Hi! Just stopping by to say that your name is awesome and makes me laugh every time I see it
christ
Pretty sure that's Atlas

yeah but the guy he's empowering think he's christ
I don't think Atlas is empowering anything?
Atlas Needs a Hug. Its the lesser known sequel.
I guess the added text is optional then
Do you think western governments realize that there is a slowly growing disillusionment with democracy in their populations and that their increasingly erratic bullshit is feeding it?
As long as the politics in the crisis go right they'll be fine; it's just another round of primitive accumulation
I think they do, they just don't care. Why would they? They have offshores and backup houses and shit. Even in case of public unrest, it will most likely be anti-socialist, so the bourgeoisie will remain in power, even if some talking heads change
the disillusion isnt with democracy its with capitalism and capitalist being allowed to buy all the politicians.
Well, they are meant to be punished for it at the next election. The problem is the media makes everything a big scandal when not all of it is.
In this case he's subverting the will of the people, so he should be destroyed at the ballot. However the division and rise of the far right means it could short that way too. Those who shifted left last time might shift back having shown their discontent.
He's saying he doesn't want Parliament to have a no confidence vote, bit if there is non stable government as voted, that's what is supposed to happen. Then return for election again.
Those who shifted left last time might shift back having shown their discontent.
That's why he's doing it. He's hoping that voters become so disillusioned with the left at their inability to do anything due to macron blocking them that they'll vote moderate or right there next time around.
He's right and time is on his side; he simply needs to run out the clock
All the media I've seen blames Macron, not the left. So it could backfire. Just like his snap election did.
Progressive politics requires a window of opportunity between when things are so bad that people fall through the cracks and things being good enough to pretend that there are no cracks.
All macron has to do is wait and he will be justified in his machinations to disenfranchise the left and embrace the right
hindenburg coded decision
If France was the bad guy we would label this as an authoritarian regime that needs to be sanctioned and or color revolutioned
Its supposed to be Demoncracy there was a typo
Macron aiming to have RN in government to prove that they are bad in order to boost his chances for presidential reelection. Ended up having to cooperate in supporting a tiny right wing party along with RN meaning that his party will be equally blamed. RN can just grandstand in parliament and have the power to block legislation while being politically rehabilitated.
Masterful gambit Mr Macron.
He can't run for the next election, it's already his second term.
