They're written in French and most questions are regular reading and listening comprehension stuff. Nothing that should be posted ITT.
If you want to see something much worse, here is the 2022 French Baccalaureat (the exam students have to pass when they finish high school, usually required for uni/college etc.).



1) Using two arguments, prove that work is a source of social integration.
2) Using an example, prove that innovation can help push past the ecological limits of growth.
3) Using an example, demonstrate how the State acting in favor of social justice could have perverse effects.

Not screened : another question worth 10 points where you have to prove that actually, social classes don't really exist / are an outdated concept.

It goes without saying that modifying any of those questions would automatically fail the entire class.

ah! you're an anarcho-primivist. an anti-humanist, actively rooting for historical obliteration. i'm a communist - i couldn't give a rats rear end about your silly hippie bullshit. the change i wish to see is again - unpostable.

you're not outside of the capitalist system, no matter how back to nature your tribe gets. there is no outside, and pretending otherwise is just lying to yourself.

but your smug bullshit makes more sense now. you're operating off of unquestioned liberal moralisms and you don't have a sufficiently materialist understanding of the world you live in. again, i'll redirect you to my site. it'll help!

i do wish that there was a way for me to be around for that post-cliff moment you anprims realize there ain't gonna be much of anything to hunt or gather.

a landian! i liked him before he went off the deep end. any current stuff of his you recommend?

i am not the domevid guy, whoever who/she/they is. i've just watched it a bunch cuz it's been really helpful. wanna thank whoever did it.

e: quick critique of the land quote - he's doing what eco-reactionaries tend to do, and reducing the transcendental/symbolic/historical dimension down to bio-mechanisms. a quintessentially bourgeois/aristocrat move - but at least he's honest about it.

land really is the ultimate expression of capitalist logics taken to all the way to the end - an immediate and direct mouthpiece for capital itself. if you ever want to experience how capital thinks, he's the guy to read.

i like you car hater. and i also hate cars.

*takes some deep breaths*

you're right. it's the other way 'out' (like snowpiercer!) but i'll never be able to let myself believe that it could ever be 'out'. what's the difference between anprim and like, white core-settlers going camping on the weekends? it fulfills the same function, satisfies the same urge. escape.

but there is no escape. chasing that all the way the bitter end, accepting it absolutely, and turning back around claws out teeth bared - that is liberation. or as close as we can get.

towards the unpostable!

AN UNUSUALLY EARLY heatwave brought extreme temperatures today to a large swath of Spain, putting the whole month of May on track to be the hottest this century.

Spain’s meteorological agency AEMET said the heatwave, caused by a mass of hot air coming from North Africa, had produced high temperatures up to 15 degrees Celsius above the seasonal average.

The worst-hit regions are Andalusia in the south, Extremadura in the southeast, Madrid and Castilla La Mancha in the centre and Aragon in the northeast.

Temperatures are expected to hit 39 degrees Celsius in Zaragoza in the northeast, 38 degrees in Seville in the south and 34 degrees in Madrid, sizzling conditions more usually seen in mid-summer than mid-May.

Heatwaves have become more likely due to climate change, scientists say.

As global temperatures rise over time, heatwaves are predicted to become more frequent and intense, and their impacts more widespread.

The Spanish health ministry urged residents to drink plenty of water, reduce physical activity and stay in cool places “as much as possible”.

Eric Solis, 32, who was visiting Madrid from the United States, said the heat was “a little bit concerning” and “not too convenient for tourists”.

“I was expecting a little bit cooler, fresher weather,” he told AFP.

The southern city of Jaen recorded a high of 38.7 degrees Celsius yesterday, its highest temperature for the month of May since 1883 and 15 degrees Celsius above the average high for this time of the year, said AEMET spokesman Ruben del Campo.

The month of May has been “very hot, much more than normal,” he told AFP.

“In 2015 we had an exceptionally warm month of May, it broke all sorts of records, and it seemed at the that time that a similar situation could not be repeated. It has been just seven years,” he added.

Del Campo said the meteorological agency will have to wait until the end of the month to know if it is the hottest month of May of the 21st century.

It broke the previous record from 7 years ago that for some reason people thought could not be repeated, but also tourists find it inconvenient

In early May, he expressed concerns that Google might discover his plan for violence in messages sent on the private Discord server. “Ok I’m a bit stressed that a google worker is going to see my manifesto gently caress,” he wrote. “WHY did I write it on google docs I should have had some other solution.” Unfortunately, those concerns were unfounded. After the shooting, Google did remove the document for violating its terms of service.
