- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Kinda crazy to me that he first pulls out the stops to block FN (their alt-right party), then later made overtures to them instead of the left wing. Like… fucking what.
Scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds.
Macron needs the electoral threat of a fascist majority to spur people towards his lukewarm liberal En March. He didn't anticipate that Mélenchon would command such a popular turnout. So now he's scrambling to reinflate the fascist boogeyman in hopes of pitting the far-right against the center-left. And, in the process, he's turning everyone against him.
Macron et co hate the far-right more than the left, but only barely. Once the far-right was no longer in danger of being in control, Macron felt safe to fuck over the left by going with a fellow neoliberal shill.
They actually hate the left more than the far right.
During this springs legislative campaign, they spent more time criticizing the left for being dangerous, proto-fascist and antisemitic than they spent criticizing the far-right for the same things.
Meanwhile a few far-right candidates were seen wearing nazi symbols or heard saying fascist stuff.
When choosing a prime minister, Macron chose one that the far right would approve (our National Assembly can refuse a prime minister and it's government) instead of one the left would approve.
Macron and his cronies are just simps for our millionaire and billionaire overlords, and they know the far right in France is more than ok with economical neoliberalism.
I really appreciate hearing from someone who is actually in France.
Also, have the moderates in France completely failed to understand history? Moderates cozying up to the far right is how we got the Nazis running Germany.
Same in France during WWII, centrist and a good part of the socialists gave full power to far-right military dictatorship
So yeah, some people in France would need a quick recap of the past century history
Governments the world over. They know who pays them more.
They hate them so much they even had dinners together!

Made me laugh. Thanks.
That only works so many times before you get buttfucked by the far right
Worked since like 1995 so far
Pretty sure Macron wanted the far right to win to hand over the country to them, even after they fucked up everything as they always do, he could come back saying that he's going to fix the country. When the left won, he just gave the power to the right anyway.
I mean, he's been implementing hard right policies all along, so...
Classic liberal move, history somewhat repeats itself. They'd rather have fascists than leftists in power.
It’ because fascists don’t endanger neolib capitalism, but leftists do
stalin, mao, min, castro ..... hmmmm i wonder why
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 ?
Who could forget the time FDR, Churchill, and Hitler met at Yalta to decide what to do with the defeated Soviet Russia?
And for the love of god, don't google any pictures of Nixon. Very real chance you're going to catch him shaking hands with some shady communist characters.
None of them electoral politicians, like the ones we're talking about here. Try again.
Sounds like you need to read more history, because, like… no.
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.
Most billionaires in europe!!1!
Ffs.
