macron and most other corporate centrists are just slow deterioration of the status quo which is still leagues better than a literal nazi.

its just the longer the deterioration happens, the more people want to toss a brick through the window.

you can avoid that happening, or pray to loving god the nazi isn't the populace's brick of choice when the time comes.

Yeah its a tough call. The nuclear bomb is by far the greatest technological invention, the only machine to create peace.

But the state was invented thousands of years ago and all human progress and achievement including nuclear bombs have been made possible by it.

I ran the google maps eyeball test in some of the heaviest Le Pen areas like Aisne and the north part of Haute-Marne and they don't seems nearly as visibly lovely as just about any part of rural America.

The only regions of western Europe that really come close to the worst parts of America in terms of poverty are sections of England and Wales. There were a number of great articles after the brexit vote about people in some of the most pro-leave sections of the country finding out their local economy is literally being propped up by EU grants

I admire her as a person even if I don't admire her politics. She looks as prime-ministerial as a person possibly can. She's magnificent.



She seems very earnest and hard-working. She spent an almost unprecedentedly long time in one of the most demanding and vitally important roles in the British government, Home Secretary, and parlayed that into leadership of her whole nation.

The fact that she and nigel farage are some of the most effective and influential britons in a generation is not an indictment of them, it is an indictment of britain.

“I have the impression sometimes that our British friends, not all of them, do underestimate the technical difficulties we have to face,” he said, adding that May had told him in response to each of his questions about the future: “Be patient and ambitious.”

On Britain’s divorce bill, the EU delegation, which estimates Britain’s liabilities to be about €60bn (£51bn), are said to have told May over dinner that the UK had entered commitments with every passed budget and the bloc was not a golf club that could be easily joined or left. The EU, they said, was like a family, and Brexit should be treated as a divorce.

...

“Let us make Brexit a success,” May is said to have beseeched the commission president. According to the German newspaper, Juncker said while he wanted an orderly exit, not chaos, after Britain withdraws from the EU in 2019, it would be a third country state for the EU, adding: “Brexit cannot be a success.”

It is also claimed that Juncker pulled out copies of Croatia’s accession treaty and the recently agreed Canadian free trade deal, which is more than 2,000 pages long, weighing 6kg (13lbs) in total, to point out the complexity of what was to come.
