French Far Right Scores Big in a First Round of Voting, Polling Suggestswww.nytimes.com A surprise decision by President Emmanuel Macron to hold a snap election appears to have backfired badly, giving the National Rally a decisive victory, early returns showed.

Fuck fascism

Scary shit. Rise of the far right all over the place. Terrifying!

All the land that France colonized and their far right (racist) party has the nerve to complain about migration?

Tonight we're going to party like it's 1936

Centrists try fascist-lite only to find that voters they pursued to replace the center left they alienated prefer the real thing…

What is it about Europeans and Americans forgetting all the lessons of WWII and wanting to let fascist dictators in league with corporate billionaires enslave the working people?

Mainstream media consolidation is as much of an issue in France as it is in other western countries. They’re benefiting off of the horse race and attempting to be “fair” to both sides, but it’s just enabling the worst elements to game the system. Social media is making it worse.

And, the latter is being heavily manipulated by groups aligned with autocratic countries like Russia/China who have vested interests in stoking division in “western” countries and pull them out of the global sphere and turn inwards and more nationalistic.

Whenever you see fears stoked by border policy, immigration, housing unavailability (due to immigration) it is largely false narratives being pushed in order to foster the idea of an “out group”, similar to how the trans community is being treated, which is how this bullshit spreads.

Europe only takes migrants if they don't have to pay them.

What's the gamble part?

He held a snap election that he didn't have to do.

Congrat ! WE will have Olympique games under fachisme...

The @nytimes.com editors just had a biggest orgasm since Trump won in 2020. It's going to take a whole day to clean up their offices.
