Three of his staff are being investigated (not him), the investigation was started after a pal of Marine Le Pen asked prosecutors to do so.

the thing about Macron is he is absolutely the gateway to a genuine fascist like Le Pen taking power, because as people's lives grow more miserable under his political project of manufacturing a dystopia subservient to the whims of capital all the while the pundit class laps him up as the new "leader of the free world," people grow disillusioned and detached from the government as an entity that exists in subservience to its citizenry. people disengage from elections, turnout drops, and in that dystopia the cesspool which allows racist hucksterism and fascist discourse to breed begins to grow.

the people see government as a tool to maintain the rule of out of touch elites, and a huckster like trump or Le pen can come along and rally enough people with their fascist populism to take power after voter turnout plummets.

tl;dr macron succ

Fallen Hamprince posted:

it's in the context of a proposed 'marshal plan for africa', where macron is explaining why development is not as simple as dumping money on poor countries to build highways and airports. condiv is shocked that macron does not take the opportunity to go on a 5000 word monologue about the legacy of colonialism, because condiv is a moron

it's just amazing what macron is reducing centrists to, reveals how little they care about anything aside from wall street and killing lots of people in wars

Emmanuel Macron: Speaks French, born in France, lived entire life in France, is President of France.

Eve Peyser: Went to Oberlin, where she presumably watched at least one english-language adaptation of Les Mis

Not sure which of these two has a better grasp on French history and political culture.

funny how when people get the notion that they're getting hosed no matter who wins an election, and a candidate takes no actions towards the relief of those fears, those people stay home.

Maybe it's because they become unemployed if they take the time off to vote.

the Democrats alternative to a fascist nightmare are spineless candidates with a policy platform so weak and flimsy that it can be easily dismantled by private interests, and yes I am talking about Obamacare, thus not safeguarding democracy from a fascist nightmare at all so they can terrify people into voting D every 4 years.

look just how far that's go- *giant map of elected democrats across America unfolds revealing fringe party with little more than bicoastal metropolitan safeholds* I mean uh it's the fault of leftists not submitting to the whims of capital, clearly this is the problem
