I didn't bother looking up the details of the French electoral system because they are due for a new republic any day now and we'll just have to learn the new system.

lol if you don't think she'll sell out her economically left plans almost immediately

It'll be like the Trump win where none of the crazy/exciting stuff happens and you just get a boilerplate right-wing agenda. She won't be able to do the wacky ethnic nationalism and will cave to austerity economics almost immediately.

The racism will still be there though, that'll survive any pivot

Racism is weird in that its ubiquitous but racists never seen to be able to get their policies implemented effectively. Then when they do in some limited measure it becomes an international disgrace. Like that child rape gulag Australia keeps migrants in, or Israel and... all the stuff they have going on.

"never" is a somewhat . . . limited view of history

I'm talking about contemporary politics for sure. Sorry if that wasn't clear.



Historically racism had a hell of a good run. And will probably be big in the Mad Max times to come.

both of these things are still going on

Yup. Any everybody except WP people think its shameful trash.


This is my view of white supremacism in general. They get their small victories. They shut off some immigration to one place for a short time. The beat someone up, or the cheer when the state tortures or murders a few people here and there. But in the end they never get what they want, because what they want is incoherent bullshit.

now i'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but we're looking at ten, twenty million dead- tops.


History: come for the millions dying all the time for no good reason. Stay for the witty thing that Napoleon said that time, and it was to his subordinates so they had to laugh.

thousands of refugees drown in the Mediterranean every year because of bloodless, sensible, immigration policy decisions

And the kind of people who celebrate that still think their country is turning into a caliphate.

No pleasing some people.

You can't transition from overt to covert racist. It only works in the other direction.

He went full Holocaust denial. You're supposed to go halfway like Marine and agree that the Holocaust happened but claim France wasn't culpable at all.
