There was a prison break in Guyana and there were fires and escapes

The Kremlin is framing this as a challenge to authority, and the BBC as a spectacle

Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.

You should see the Daily Stormer (far right/alt right blog or podcast or something)'s take on what Macron said. I don't even want to link or quote it because, obviously, it's racist as all hell, but they basically said "Macron's not being racist he's just talking common sense and everyone's triggered"

I agree.

Lots of ppl think work is inherently good, so good that you should consider yourself lucky for having the "opportunity" to work and that this opportunity is more than enough compensation for your time and effort. This is at least part of the reason why you see states subsidizing the conversion of entry level work to internships at for-profit corporations.

I always hear talk of jobs but why not careers? And why do we never talk about what kind of jobs?

because then state job reports fall apart and smug liberals can't make jokes about the coal mining industry (which at least in idealized times provided benefits and compensation better than anything people in mining towns could get anywhere else) employing less people than Arby's

For real though, what Macron said wasn't wrong because he identified high fecundity as a problem, it was wrong because he misrepresented how demographic transition works. He has the cause and effect backwards. Countries don't become developed because people decide to stop having kids; people stop having kids because countries become developed, and they don't feel like they need 7-8 dice rolls just to be sure two of them to survive to adulthood. That's how it happened in every developed country with a stable or declining population, and folks aren't gonna just spontaneously stop having kids because Jupiter said it would be nice.

yesh what he said wasnt racist, but it was loving useless. just a bunch of neoliberal platitudes that dont mean anything, while at the same time failing completely to address the horrible things europe did to africa, specially france who spent the latter half of the 20th century loving african countries up for no good reason. i mean jesus christ as recently as the ugandan genocide france was doing awful poo poo like backing up the genodicing militias and at one point even fighting the forces working to liberate uganda. what was missing from that horrid speec is any sort of reconigzition for the enormous debt the west owes africa. no instead its all about how its their fault and they should solve it

meanwhile corbyn actually does it right because unlike neoliberalism who was no solutions for anything and no intention of helping anyone, leftism has actual ways to address and try to solve the problem
