No kidding: they spinned that one in France: “islamo-gauchiste” (something like “islam-leftist”). For real!

In a wild area untouched by humans, there is not much “unwanted” you could get from grazing.

Assuming people upload their code to fix it, that means it’s non working code. Great training material!

I’m joking but I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t think that through…

Come on! We have ALWAYS been at war with Eastasia!

You know, thinking back about how big the number is, it’s probably both.

Well, the survey does not show the distribution of answers. So my guess (it’s a guess, not data) is the people living in densely populated areas answered lower numbers, and people living in rural or remote areas ridiculously overestimated the number of trans people based on how much of a big “issue” medias are making of them.

Unfortunately France is only lagging behind, but on the same authoritarian path.

First thing done after terrorist attack: declare emergency state, a tool designed for cases where the state is at risk of collapsing because of invasion by a foreing country or violent insurrection…

The police gains the power to assign people considered at risk at their residence. Very first use: assign climate activists at residence during the COP.

Emergency state is reconducted multiple times without any rationale, other than vague “terrorist threat”.

One of the first actions from Macron once in power was to make it permanent, by passing its key elements in the law.

Protests against anti-social policies or for climate are now systematically met with a violent response. People come out with an eye or a hand missing due to flashballs and lacrymo grenades. Answer from the government is something like “they had it coming”.

Cases of activists and journalists intimidation by law enforcement are multiplying.

Give it a bit of time, and France will catch up.

Same spin on all people calling for an end of war since Netanyahu decided that being against the genocide was antisemitic.

Same shit when any individual with an even remote arabian origin needs time and again to formally condemn islamist terrorist attacks, otherwise they’re instantly labeled terrorist supporters or some shit.

So be prepared to read a lot about “ambiguous position” on antisemitism because no matter what he says or does, they need to slap that label on him.

Yeah, that’s what the rest of us try to convince ourself so that we can cope with it. That or the idea that these people must sleep very poorly thinking about what they’ve done, while we’re actually the ones who have poor sleep thinking about what they’ve done and feeling powerless.

“Oh yeah, that’s definitely settled: John has the biggest one! Ok folks, zip up before they realize what we’re doing!”
