Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



oh no how will president jupiter, the savior of centrist neoliberalism cope? :ohdear:

A few years back i saw some sort of flowchart of different labor union tendencies and it mostly stuck with me because the french tendency was "is there a problem? Yes -> strike. No -> Strike anyway"

Everyone is broke as gently caress and the president says "what if we make it more expensive to get basic necessities instead of taxing the rich? Also austerity good."

economic jiu jitsu to increase taxes on the upper middle class and poor, but somehow massively decrease it on the rich and mildly on the middle to ensure it passes

quote:

There are many people who believe the fuel and inspection taxes are the right way to encourage people to purchase more fuel-efficient cars. If we keep doing this, said a friend pointing to a car belching black soot, our children won’t be able to breathe unfiltered air by the time they’re our age. Ordinary French counter they’d love to buy hybrids or electric cars but the vast majority of people can’t afford new cars, despite government subsidies, or they wouldn’t be driving decade-old jalopies.

What separates this from the usual screeds in the US is that both sides have a valid point. The world can’t afford to keep polluting at current levels andeverybody can’t afford new cars.

putting the onus and financial pressure for climate change on the poor is gross as gently caress

The coverage of that stuff in Portugal is something else bc you have Sic (RW-owned tv station) doing a weird stance of "We're horrified at the France riots, being done by everyone we fear, but we also want that to happen here since our fuel taxes are higher (While glossing over like, EVERYTHING ELSE like the tax decreases and the crackdown on a lot of poo poo) and gently caress even having a single yellow vest person complete a sentence here (Down to mocking them for not voting Macron and for using such a lame uniform!)" while our state-owned broadcaster... actually asked the protesters about stuff. Not necessarily siding, but actually giving a run down on what lead to it.
