French President Macron: If You Vote for "Populists," It Could Lead to "Civil War"
We're hearing, increasingly, the same from American left. In one breath they say people cannot vote for the right, as the right would destroy our precious democracy.
In the very next breath, they warn of political violence from the left, warning us that we dare not contest their control of government or they will revolt. It can't be both, guys. You cannot have it both ways. Either you support Our Precious Democracy, or you're violent revolutionaries who will kill people to retain power. Macron is a fine example of a leftwing technocratic shitlib. He's supposed to be some kind of Third Way centrist, and a "reasonable" person. But here is threatening violent, bloody revolution unless people reelect his party.French President Emmanuel Macron cautions that voting for populist parties in the upcoming elections could lead to "civil war," prompting accusations of fearmongering as his own leadership faces severe criticism. Key Details: Alarmist Statements: Macron claimed that electing right-wing National Rally or leftist-socialist New Popular Front could divide the nation, sparking civil unrest. Opposition Response: Jordan Bardella, National Rally's candidate, criticized Macron's divisive comments, pointing to ongoing unrest as a persistent issue under Macron's presidency. Historical Context: Macron's tenure has been marked by numerous protests and riots, including the recent racially charged riots and contentious pension reform strikes. Diving Deeper: President Emmanuel Macron has issued a hyperbolic warning about the potential for "civil war" should populist parties gain power in the forthcoming legislative elections. Macron has labeled the "political extremes" represented by Marine Le Pen's right-wing National Rally and Jean-Luc Mélenchon's left-wing New Popular Front as dangerous. The President argues that both the right-wing and leftist-populist agendas could exacerbate national divisions, citing the right's focus on identity and the left's push toward communitarianism. His claims are supported by Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who accuses both parties of nurturing a cycle of hatred and division that threatens the social fabric of France.Do you remember Zack Beauchamp? That's the guy who wrote "battle reports" from Iraq, supposedly true but one has one's doubts, for the New Republic. His stories were full of US soldiers shooting dogs for no reason and even one guy wearing a dead human skull for a hat. In other words, he was a creative writing drop-out who knew what his leftwing audience at the New Republic already believed about US soldiers and was eager to serve them up a big plate of Confirmation Bias. Now he's warning about Republican "authoritarianism" in terms so strident and stark it sure sounds like the only thing a good leftist can do to resist this authoritarianism is... outlaw the opposition party and impose "peace" through violence. Mark Judge, one of the men smeared by lunatic leftwing fabulist Crissy Blowsey-Ford, reviews his paranoid conspiracy-addled call to arms.
Submit to leftism or you're an authoritarianJudge relays Beauchamp's message that the right is authoritarian, while ignoring Obama's crackdown on the press and drone strikes against American citizens.
Beauchamp is a writer for the leftist website Vox. In The Reactionary Spirit, he spends a lot of time arguing that former President Donald Trump and the new political populism represent authoritarianism -- despite the fact that most political and cultural repression today is coming from the Left. Leftists such as Beauchamp keep preaching that Republicans are authoritarians, then in the next breath demand that you submit to the Left's policies, no matter how irrational, immoral, unconstitutional, or bizarre. Here is the sleight of hand that Beauchamp uses. He takes old cases of people resisting moral and necessary social change and declares that such attitudes are still a driving force on the Right. Are you against a boy claiming to be transgender sharing a locker with your daughter? You're no different from the goons who beat up civil rights marchers. You're an authoritarian. Someone once observed that "for liberals, it will forever be Selma, Alabama, in 1965." This is where Beauchamp lives. He never considers that in the last 50 years, liberalism itself has changed, going from being focused on equality, common sense, and due process to becoming hysterical, punitive, and irrational -- not to mention authoritarian.
... Beauchamp uses academic jargon to disguise the weakness of his premise. He can't call Trump an outright authoritarian because Trump gives press conferences, is for gay rights, tries to keep America out of wars, and tries to remove regulations on businesses. Trump can also be an infantile crybaby, but that's petulance, not authoritarianism. Instead, Beauchamp warns of "powerful political factions in established democracies" that "worked to alter the very fabric of the democratic system" and "were able to replace democracy with something altogether different: a system that appeared democratic at first glance but was fundamentally rigged in favor of the ruling party." This, Beauchamp declares, is "competitive authoritarianism." Competitive authoritarianism "maintains formal democratic rules but breaks those rules in order to protect a special class."Huh, you mean like a cadre of powerful bureaucrats conspiring with propaganda media to rig elections and subvert a democratically elected president?
... In 2024, everybody in America is an oppressed group. Regardless of whether an objection to their elevation and the eradication of tradition is based on religion, human reason, science, natural law, or logic, it must be steamrolled. Guys like Beauchamp will be driving the truck.It's a good piece, worth your time. Below, a "Democracy Defender" promises that their will be blood in the streets, and "people will die, people will die!" if Trump is elected.

