Cheers.  Just wish my FB buddies were a little less defensive about this stuff. I'm asking what makes this person a Nazi because I genuinely don't know much about them. Why is that such a weird thing for people.

Le Pen is also staunchly anti-globalization, much like the people protesting her now were up until a year or so ago. Now globalization is peachy keen as far as the left are concerned simply because the right don't like it.

sneakyfrog posted:well put. Also of note - she took over party leadership from her dad, Jean-Marie Le Pen, whose slogan was "France for the French", denied the Holocaust (eventually changing his tone to say it was a "minor footnote"), and verbally abused and attacked minorities. Marine's basically whitewashed the party a little, like changing the slogan to "France First", but there's a still a strong fascist undercurrent there.

Is it wrong to think that Le Pen's failure may have at least partially been due to people who were on the fence about electing a white nationalist "fascist lite" seeing what happened when America did it and not wanting to pull the same stunt?

It's probably due to Macron basically coming out of nowhere and the Russians not having enough material to work with in order to sink him. See also that limp-dick 11th hour dump of hacked campaign files. The Trump thing probably helped though.

I think this is a very safe bet. The US is very much the world's current example of what not to do.

If that's your take on it, you're probably not interested in reality, but I'm not going to let this nonsense stand for anyone else who happens to be reading. The left has opposed and will continue to oppose international systems of economic exploitation. The left has generally favored organizations of political cooperation such as the UN. The EU has both political and economic implications, so many on the left will have mixed feelings about it, but they will consistently be in favor of institutions that reduce conflict between nations and against institutions that destroy labor and weaken the middle and working classes. The inconsistency is only in your mind.

Heard on the news that there is already a protest against Macrons potentially "expansionist" economic policies planned for this week. They interviewed some people who were organizing it and they said they all voted for him so that Le Pen wouldn't win.

Crossposting from the cosplay thread: A dude in Australia made a full Iron Man costume so he could visit kids in hospital and cheer them up. It's got all the lights, a mouth control in the helmet that lifts the visor, a voice changer that automatically starts when the visor closes and a few more tricks. Here he is at a Starlight foundation charity fundraiser where he walked around in the suit for 3 hours:  http://imgur.com/gallery/vJybi Oh and he made the suit out of steel, it weighs 37kg (81.5 lbs)  It took him 3 years to finish the project, he had to go on a crazy crash diet earlier this year because he'd put on some weight and he didn't fit in the suit any more.  His imgur gallery: http://imgur.com/user/barryarmstead/submitted

I don't have any images from the same angle as the cloud, but I do have this:  Anyone have that story about the time some SR-71 pilots were going to do a low altitude fly-by and narrowly missed crashing into the spectators? Got out of it doing a full burn and gave the people one hell of a show, according to the story?
