Thanks for a good OP. As an "expat" in Belgium, the europol thread has been a good source during the election, here's to more of that. Deltasquid posted:Hahaha. Okay, good. I hope she gets to sit the next years out in the shadows and keeps upsetting her dad. Yeah, she's back in her box for 5 more years. She'll be on the front page from time to time, when she comes up with something outrageous enough, or when an FN mayor does something stupid again. Or you know, if she gets convicted for her EU shenanigans...

It might be the only way for both of them to exist politically for 5 years, a good case of mutually assured publicity. Meluche has already started with the "say stupid poo poo to get some attention" plan anyway. Can we get the guys from Fiscal Kombat to make a new game ? Call it Assemblée Fighters Vth Republic, you can chose between all minority leaders to fight to the death in front of journalists. In the background, a horde a faceless suits are busy burning union leaders at the stake using copies of the Code du travail as kindling.

Some researchers in social science from Toulouse have run the facebook pages of the gilets jaunes, the petition comments and the online articles on the movement through lexicometric analysis and have published a first report: https://www.scribd.com/document/394250648/Rapport-Gilets-Jaunes (from Arrêt sur Images ).  Turns out that (surprise) the movement is much more political than what's reported on Cnews/BFM, and not really using any far-right terms. This is a quantitative analysis though, so there could be surprises, but still, better than expected ? e: I can't imgur

Benjamin Cauchy, l’une des figures du mouvement a salué « une première étape ». Mais « les Français ne veulent pas des miettes, ils veulent la baguette au complet », a-t-il déclaré à l’AFP en réclamant des « états généraux de la fiscalité », « une nouvelle répartition des richesses en France » et l’instauration de « référendums réguliers sur les grands enjeux sociétaux ». Le moratoire est « une cacahuète », a estimé pour sa part Laetitia Dewall, porte-parole des « gilets jaunes » du Val-d’Oise.  Yeah, give us the whole baguette  .

Toplowtech posted:Okay, i may point out something but the magazine Marianne made an article recently about Macron's presidential bid donations and over half of it come from a group of just under 1000 french donators, a surprising number of them living in England (tax dodgers?), who maxed out their donation potential. So it kinda make sense he uses the BBC, really. For all their faults, France's grandes écoles/écoles préparatoires are quite good at producing people proficient with math/finance and used to overwork. And the City is quite good at recruiting them for finance jobs by offering them tons of gold (and a favorable tax scheme, indeed). Those people probably have a shrine to Jupiter in their living rooms and enough money to support him.

Also, this happened... on BFMTV of all places. Xavier Mathieu explains why the government is causing more violence by its own inaction, and that only fear drives them to negociate. Stanislas Guerini, majority leader of LREM, then confesses to browning his pants. https://player.vimeo.com/video/304876347 e: vimeo embed Llyd fucked around with this message at 12:19 on Dec 7, 2018 |

I'm a bit worried that Jupiter's crumbs are gonna be enough to mollify the movement though... I hope that at least it will have refreshed everyone's memory that political demonstrations and movements work, if you keep at it long and hard enough.

And there we go, the usual fuckers are calling for a stop of the movement. (might be behind a paywall) https://www.arretsurimages.net/chroniques/le-matinaute/alors-vous-enlevez-le-gilet posted:"Alors, vous l'enlevez, le gilet ?" Macron a à peine disparu des écrans, que les envoyés spéciaux se précipitent sur les rond-points. Là , maintenant, tout de suite, il faut délivrer son verdict, trancher, alors, oui ou non, vous repliez les tentes ?

