    Please stop calling Macron’s party centrist. It’s right wing and has always been, regardless of what they pretend.

    I get that the French weren’t a fan of the Nazi invasion, but avoiding it happening again by pre-empting it with their own Nazi rule isn’t the best option.

    National Rally are basically the French equivalent of the British National Party, and they are right wing as fuck.

    When they’re leading in the polls, you know that Sarkozy, Hollande and Macron fucked up hard.

    “Those people are dangerous, so we need to make a government that kills people.” The world is willing to burn because a few people who are different exist nearby.

      Yes, but the moment you tighten immigration and say stuff like we can’t help everyone, the radical left immediately brands you a nazi, same as the constant harping about centrists.

      In the end there are problems with migrants and these need to be adressed. Povery Beiing an important one, but culture and language as well.

      At the same time you also need to not forget the smaller towns. Once bus service stops and the last local grocery store closes, it’s dead. So then what. People left there feel forgotten, because they are. The free market deemed them unprofitable and left them behind.

        Exactly. That’s what’s happened in Denmark. The facts speak for themselves.

        This website is so extremist even the you talking about why this is happening is being down voted. This website doesn’t not like anything that exists outside of their bubble.

          You know just because you claim that something is true it doesn’t automatically mean that what you say is actually true and the only thing I see in Denmark is a country where the social democrats talk and make policy like the far right. Putting people in camps and stealing their jewelry because they’re not desirable for society, I hope you don’t mind me making the comparison to the Nazis.

    The real news is that Melenchon has finally managed to make it to the second round. And the question now is whether Macron’s voters are as compromised about stopping fascism as they’ve claimed for years to the point that they’ll vote to *horrified gasp* raise their taxes.
