Don't forget to show my shitposts to the people. They're well worth seeing.

It rules that there are multiple world leaders where "they're trying to get owned on purpose" is at least plausible as an explanation for their actions

the centrist narrative is that innocent macron wanted to help combat climate change but the evil horseshoe both sides wouldn't let him

France has a better W/L record than the USA, the USA would have lost its revolution without France's help, and Napoleon existed.

The concept of the French being bad at war just because Germany lucked out and encircled their troops in WW2 is pretty dumb.

remember when woke liberals/centrists/idiots on here were telling us that we had to vote for macron

"Listen socialist, you have to vote for the predatory liberal capitalist that will take everything from you over the racist predatory capitalist that will take everything from you. I'm also a woke progressive."

Japan isn't exactly "western" but in the late 1960s the government seized the land of a bunch of local farmers to build an airport, and then they formed an alliance with New Left students and spent decades fighting the government with them and although the airport was eventually opened after years of delays (including one case where protestors barricaded themselves in the control tower and then proceeded to destroy all their loving equipment), its still only a third of the size originally planned and you had to present legal ID to enter for security reasons until just 2010

I've looked at a lot of these airport protests (2 in Canada in particular) and the pushback against airport projects often relied on a sometime tenuous alliance between farmers and activists. Narita is probably the most bloody, the airport near Nantes that spawned Zone a Defendre is probably one of the longest running. The Thames Estuary airport did spawn some pretty incredible protests in Britain like Over Our Dead Bodies.
