Once you hit realpolitik discourse, Françafrique is seen as a powerful asset for France that keeps us from being even more irrelevant than we are on the international stage, pretty much. There's also the usual arguments about helping with development through mutually beneficial partnerships, keeping order, how much of a shitshow Africa is, and how we're doing good there if you think about it, blablabla, and the various military operations against islamists strengthen that particular optic. There's also the simmering anxiety about China taking over the family business, which gets you into discussions over geopolitics and the coming evolution of global capitalism. Occasionally some corrupt African stateman gets in trouble and the curtain is lifted just a little bit (Sarkozy's still having problems with the judiciary over his relationship with Gaddafi, for example), and the Rwandan genocide in particular occasionally gets retrospectives that shed a little light over just what the gently caress we were doing during that time, but it's all rather difficult to parse. There's a lot of poo poo we'll probably never know. Squalid posted:or maybe someone can tell me what the far left says in their own publications? What's the French version of Jacobin Magazine? Do you read French? Not sure if there's a one-to-one comparison. Mediapart and Le Canard Enchaîné do good investigative journalism, though only the former is properly leftist. There's also regular left-wing newspapers like L'Humanité, Bastamag or Politis, and if you want long-form essays there's also La Revue Du Crieur which only releases issues thrice a year. Your best shot on the subject is probably Le Monde Diplomatique*, which focuses on international news and is generally both relatively leftist and well-researched, through it's not as radical as Jacobin. Don't confuse it with Le Monde, though, which is a den of useless libs. *Would you look at that: They just released an issue on the very topic you're looking for. Doesn't seem to be available in English though. YaketySass fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jun 12, 2019 |

punk rebel ecks posted:I see. What are French comic books like? Are they distinctly different the same way Japanese comics are different from American? A lot less superhero stuff, the equivalent would probably be a poo poo ton of fantasy/scifi/adventure/thriller comics (which are probably the main popular medium for our own production in these genres, as live-action is hardly up to the task without the appropriate budget). There's also a lot in the way of lowbrow humor comics. "Serious" comics are fairly well-represented, you can pick up documentaries, historical fiction, slice-of-life, or otherwise experimental stuff. Then there's all the production specifically aimed at kids, which I'd say is near comparable in volume to adult stuff. Lots of classic series like Asterix and the likes are still in production under younger authors, YMMV if they're still worth a look. There's also been several movie adaptations that have mostly been loving abysmal, but that doesn't seem to stop producers from trying. Manga (and anime) are very popular, though it's more of a generational thing (we had an hilarious moral panic over "dumb violent japanese trash" a few decades ago). American comics seem to be more of a crusty nerd hobby, though if you're in an adult into comics at all you've probably heard of/read things like Saga, a few graphic novels and similar series that can be considered alternative.

punk rebel ecks posted:Wow, all this looks awesome. Thanks for the responses. Censorship wasn't as bad (though still pretty bad) so it maintained a diverse artistic community instead of being massively dominated by one single genre, and live-action media are ludicrously expensive to produce outside of some narrow genres since we don't have anything comparable to Hollywood, whereas comics let you go hogwild with fantastical stories. You also have to take into account readership statistics in general, which have more complex evolutions. It's not without its problems: there's been some noise from artists over how difficult it is to live from your creations, given the massive work that goes into creating a single album and how little editors are willing to pay you in comparison. But  .

That sucks. Seems like making up an excuse is the best way to go if she's not in a position to confront them.100YrsofAttitude posted:I know France's take on racism is quite different from what I grew up with in New England, USA, but I thought blackface and it's like was frowned upon. Not as many people consider it offensive but I think mentalities are evolving on the issue. There was an online backlash a couple of days ago when employees from clothing company Le Slip Français got caught with videos of them in blackface (and doing monkey cries to go along with it, because of course). I expect that if these kinds of things get more visibility the usual clowns will grumble about how it's a sign of American campus political correctness corrupting our enlightened universalism or whatever. "Funny" personal anecdote: back in kindergarten they had us take part in a carnival with a Guadeloupe theme, and part of the costume included shoe polish on the face. Only they hosed up the color so you had hundreds of white kids parading in makeshift costumes, each one with a very vivid red-brown face. The idea of not using the polish apparently did not occur to any of the teachers. So yeah, I technically did blackface once. Feel free to cancel me.

Toplowtech posted:They cynically used the 49.3 knowing the coronavirus crisis would prevent massive protests. There were some protests against the reform during the manifestations for International Women's day, but nothing that big. Also it seems that even your run-of-the-mill feminist demonstrations aren't immune to the riot police these days, these psychos went charging and beat them up for "stepping out of the approved route" or some bullshit. https://twitter.com/search?q=%23MarcheF%C3%A9ministe%20%23violencespolicieres&src=typed_query&f=video Then again I suppose cops take the idea that domestic violence is bad pretty personally.

100YrsofAttitude posted:Thank you. Islamogauchisme seems slightly contradictory but I guess it’s just mixing all the flavors they love to hate. It's "lefties, antiracist militants (or anyone defending muslims in general) are useful idiots for terrorists and sharia law taking over France through a demographic takeover". Common accusations include: -They teach people to hate France and White French people for its colonial past, and racism in general. -They divide us over racial lines and promote self-segregation and self-rule of minorities by letting them have their own customs. The word used to be "communautarisme", but the right has upgraded it to "séparatisme", probably because the former stopped sounding scary enough. -They're pro-censorship and hate us for our freedom when the subject is deemed racist, as with the Charlie Hebdo cartoons (that have become a convenient "you're with us or against us" shibboleth). If you think the cartoons sucked you may as well have been leading the attacks yourself. -They're too soft on crime and terrorism and won't let the government expand the powers of the police and the surveillance state. Part of the fun is there's a lot of guilt by association going on, with political parties being accused of cozying up to minor antiracist organizations who themselves are accused of having ties to more radical or more conservative ones, up until you get politicians arguing everyone to their left is best buds with terrorism apologists.

It's also increasingly unseemly to talk of "police violence", because "society is violent" and it's hate speech against cops.pointsofdata posted:Everyone I speak to says that "everyone" hates Macron, which makes sense, but opinion polls seem to have him at ~40% approval. Is it just that the bar for political leaders is subterranean? The left really hates him for being the perfect example of everything they've warned about wrt to centrists, everyone else can occasionally criticize him to remind the electorate they exist, but they don't really have a problem with the authoritarian poo poo in itself except they don't get to do it themselves. The right's more busy pushing to reopen bars anyway. As far as the polls are concerned he still has a lot of Biden-style soft support and will probably keep it, and the combination of terrorism+covid means there's a lot of closing of ranks around the leader.
