The scale is pretty mind boggling indeed. I don't know when they were added to trust stores, but imagine all the shitty IoT devices that will never see the revocation...

C'est exactement ça, si un autre pays non allié faisait ce qu'on fait à nos manifestants, on aurait déjà fait des grands discours pour condamner ces actions

In France we have Danone and Pierre Fabre lobbying really hard for two New highways straight to their headquarters. The A69 and the A412. The A69 has been completed recently after absolutely massive protests. And the A412 is currently rolling with the same playbook: Destroy the zone and build the highway faster than justice can handle the case and put a stop to it.

The current state of French debt is manufactured to justify budget cuts left and right. We've had Macron for 10 years and the only thing he did was to add 1000 billion to it, and increase the wealth gap.

At some point we have to realise that these people are entirely responsible for the situation, and doubling down on their stupid neo liberal ideology will just make things a lot worse.

We're basically considered a tax haven for billionaires.

And the US government

Yeah they're not the brightest. It's also not the first video showing that.

Ai is a panopticon

Yeah it's impressive as an engineering feat, but it's actually completely pointless

He is 100% responsible for everything that happened there.

What the fuck are you even on about ? Leave retirees alone. Most of them are living under the poverty line. A handful of them are extremely rich, but that's about it.

There's also literally nothing these people can do about that. It's the government's fault, no one else's. 10 years of policies all aimed to make rich people richer, cutting everything left and right, except the military and corporate handouts.

The kids have rats in the classrooms, literal fucking rats. In the summer they have 40+ degrees in there, and not enough chairs and toilet paper for everyone. It's the same in all our public services and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We have poverty levels higher than 30 years ago, people can't afford to eat, to go to the doctor, to heat their homes.

We riot because our most basic rights are being trampled and fucked with. We tried talking, voting, being peaceful about it, and the only answers we got were disdain, more and more institutional violence, and the goddamn riot police. You should probably learn a thing or two, instead of licking the boot on your neck.

Nah that's propaganda. The violent ones are mostly the police, and the occasional dipshit. It started with highschoolers/college kids wanting decent learning conditions. As in, having teachers, chairs to sit on, not wanting rats in classrooms,and school not crumbling onto them.

The answer to that from the government was to send riot police and maim the kids. Then all the media focused on the material damage, and it went downhill from that. The government spends more daily to squash the protest than it would have helping the kids.

Then the yellow jackets started to organise again as well and planned on having a big protest yesterday. It went smoothly for the most part, except for the police (unsurprisingly) pepper spraying protesters left and right before the protests even began. Then it went downhill because of rioters and looters (a sizable portion of them being cops, caught in camera, again, unsurprisingly), and the historic town hall of Limoges burning down (I don't think we know who started the fire yet).

Basically it's the government gaslighting us, and blaming us for material violence after 10 or so years of systemic and institutional violence.

That's a fuckton of bullshit to unpack and I don't have time for that. Apparently you know our politics better than we do. I'll just go quickly over your points

• Bayrou is a former prime minister, vastly responsible for the current situation.
• Macron caters to the retirees because the vote for him en masse.
• We have a revenue problem, we can fix it with a multitude of ways that the government refuses to even consider.
• Our spending is high but stable and has been somewhat stable for the past 50 years, like your source shows. It's the revenues that have made a complete nosedive, thanks to Macron.
• With proper taxation and redistribution we can largely afford to keep our retirement age at 60. Yes, the system needs to change to make it fair for everyone, and that will include cutting spending for richer retirees. But in no way raising retirement age is an absolute necessity.
• And you seem to have been caught in the classic propaganda of the average pension. The average is an absolutely worthless metric here, we do have a handful of extremely high pensions paid, but the median pension is barely enough to survive for most people.

And I can't believe that someone in 2026, would unironically use a fucking Thatcher quote about socialism. Her, Reagan and Keynes are the reason we're in this fucking mess worldwide.

Proper wealth redistribution is key to a functional society, and France saw its portion of millionaires and billionaires explode in the past 10 years, while every single one of our public services crumbles, and poverty explodes. We have departments without clean drinking water for fucks sake. Capitalism cannot work if everyone wins.

The "totally not a scam company" creating the "absolutely not a scam corp", to definitely not scam people

Macron is a fucking disgrace. That's just theater.

Still the biggest proof that it was real, the Soviets would've called out on the bluff

It's always the same, big shocking announcement, public outcry, pushing forward with a less shocking version, public acceptance, and then rolling out the rest of the initial plan. Why do we keep falling for it?

Stairs on one side, an elevator on the other and a museum dedicated to the bridge. The two towers are linked by the decks and they both have glass floors. It's a pretty cool sight to do in London.

Now watch the effects ripple through the world. Now that a guy like him can be elected, politicians around the world will take note and use the same playbook. And it will probably work.

We already felt it in France with the 2016 US election, I can't imagine what the next decade will be like...

Well, if the model detected an issue, and a human tested it to make sure it was real and then fixed it, I think that's an acceptable use of AI tools.
