So, I know nothing of French politics but I'm eager to learn. Why was Hollande considered such a failure? I actually had a bit of hope when I heard you guys had elected a left-winger back in the day.

because he was more an obama-style "left-winger"

It has nothing to do with Macron, and everything to do with exploding demographics being unsustainable. Doubling the population with every generation - how long can that work.

dealing with exploding demographics doesn't involve making it harder for parents to raise what children they have by taxing them punitively tho

women can't just unhave children

edit: but that's not what it says, cause taux is a false friend and it means rate, not tax. this is what they want:

"adopter des stratégies afin de « faciliter un déclin rapide, volontaire, de la fécondité grâce à l’accès universel à la planification familiale, l’augmentation du niveau d’éducation des femmes et le renforcement des efforts pour améliorer la survie de l’enfant. »" which means they want "to adopt strategies such as facilitating a rapid, voluntary decline of the birth rate through universal access to family planning, as well as improving the education level of women and reinforcing efforts for improving infant survival" if i'm reading it right

I don't know if this something anybody in France cares about but American Liberals seem to be all over the Trevor Noah/Gérard Araud tiff in a way that makes them seem more insufferable than usual.

i just looked it up cause i hadn't heard of it till now, and I saw this article about it: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/7/19/17590302/trevor-noah-france-french-ambassador-araud-world-cup

this article seems to masturbate a lot about the american subcultures retaining their identity, and shits on the idea of everyone who has french citizenship just being "french", but the idea of non-assimilation tolerance in america is just bs. only minorities hyphenate in the US. white people don't. If your parents are french and white and you are born in america, you're just an american, not a "french-american".Likewise, if your parents were black and french, and you were born in america, you're "african-american", not "french-american". moreover, if you're not black or white, then you can expect to hear "where are you from?" on a constant basis in america, even if you have a very typical accent for the area. and if you say "america", then the question will always come up "where are your parents from?"

JustJeff88 posted:

Other fun facts: America, despite having the second highest Jewish population (not per capita necessarily, just raw quantity) in the world (France is 3rd), there's still a healthy dollop of anti-semitism despite being and overwhelmingly Christian country who worships a Jewish carpenter as the son of God. I'm also a Brit who lives in the US, and my favourite kind of discrimination is that people assume that any British accent is an affectation in order to get people to like you, sound more cultured or what have you. Nothing more fun to me than spending years being mocked, alienated and on several occasions almost physically beaten for speaking slightly differently than the surrounding population only to be told by Americans who've never left the country that my accent is clearly put on and I'm just doing it in order to get sex.

In an admittedly weak defence of American society, anyone and everyone here who hasn't spent a long time in the US also needs to realise also that there are a lot of people in a country of 300+ million that don't perpetuate or accept racism and the like. I have a very cynical view of my adopted country of residence and freely admit that modern Britain is a festering pisshole of hatred for minorities, but I really want you to understand how many people are trying to make things better. Having said that, the one minority that America universally despises is the poor. Neoliberalism is the philosophy that the only good discrimination is economic discrimination. There may be a great deal of compassion for racial minorities and the like, but there is no significant trace of egalitarian economic policy or even compassion for the disenfranchised to be found here. The only two political parties of consequence here are "Poor people are lazy and so are blacks, which is why they are all poor" while the other is "It's wrong to hate a homeless black man for being black, but it's okay to hate him for being poor." This country despises the poor, even the so called "liberals". Economic discrimination is the one kind of discrimination here that everyone basically agrees is just fine. If you are getting flack for being an immigrant, black, a woman, a religious minority or the like, a lot of people will have your back, but poor people are universally lazy, stupid, corrupt, immoral and deserve all the misery that they get. The American leftist philosophy is that racism is a vile cultural construct - which I'm sure we'd all agree with - but poverty is a consequence of personal weakness and failings and not in any way the inevitable outcome of an economic system that concentrates wealth among those who need it the least, encourages people to applaud and emulate those who have amassed ludicrous amounts of wealth while millions suffer and demonizes the least powerful as lazy leeches on society rather than the victims that they are.

this is how US racism works. being in france, it's a little shocking to me sometimes how people are open about their racism compared to even oklahoma, but that doesn't mean the racism is worse in france on its own. the US has gotten incredibly good at hiding racism as hating other things that are "perfectly ok" to hate. such as being poor. or being a criminal. two things that minorities are likely to be cause our economic and justice systems are set up to make criminals and poor people out of minority groups.

yes, there are out and out racists in the US that will just say the bad words that make it obvious they're racists. but the smart ones have learned to keep that poo poo hidden behind closed doors and to oppress minority groups subtly. they've learned that if they do this, they can carry out their racism just fine without blowback