""Je partira pas","I will not leave,"
Si, si tu partiras
Et plutot que tu crois. On t'a assez donné,
Maintenant tu peux te casser.
Bon débarras
Et ne reviens pas. "Je partira pas",
Si, si, tu partiras.
Comme t'es venu
Tu t'en iras
Yes, yes you will leave,
and sooner than you think. We've given you plenty,
Now you can get lost.
Good riddance,
and don't come back. "I will not leave,"
Yes, yes you will leave.
Just as you got in,
you'll be getting out. There are more lyrics but you get the point. (Later lyrics start talking about specifically French laws and organizations and I don't feel like looking that stuff up.) There's a certain amount of ugliness here, but, as Instapundit has said about the Tea Party and Trump: The Tea Party was us asking politely. Trump is what you get for ignoring those polite requests. Now we're telling you rudely. There was a term in the late eighties, I think: "Compassion fatigue." It's what cost the Democrats elections. People got sick of the progressives and liberals piling one obligation after another on the people. We were henpecked to death, and told we must always put members of protected liberal interest groups ahead of ourselves. Life since The Summer of George has been Compassion Fatigue on steroids. Now we're told we can't even punish thieves -- we owe it to the thieves to let them rob us blind. After all, they're just stealing "bread" for their "hungry children." You can take some of that -- you need some of that, I concede -- but you cannot take this forever. The leftwing Marxists cannot claim that you have infinite obligations to foreigners, and those foreigners have no reciprocal obligations themselves. People have compassion, until you absolutely take advantage of it, and then they say: "Je partira pas"? Si, si, tu partira, et plutot que tu crois. That's rude. But you know what? We were polite for thirty f***ing years and you just ignored us. People aren't just sick of third world immigration: they're sick of their corrupt, unaccountable governments telling them that the bureaucrats rule the world, and the citizens can go get f***ed forever. And it's not just immigration, either-- the left has abandoned all restraint in making demands of people not on the left to give over their money and lives to people of the left. We're not your slaves. You do understand that, right? We are not your servants. You cannot rule against the wishes of the people forever. Or can you? The EU Parliament, WEF, and US intelligence services and interlocking directory of corporate/financial power in the US sure thinks you can.

Going to lose my mind at all this “Trump lied so much” debate “analysis” when Biden **kicked off the debate** by claiming that no American service members have died under his watch
CBS News @CBSNews 10h
In Thursday's presidential debate, former President Trump said "people are coming in and killing our citizens at a level like we've never seen before" — a statement the CBS News Confirmed team says is misleading.
The team also fact-checked President Biden's claim that Trump wants to "get rid of social security" — classifying it as false. cbsn.ws/3xJmqzm

Newsflash for Macron: Your nation is already divided which is why there are different parties. You must've been sick the day that was taught in Politician School. And the civil unrest is already there which is why these different parties are expanding so that they can find some rest.
I get the feeling global "elites" are exactly as bright and clever as our own domestic ones, which means when things get really dicey, they're going down quickly.

A little inside baseball on Lina Hildalgo. She replaced a highly respected Republican country judge in Harris county during a Democrat cheat sweep. Even the Democrats were appalled to se him leave. She was such a Tyrant during Covid that Abbot had to over rule her to keep her from establishing Stasi rule in Harris county. She just got out of a mental institution where she fled to avoid legal problems. She's a real treat.

It describes control freaks, and I remember thinking that this described to a "T" some of the left wingers I've known. The book was actually published in the 1950s by Theodore Adorno, one of the Frankfurt school commies that emigrated over in the 1930s. They decided that "School of Marxist Twaddle" was too obvious, so they went with "Social Research" and that didn't draw as much attention at US universities. The academic elite have had decent, peaceable folks in their sights for a long, long time.

- the media is completely disingenuous and pretending they had no idea that rutabagas are vegetables
- the media is legitimately surprised that Joe Of The People is actually a rotten brain pan full of spoiled tapioca, and has no idea.
Either one is fantastic.

Arise children of the fatherland
The day of glory has arrived
Against us tyranny's
Bloody standard is raised
Listen to the sound in the fields
The howling of these fearsome soldiers
They are coming into our midst
To cut the throats of your sons and consorts
To arms citizens
Form your battalions
March, march
Let impure blood
Water our furrows

Expand the thought though. I have been saying this for decades.
I first heard it maybe under Reagan, but definitely under Bush where he bragged about more people owning homes. Economists said that sure, more people own homes but owning the home does not makes someone into the kind of person that creates a community. same with college - sending people to college does not make them academics if they are lowering the bar to get them in.
This is all cargo cult thinking. They see the *results* of productive life and think if we give people the results, we will create productive people.
The same in businesses -- I have seen it a thousand times in managers and executive emulating the outward appearance of success thinking that that is the same as success and productivity.

