    Hey France has a lesson for you: 2 years ago the liberals called the left to vote for them in order to prevent the far right from getting elected.

    For 2 years the liberals governed with the leaning to far right - right. The far right applauded many of their policies.

    This Sunday the far right went first in the European election, because the left was a bunch of clowns and everyone hates the liberal government.

    1h after the results, the Liberal president Macron disbanded the parliament. Now there are 3 weeks to elect a new parliament. He also opted for a vote that favors the biggest, so the far right is favoured, and there’s no time for a campaign and barely enough time for the left to unite. The president is also still saying on TV that the left is just as bad and as extreme as the far right.

    We didn’t see it coming, but the liberal who pretended he would fight the far right is the first accelerationist in France. It is chaos right now, and the far right has never been so close from being in power in France since 1944. The 5th Republic is almost a presidential regime btw, so if the far right has the power, it’ll be very dirty.

    Trust the liberals they said, it’s better than the far right…










  • What the fuck?! This shit with tiltok is one of the ugliest imperialist shit the USA pulled this century, dropping the rule of trade to the full on empire mode, and you’re talking here about whataboutism?

    We have a country literally stealing a company because it’s profitable and can spread influence! And you’re here like “China bad”?

    Is this the strategy? Anytime something bad from the US comes up you deflect for it to be about China I guess?





  • Everything can be. But for the largest majority of people, eating is normal, eventhough it can seem to have some aspects of an addiction.

    And the most important part here is that even if you somehow get addicted to food, you cannot simply stop eating. Because you need to eat for your survival. It’s a biological need.

    That’s the point of the example : showing that something you can’t stop doing is not necessarily a bad thing. The details are very important when it comes to addiction.

    And video games are unfortunately victim of propaganda when it comes to their dangers.


  • An addiction is defined by two things : first, it has negative effects on your life. Second, trying to stop it makes you miserable.

    Food for example is not an addiction, it’s a biological need. The need for socialisation is another one.

    Video games can be an addiction. But I’d argue that they’re usually not, they usually a coping mechanism. When they are, the problem is elsewhere, and the video games are helping you to survive through the problem.
