Thanks to France we can finally put to bed the notion that people just need to vote harder.
Nothing to add to the discourse except when I saw the post title I thought it said "Marvel Unveils New Right-wing French Government"
France's public-sector deficit is projected to reach around 5.6% of GDP this year and go over 6% in 2025. The EU has a 3% limit on deficits.
This is why the EU has to be destroyed. These insane austerity freaks literally never learn no matter how many times austerity fails.
Hi dunk crew, before seeing this thread I didn't realize 'globalist' was specifically seen this way. In terms of referring to the global north extracting resources from and generally exploiting the global south, what's an easy to use and understand term besides settler/colonizer?
Throw it on the electoralism pile. I look forward to being fifty and explaining to the next generation of baby leftists about all of the times I've seen the rug get pulled on popular leftish sentiment.
You know those Hoi4 mods that have some milquetoast leftist like Bernie or William Z Foster as some sort of fascist or totalitarian communist?
Macron is the real world version of that.
lol leftists won the vote but was like "no" and put in a shit ton of fascists instead, lmao. Cool "democracy" mind if I fart on it?
You respond to a post about Macron working with Le Pen by saying that Le Pen is not a racist, but you call Macron a globalist?
Dude who's literally never read any sort of leftist news or theory smugging it up, using less-useful terminology than what we have, with a stupider worldview.

Imperialist, extractivist, capitalist, etc.
Although there's not really a 1:1 replacement for "globalist" seeing as the right-wing formulation is a flawed category to begin with.
95% sure BearOfaTime is responding to Macron being depicted as a demon
Yes Macron is a demon, but BearOfaTime is calling him Jewish (using the "globalist" dog whistle) and pointing to the emoji as proof that @SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net agrees (I'm sure he doesn't)
The alliance between centrist and conservative parties in the cabinet is not enough to pass legislation on its own.
It will depend on others, such as Marine Le Pen's far right National Rally to stay in power and get bills into law.
He has outflanked her to the right and chastised her on several issues for not going far enough.
I’m not even talking about policy. He made a bullshit alliance with the NPF to keep her out of power, she has every motivation to make him look pathetic when he comes begging her for votes.
It's a real (French word for potayto),(French word for potahto) situation.
