lol yeah that article that simultaneously realizes that the reason the capitalist class is so pro-immigrant is because they're easier to exploit and yet still paints them as mustache-twirling villains plotting with the globalists to destroy white people is definitely spot-on. it's totally not 90% a guy farting into his own mouth mixed with some assertions about the politically-destabilizing impact of late stage capitalism on the working class that like 1200 articles have been written about since 9-8-16.

it doesn't depict them as anything of the sort

like to the extent that i'm worried you may have hallucinated while reading the article

if a welfare state is so good how come everyone in europe is like "we don't want this anymore, there are too many muslims"

the first of those two articles contends that social spending mostly goes to subsidize cheap labor by immigrants while education mostly benefits the already wealthy

in the French context anyhow

although as far as i'm aware lots of Europe is still happy with the welfare state, like no one is complaining about not wanting health care

macron was revealed to have said that the bottle of american champagne he got from obama was "not that bad"

Honestly, without being fluent in French and seeing the original, I would assume he was damning it with devastatingly witty faint praise.

i wish more socialist leaders were like sankara, ideally they'd all be deposed before they got the chance to commit mass murder

that would just encourage the next socialist leader to enact purges more quickly and efficiently

Actually, reading that, the imperative that the plan must use public-private partnerships is the most hilarious part.

"It's kind of hypocritical to expect developing nations to not pollute as much as we did in the course of development.

Also it's really important that they not use nationalized industries like we did, or worse, to recreate the rapid development of socialist nations which was so dramatic that it shook confidence in capitalism in the mid- 20th Century."
