Je n'aime pas Emmanuel Macron. C'est un type arrogant et qui a fait un certain nombre de grosses conneries. Mais il n'est pas pour autant d'extrême droite.

Laisser croire que Macron = Marine Lepen, c'est n'importe quoi.

Tiens c'est pour toi :

La principale différence entre toi et moi, c'est que je fais au moins l'effort de lire le contenu que je poste..... Tu te contente de poster des liens sans même prendre le temps de le consulter.

Ton premier lien porte entièrement sur le Rassemblement National.

Yes, we all need to collectively eat less red meat to reduce emissions enough so Felon musk can eat lunch in Paris 3 times a week

Actually, eating less red meat would also be great for our health:

We need to tax oligarchs and eat a bit less red meat.

It's not one or the other.

To be clear. This is a government agency endorsing the software as safe and effective. So bureaucrats and employees can't be reprimanded if they use them.

This isn't the French Prime Minister announcing the country will cancel Microsoft Office subscriptions and build a fund to support FOSS projects. Gimp has nowhere near the ressources they actually need.

Wait... What ?!

I didn't know that at all.

Is there a way to check who the shareholders are ?

 
 
 
 

I recently discovered Mubi 🇬🇧.

Based in London and founded by Efe Çakarel. Born in Izmir and educated at MIT, he was worried that american streamers were flooding the world with mass Hollywood crap while quality cinema struggled.

Mubi supports and distributes movies from around the world.

On their catalogue, you find some the best award winners from the Cannes Festival, the European Film Festival, the Jerusalem Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival.

Netflix is like going to Pizza Hut.

Mubi is like eating at a Pizzeria owned by a Sicilian family.

If you want to see what ideology can do to a nation's elite, look at the United Kingdom today.

London isn't a global financial center because the British have special genes for money. London is a global finance center because the United Kingdom was the most powerful global empire that the world had ever seen.

Throughout history, the powerful nations scream "FREE TRADE, OPEN YOUR MARKETS. NOW !!!" because they are confident. They know that their big corporations can be unleashed on the small countries. At the peak of its power, the UK was the most free trade country in the world. In London, the UK elite were 100% confident their corporations could dominate the world. The Chinese try to resist? They don't want to accept our corporations ? We will make them open their market, whether they like or not.

For a long period, the US was actually a protectionist country.

Why did the entire US elite became a cheerleader of globalization after World War 2 ? Extreme confidence. They know that globalization means Coca-Cola, Starbucks Coffee, Amazon, Adobe, Boeing, Microsoft and Apple can be unleashed on the planet.

From Tokyo to Mumbai, from Montreal to Rio de Janeiro, from Mecca to Sydney. They want to see McDonalds and Starbucks everywhere. They want Amazon everywhere. They want Adobe Software and Microsoft Windows everywhere. They want to see Apple phones everywhere.

In recent years, the Chinese started to build sophisticated large corporations capable of threatening US dominance in fields like Pharma, Satellites, Chips, Robotics, Technology, Planes.

That's when the US elite really started to worry. Under the Biden administration, the americans tried to throw money at Intel and Boeing. They created a powerful wall to protect car corporations against BYD. Trump is just a symptom of the american panic, but he is crude and ignorant.

The British are no longer an empire. They are increasingly a small little country like many others. And like all small countries, they are fucked by corporate empires like Starbucks Coffee or Amazon

Make absolutely no mistake. Going to Amazon is worse for the economy than going to a British-owned book store. Going to Starbucks is worse for the economy than going to a British-citizen owned coffee. Anyone telling you otherwise is taking you for a fool. In one case the money is leaving Britain and increasing the foreign deficit. In another case, the money is taxed and stays in Britain.

The London elites, still believe they run the British empire. They openly scream "We LOVE globalization, we LOVE free trade". These fools went as far as selling their critical water infrastructure to foreign investors and bragging about it ("Britain is open for business").

Now, Trump openly declared a trade war on them. The British Chancellor reacts by saying calls for buying British products are bad because it's against free trade.

That's what happens when you completely swallow your own bullshit.
