2022 Presidential/Legislatives elections

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism.

Forced vaccinations (or lose your medical job), passe sanitaire or you can’t go to the cinema, eat in a restaurant or go to a gym, is authoritarianism. Klaus Schwab, who created the WEF, and whose authoritarian/fascist ideas have been implemented globally since the “pandemic”, has Nazi roots and has plans for humanity that will chill your blood. But few people are bothering to look further than the BBC for their information, so we will no doubt sink into digital dystopia before we know it.

But what will be will be. I’m not here to argue or score points. It’s just my view based on my research. This is probably not the place to discuss these things, anyway. All the best.

Thank goodness for that. I’m getting bored waiting. Now old Elon’s got Twitter it can’t be too long before he renames Tesla to Cyberdyne Systems, launches Skynet and we can all get on with being slaughtered in the war against the machines until that nice John Connor and his mum Linda Hamilton team up with a kindly T-800 who had previously tried to kill them to save us all. At least those of us who haven’t already been deaded by the robots.

I just closed my Twitter account. Wonder how many are doing so?

Good to see all those years of Hollywood brain-washing didn’t go to waste :slight_smile:

I’ll have you know I do the Hollywood brainwashing, not receive it. Those of us at the top of the show business Illuminati ivory tower have special tools to ensure we can repel the brainwashing. No matter how hard they try, no one will ever convince me Benedict Cumberbatch is anything other than a shockingly poor actor, and that is because the Hollywood mind control won’t work on those of us on the inside.

I don’t think we can be living in the same country if you think France has a fascist government. Also I suppose you aren’t French and I wonder how well you know us.

Yes but he’s nice to look at! :slight_smile:

I see another one bites the dust.

Yes. I think many people in the UK don’t realise how very far to the right the country has drifted.

Yes - and that includes almost all the UK mass media - which obsesses about ‘right-wing populism’ on the Continent but is blind to it in its own backyard!

Interesting analysis of the result here too - also placing social divisions in France in an international context…

If this sociological and cultural description bears a striking resemblance to the electoral landscape that took shape during the 2016 US presidential election or during Brexit, it is because the same tectonic shifts are at work everywhere. Globalisation, synonymous with post-industrial decline, the concentration of wealth and graduates in large cities, but also an increase in migratory flows, combined with an educational revolution have profoundly reconfigured western societies.

Except that LePen didn’t win - didn’t in fact come anywhere near winning - so (according to some) the votes blanc movement achieved its aim: the record number of abstentions and blank papers demonstrated to Macron that most people do not support him (or LePen) and he has to modify his behaviour and policies.
And there is indeed some evidence that he has learned this lesson, isn’t there?

I thought the old cartoon made the point quite nicely… of just what can happen. :rofl:

Very interesting prog on France Inter tonight le téléphone sonne if you like French politics

I see the Socialists, Communists, Greens and France Insoumise have agreed to stand together as ‘The Social and Ecological People’s Union’ for these elections.
