Oh yeah, because not wanting 90% of my country's media to belong to 10 people, or have proper taxation for richer folks, or good use of my tax euros for proper free health care and education for everyone make me a Stalinist.

I'd absolutely rather have billionaire fueled propaganda against brown people and the poor, all the while they eat lobster and literally burn the planet to the ground. At least that's not slightly leftist, right ?

Like the rich propping up fascists to keep their wealth and power ? That's completely unheard of right ? It's literally happening in France right now.

They hate them so much they even had dinners together!

Classic liberal move, history somewhat repeats itself. They'd rather have fascists than leftists in power.

You have to stomp faces to get to this kind of wealth, pretty much all billionaires have empathy issues, either from birth or acquired.

God was tripping balls that day

We don't need everyone to be 100% vegan all the time. It would be best, but that's not really possible for many many reasons.
We do need to reduce our consumption of animal products altogether for sure, even a 30% reduction worldwide would have an absolutely massive impact. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough.

Well he's a billionaire so he probably does have some already, what needs to be done is to make these accessible to the public and sell the data to private companies. Just to see how this fucks feels about it.

I'm not one to kink shame but always make sure the people you're involving in your kinks actually consent. What the fuck dude..

Asshole billionaire founder of asshole company Oracle. For reference, they sell cloud solutions and AI shit. What he says is that he wouldn't mind a totalitarian surveillance regime of us peasants to make a quick buck.

Oh no, my actions online have real life consequences... Who would have thought?

I'm currently on holidays in Slovenia and I'm loving every second of it (except maybe the inconsistent weather patterns that makes it really hard to plan a tent holiday).

They're talking about it but the media will turn it on its head and call them extremists that want to destroy democracy

And his reason not to nominate Castet got leaked: she wanted to get rid of his retirement reform.

He shat on democracy and our political traditions, wiped his ass with the constitution and is making us look at it and smell it.

Fuck him

What a fucking trooper, I can't even begin to imagine the strength it requires to go through with this.

I guess you could argue about all that in 2016, but we've seen what he did and what he's willing to do now, to be pretty fucking certain none of these things will ever happen under a republican president, and even less so under another Trump presidency.

He probably did too

You don't need to be an empire to be imperialistic. And you don't need to be part of said country to simp for/against them either.

Beautiful lake! There is also the Lac d'Aiguebelette just on the other side of the Massif de l'Epine which is just as gorgeous.

That's why you should never idolise anyone. Chomsky is brilliant but some of his positions are just imperialistic garbage.

And The Crow

Sounds a lot like France

Also why billionaires and industrials bought out so many different media over the years.

Democracy only works properly with good access to factual information and good education.

Si les propriétaires de multiples logements sont forcés à vendre leur biens par manque de rentabilité, ça fera forcément baisser les prix et rendra plus accessible l'achat à ceux qui n'avaient pas forcément les moyens d'acheter jusqu'à présent. Le logement ne devrait pas être vu comme une source de revenus, ça devrait être un droit.

Yeah but he has a cult behind him who takes every one of his words as gospel

Oh yeah you're right, I read that a few years ago and didn't question it as it made sense given the cost of each shuttle launch. Thanks for the info!

Propagande !

The space shuttles were different vehicles altogether, they needed three disposable parts to get to space. The SRB and the main tank were discarded after each use, they needed to be built from scratch every time.
It's not comparable to what Falcon can do, which is drop a payload in space, come back and fly again after a quick routine check and a refuel.

I love the space shuttle but it was a very different vehicle.

23 flights for a single rocket booster is absolutely mad. 30 years ago you'd have been called a madman for even suggesting it.

Par contre le fait que ce gouvernement démissionnaire nous pousse des décrets, des budgets et des lois à l'arrache c'est nouveau ou pas ?

Oh non, les pauvres propriétaires de multiples logements se font pas assez d'argent...

TLDR : la Cinquième République donne trop de pouvoirs à trop peu de gens, il serait temps de changer avant que quiconque en abuse.

Monsanto liée par contrat au gouvernement Américain. C'est le nouveau "we're just following orders" ?

What a fucking shit stain...

Si c'est pas volontaire c'est vraiment de la stupidité et de l'incompétence à une échelle jamais vue jusqu'à présent

Pour éviter les blocages aussi apparemment

Source? Trust me bro.

He's a big mouthed dude and he's got some questionable positions, especially when it comes to China and Russia. I'm not a big fan of him and his persona but he's also not completely wrong on a lot of subjects (moving away from the 5th republic, increasing taxation for the rich, welcoming refugees, funding of social services, etc).
Some people love to paint him as a Stalin/Pol pot/Mao to be, and as the other side of the extreme coin.
My biggest gripe with him is that LFI is his party and there's not much democracy in it. A lot of people got excluded because they dared to speak up, which is not a great outlook when trying to defend yourself from being an authoritarian party.

A lot of conservatives are happy to eat shit if they know that you'll just eat more of it
