    This is what leadership looks like. As many people as possible should watch this.

    I admire the F out of the French. They’ll call a spade a spade and take to the streets at the drop of a hat.

    Meanwhile, we keyboard warriors in the US all sit behind a screen saying “we should DO something!1!” while our government gets dismantled by growing fascism and oligarchy.

      Not to praise us too much, but a fundamental problem is the US’s addiction to algorithms and toxic public online spaces. The activism we have hardly matters if it doesn’t pop up in people’s feeds and apps.

      The Federation is a potential way out. It’s a good thing to participate in.

        Part of this problem is that populations are by definition in urban / city areas. Where you can riot / protest / whatever. But the people mainly supporting this shit are in rural areas. So you can burn down all the stuff you want in the city, and the media will just label it as crazy stupid liberals. And then say the government does nothing, need more police, antifa etc etc. so in some sense protesting almost helps to enable these people.

      Absolutely. France is a big joke to many ignorant, insulated, isolated Americans. But every time I see something they actually do or say? Based as hell.

    Wow. The first 3 minutes were impressive. Every sentence packed with cynicism, yet clear, factual, realistic. A fresh wind clearing the stale air in my mind (poisoned by doomscrolling).

    (He looks like Nosferatu btw)

      He clearly and unequivocally outlined why any future president will have a difficult time restoring alliances with the EU.

      This is Putin’s goal. That is his end game. Trump is pushing us to World War 3 and we’re on the wrong side.

        Putin wants America to shatter the way the USSR did and Trump is the perfect dumb shit to do it

    Gods, if only we had politicians here as blunt as that. What a wonderful speech.

    Merci, Senator Malhurst. That was truly moving.

      I’m not saying he isn’t a Russian asset, but the Russians obviously have every interest to support that narrative. As usual I wouldn’t believe anything coming out of Moscow

      Trump is still doing what America has always done: undermine and over throw democracy, commandeer natural resources. Threaten those who don’t comply.

      Ask anyone in South America .

        True.

        But I would never have imagined them doing this to themselves.
