companies at a certain point, less products than the year before perhaps as the greatest disaster possible.

    Losing that competitiveness being the worst thing imaginable, of course, because products from countries that do these things eventually drive local producers out of business or whatever.

    For capitalists, cooperation is a baffling idea and constant and ever faster growth is necessary to satisfy arrogant fools who think they're superheroes like Elon Musk. Of course being aided by the imperial labor aristocracy who's been propagandized all life that their quality of life is due to getting more and more shit each year. And the best thing is how they intend to do this forever.

    Resource peak? Population peak? It's time for colonialism! Either the yet unviable space parasite method or the turning of imperialism inwards and outwards.

    Depleted soil, no more ores, addictions everywhere, mental health crises, 2,5°C global heating? Who cares, the CEO of Corporation B is driving MY our profits down, we gotta do something!

    The post-1990 stage of capitalism is enduring humiliation after humiliation
