Why does this have to be this way
Tho I'm not really phased by the perspective of banning someone who wishes harm to my country, I don't want to bother toady for that kind of BS. Seriously it's not worth it. Especially when I'm vindicated at the end of the day. 

Democracy wins again, everyone go home or is behind bars explaining the struggle of poor people to men in blue, and I am extremely relieved. Internet trolls don't really phase me at this point

I choked on my water laughing at this are you trying to injure me sir with your jokesmithing.

You were not the target of my ire but I have a habit of hamfisting things

We should have a revolution against ill-timed joke reading. All in favor?

Democracy is having under 20% approval rating?

I want to hurt your country? How so?

*shrug* I've never reported anyone (except for spambots). I just tend to set the ignore tag on people I find obnoxious on whichever grounds. But looking elsewhere in the board many people are getting very tired of this guy's antics
TBH... to me he's obviously inside a certain category of alt-right supporter with a huge chip on his shoulder about women and foreigners which is actually 100% projection of his own personal issues. This thread is likely an attempt to pander for FN (alt-right has a certain international projection... to a point, and specially in social networks. But then again, for all their chauvinism, far rightwingers have always been more able for cross border collaborations than they are given credit for).
I think one of the weapons the far right has used is to seem larger than they actually are to get more media projection, which alongside with the worldwide socio-economical crisis has allowed them to get more support than they normally would. But even then I think 10-20% is about their ceiling, I think and hope

Chairmanpoo should be banned for constant harassment of me over several threads over several months.

I have asked him to stop multiple times yet he keeps coming in and changing the topic of my threads into insulting me.

He is a no life loser who gets off by acting morally superior to others online.

Link 1 thread of yours that I went into and started insulting you.

[Cathar]

Oh yes I get that. Far right wingers of other countries often try to wink wonk to the Front National. They are like "You don't like foreigners ? We neither, clearly we are the same !"

But since they don't research their thing and get all of their information through medias, they have no idea of what they are talking about, what the FN is or why they will never come close to power.

Last elections we had Sargon of Akkad losing his bowels over that, stopped following him at this point. Dude has no idea about what he's talking about.
It's too soon to take any conclusion on what just happened, but long story short ; in french politics, polls is not what you have to look after. The important variable is : does the movement oilspills ? Does the government fails ?

Last week we had the impression of a wide, grassroot popular anger in the streets of Paris, and this saturday was the important test. The government held no problem, the mass didn't followed, and now normal life will return gradually.

Info on the 1990 Poll Tax?

Thatcher (Thatcher, Milk Snatcher) essentially culminated her decade-long premiership (during which she had managed to annoy a lot of people on various issues, but was supported by enough others to win against a disaffected and divided opposition base) by a number of game-changing policies, including the implementation of the "Community Charge" (aka Poll Tax).

Fun ensued. There were other factors, but this animosity may have been significant, and was maybe the largest direct public (as opposed to political grandstanding/manoeuvring) issue attributable. And when it comes to looking for an equivalent to the current Paris situation, it bears mentioning (as not really the same, despite various superficialities).

Oh that's the UK bro, this thread is about France.

Comparing the UK to France is like comparing Apples to Oranges.

[Starver]

Oh that's the UK bro, this thread is about France.

To which I explicitly compared to the UK, including the obvious "2011 London Riots" and the Fuel protests (explicitly compared against the French situation.

Maybe I didn't include enough words to explain this, though.

I think the alt-right has been trying to push the buttons on the frustrations of a lot of people. Their obvious public, but also unemployed youth, and people with other frustrations, and, as usual, offer them a scapegoat. I think that's the real reason why they are a bit more successful right now: for some people it worked. But I think there is a limit on that both because it will only convince so many people, and because it will galvanize the rest to move against this.

As it did in France in the last election, in fact. In the second round of votes Macron got the upper hand because many people who wouldn't vote for him would do anything to keep an outright fascist party from power.

I'm curious, actually, and I'd like to hear from your viewpoint what you think will happen: do you think Macron is going to win the next election? Personally, I'd seen FN as a likely pick to get into power next time around because the Socialist Party failed in terms of popularity, Macron looks to be failing in such terms as well, if not enough to cause a government change right away, and Les Republicains appeared to have lost a lot of their traction, with parties like the communist party and UMN not picking up much support in the first place. This is also an outsider's analysis though, and I'm interested to hear what you have to say.