Ah yes, the classic: we haven't explained it well enough, and even if we did, you cunts are too stupid to understand it anyhow. Ca va aider leur image de connards arrogants c'est certain. e: Even more funny when the only reason the gilets jaunes exist in the first place is because Macron et al have been so blatantly greedy and contemptuous.

https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Liguedulol A bunch of french journos were part of private facebook group named Ligue du Lol (LOL league) started circa 2010, and used it to launch coordinated attacks against women, feminists, jews, POCs and LGBTQs both online and IRL. 99% white males if you were wondering. They now write for papers like Liberation or Les Inrocks (the editor in chief...) which are generally progressive. The info got out this weekend, more and more victims testimonies are being published as we speak, and they paint a nasty picture. The guys involved have spent the weekend publishing half-assed "I'm sorry my humor hurt you" type excuses. Apparently they all left the group after 2 months and were all only passive observers, whereas victims talk about being harassed for years  .Also, purging their twitter accounts from the most incriminating stuff. https://twitter.com/LSpun/status/1094766998662406145 Really outdoing ourselves .

The results of the Vrai Débat are in, analyzed by the Toulouse scientists again. Turns out that for a bunch a violent rioters coming to eat your children, they make some pretty reasonable points (maybe even too reasonable, pas de 6ème), and are more politicized than what our glorious leader thinks. https://www.arretsurimages.net/articles/exclusif-gilets-jaunes-les-resultats-du-vrai-debat quote:ASI : - Dans votre rapport, vous expliquez que dans le cadre du Vrai débat, "l’objectif n’est plus de formuler des doléances, mais les termes de la négociation à venir". Vous remarquez aussi l'absence de posture "dégagiste"... Some trolls apparently also tried to push propositions to reestablish the death penalty and those got shut down hard. And... Frexit is also still in there. Report is here: https://www.scribd.com/document/403338803/Rapport-Vrai-Debat-Lerass-27-Mars-2019

Kassad posted:So a bunch of députés got a galaxy brain idea for a bill: There's probably a constitutional problem with this one, we will see if it passes the law commission. Kassad posted:Edit: And speaking of galaxy brain ideas... And voting laws forcing teachers to accept at least 2 hours of overtime per week. Also, if you didn't know, teachers overtime hours are paid less than normal hours, because the base hourly rate is based on the pay you get for your working days only. It's a mess but basically, instead of doing yearly pay/yearly hours, it's (yearly pay - holiday pay)/yearly hours.

I get that "Manuel Valls" means "Manuel Valls", "Barcelona" is probably "Barcelone", but for the life of me I can't figure out what "humiliació" means Minor quibble, that's Catalan, not Spanish (Castilian). In fact, as far as elections in Barcelona are concerned, that's a pretty major quibble.

And here we go, it turns out that the government (current and the ones before) is using the patrimoine budget as a buffer for other stuff, and that the general state of historical monuments in France is quite dire as a result. Apparently everyone in the know was expecting an incident like that sooner or later. What we need is a national campaign for the patrimoi.... ah, a tax-free donation scheme thing, right. https://www.cnews.fr/france/2019-04-16/incendie-de-notre-dame-les-specialistes-du-patrimoine-en-colere-831341 Also, do we think the reconstruction is going to go to the Compagnons or another appropriate organisation, or is Bouygues gonna get it ?

I'm moving back to the old country this summer after more than 10 years in Brussels. I'll be working some kind of IT consultancy job, very probably under Syntec. Any recommendations on a union I can join that does not suck majorly in that sector ? Maybe just whatever union is already there ?

Speaking of which, here are some links to share/use for the petition Aéroports de Paris. Here is a counter for the votes, with 5 to 7 days of delay given how the gov site works. Done by a member of la Quadrature du Net. (His code has to bypass 2 captchas to get the bloody info). http://adprip.fr/ And this site that has a complete FAQ and explanations on how to vote, share, participate. https://referendum-adp.fr/ And if you haven't yet, just loving vote.

Cat Mattress posted:Stupid thing has the wrong postal code for my town, preventing me from voting. Ah, be careful that it does not show the postal code but the Code Officiel Géographique, also known as the code commune. It's not aligned with the postal code but similar. Both are usually on the wikipedia page of you city.