Another neat story making the rounds, is about a supposed former See Eye YAy special equipment guy, supposedly, talking about the levels of disguise they have now.
Supposedly, the spook met with then president George HW Bush to show off this new technology. They have masks that look just like people - anybody you want. It sort of ties into another CT about body doubles for VIP or whatever.
So ole George thinks this new technology is going to be in a briefcase or a bag or whatever. "Where is it?"
So the guy starts to rip off his face... George says
"Stop!" and starts inspecting his face, his ears, the whole bit. Suitably impressed. And then he proceeds to take off the mask. It's that good, and this was 30 years ago. Neat story, no idea of the veracity... Talk about "Deep Fakes".

1. They can get rid of Biden, but it is a Hail Mary. The replacement will be seen as a sure-loser.
2. Kamamalal. They will insult a lot of people if they pass over her, and even more if they don't.
3. They do not need the candidate, they need the justification for the vote cheat. They lost that. Who wants to participate in this whole fraud. They won by convincing a lot of people that Biden was competent, a steady hand, moderate, etc. Now they will have to convince people that the whole system is not rigged as they ask them to fill in ballots.
4. The only solution is to take out Trump.

I once took a test like that for a computer company in Michigan. The guy administering it told everyone 'This test will tell us exactly how good you will be as a progammer.'

If public opinion changes on things why not on presidential races? And why wouldn't they at least partly hinge on debates? Were you ever a person that was nonpolitical? I was. I watched debates and formed opinions based on them. People do. It's not a huge stretch to believe that. Trump beat Hillary in part because of his debate performances.
People are even pretending this is Trump's first good debate, probably because they didn't like Trump much back then. He was extremely measured against Hillary despite the worst stuff in the world being thrown at him.

If they can fake convincingly, why would they screw up ear lobe types? Doesn't make any sense.

That's odd. Our news here isn't showing any tape of last night's debate but is showing Joe getting "a warm welcome" campaigning today in NC.
Kinda ruins it showing ANGRY Joe yelling, "We're going to protect our children and get the WEAPONS OF WAR off of our streets!!" "CLEAN DRINKING WATER; AFFORDABLE HIGH-SPEED INTERNET' QUALITY EDUCATION FOR EVERY CHILD IN AMERICA!!"
Remind me who's been running the U.S. for the past 3.5 years again??

"Folks, Listen.
I was at the debate last night. I watched it. I tried to keep track of Trump’s lies as it went on and I ran out of paper.
On the substance, Joe Biden won the debate last night.
That is what matters to me.
Don’t look at 30 minutes — Look at the last three-and-a-half years under Joe Biden.
It's been a master class: 15.6 million jobs created — 8x more than the last 3 Republican presidents combined; gun safety legislation; lowering the cost of prescription drugs; an infrastructure package to rebuild this country.
Joe Biden has delivered — and we need to deliver for him in this moment — for him, and for Democrats everywhere.
We're talking about the fate and future of our democracy, this country and the world. They all need us right now.
That's what I intend to do, and I hope you'll join me.
Make a contribution to the Democratic National Committee today."

You might want to research the Nixon/Kennedy debate, if you think debates don't change things. There are regular folks that saw part of it and said "what did I just see?"

Posted by: JackStraw at June 28, 2024 07:18 PM (LkLld)
He might not. We've been saying it for years. And many have been saying they're getting rid of him as far back as Tara Reade which was April of 2020.
I thought you agreed with me that they're not getting rid of him.

I agree with this, but those traits are things like discipline, integrity, always have a proper appearance,..... ie, the things that lead to being a good leader, not the things that are the result.
That is not cargo cult, that is like teaching the Islanders how to build a port and an export economy.

the graceless hag hillary had nothing good to say about Trump, but Trump said of her, "She doesn't give up."

Exceedingly rare. People almost never change their minds about politics. Too much personal identity is tied up in it, because it's the closest thing this country's got to a religion.
I think a lot of people are like me, and eventually get to a point where they walk away from all of this bullshit. But virtually nobody is going to look at the dotard fold like a pair of deuces on some debate stage and switch his vote to Orangemanbad. They'll just vote Joe because they are Good People, not Garbage People.

I think the biggest shock to TPTB in the Dems is that they were convinced this guy had a cake walk - a devastated economy, an opponent under extreme legal duress, etc.
I think one of the main reasons they fought so hard in 2020 was because they figured the president of the current term would be a hero even if he did nothing. They are always talking about how Reagan had a good economy because it took 4 years for Carter's policies to blossom, etc. But they knew this would be a sure thing.
That is why they spent so much - they thought the machine of the US economy could handle any abuse. Now they are shocked that they blew such an easy hole.

singing Auslander Raus along with the song L’amour toujours is considered the most recent indication of reactionary right wing thought among the disaffected youth of Germany, and has been punished by loss of jobs, threats of fines, and other non-judicial actions intended to preserve the rights enshrined in the German constitution.
All I can say about L’amour toujours is that it sounds like a tiktok video overtrack. Which this video pretty much is.

One thing I've always found interesting was that Germany also lost a huge number of people on WWI - but unlike Britain and France, their birthrates didn't decline after the war. I think there was civilizational-level loss of nerve happening in the West, and it didn't catch up to Germany until the Nazis ruined that country.
