Meanwhile, french cops kill more unarmed people than ever (from 1/month to 2/month in under a decade) and a famous revisionist supporting Pétain and other pro-nazi collaborationist figures is running for president and has all its advertisements done for free by private TV channels who relay every word of his (much like Trump had in his time).
- JumpCrisscross 5y agoThis is one part whataboutism and one part pointing out that multiple extremists are being extreme.
- southerntofu 5y ago> This is one part whataboutism It's directly related: anti-police education/propaganda is cited in the demand for dissolving GALE antifascist network in Lyon as one of the reasons the group can't be tolerated by the government. > one part pointing out that multiple extremists are being extreme I was talking about one person (Zemmour) in particular, but sure. The thing is the guy is a pure product of french society and is very representative of everything that's wrong with our culture. Also worth noting that all his talking points (except for the revisionist bits about Pétain) are extremely similar to that of the current/previous governments who have waged a cultural war and psyops against islam (see also: burkini, government closing down mosques, government closing down human rights association CCIF, etc). Sorry if my implying was not clear that Macron and Zemmour (and most other candidates) play exactly the same racist "French empire" game.
