Our new president - President Emmanuel Macron!

Post Reply New Topic

Macron is the fascist elite, he is a media creation and a fake outsider in a country I guess that has a perversion for financial criminals as they very well might of voted for the rapist Dominique Straus-Kahn. His campaign is one built on fear, not the concerns of ordinary people.

'Make America Great Again' is an incredibly powerful statement to someone from a place that was better off 10 years ago, 10 years before that, and even 20 years before that. Large tracts of this country and their people have been essentially been abandoned, places like San Fran and NYC were the global elite live meanwhile have become richer and richer and richer which should help explain the bubble these folks live in when confronted with the real suffering of the rest of America that they affectionately refer to as 'flyover country'.

It's rich for somebody on an island thinks borders are irrational, it's confusing how somebody on an overcrowded little island where there is no hope of ever owning a home thinks that unrestricted immigration is the way to go.

You believe in the cult of multiculturalism so any quasi-attempt or suggestion of tackling the real security concerns or preserving national identity(every culture has value except our own apparently) I still don't see how Le Pen is a fascist, she is not some foaming at the mouth lunatic some people would like us to believe.
France has been under a state of emergency for how long now? Worry about a police state doesn't make a lot of sense when it's already here, there are other more sensible ways of preventing these attacks but Macron will do nothing but double down on everything the created the problem in the first place. Crushing ISIS means working with Russia, not paranoid accusations of meddling and grandstanding about fictional human rights abuses. Le Pen, Fillon, even Melenchon were all committed to working with Putin. Macron will do what, what Merkel has done? Nothing?

There is no end in sight, we can win the military engagements on the ground but we'll lose the war in the long run. Their plan all along was to bleed us by attrition, Islam will eventually gain majorities in regions of Europe and then we will see how true this peace loving moderation actually is. I see no way things actually get better, the situation is completely ****'d.

I apologize; but being of largely German descent, I get a little sensitive whenever it appears anything German is associated with Hitler.
Where in Baden did your ancestor come from? My dad's people had come from the northern Frankish dialect region of Baden (as opposed to the Alemannic dialect south), particularly the area that had once been the Electoral Palatinate, or Kurpfalz.

Do people actually believe this silly lie? Do those who keep repeating it actually think that if they repeat it often enough it will become true?

Where is the evidence (as opposed to gossip and rumour) that this accusation is true? I ask because I have yet to see it.

Macron is going to kill ISIS? Ha, he's going to roll out the read carpet just like his boss Merkel did

Another glorious day! President Macron vanquishes Marine Le Pen with (according to current approximations) a little over 65% of the vote!

First the Dutch, and now the French. Countries are waking up and rejecting small-minded isolationism in favour of liberal, centrist, internationalism. All of this despite a last-minute attempt by Russians to discredit Macron by hacking his emails.

Use this thread to discuss and celebrate our new President's triumph over evil!

EN MARCHE!

Stop with the Russia crap. You Leftists blame them as the boogeyman everywhere now yet you LOVED them when they were the USSR.

His campaign is one built on fear, not the concerns of ordinary people. The banker does not care whatsoever about the suffering of the people, he is there to make sure the status-quo has its gravy train unimpeded. The communist Melenchon is obviously way less of a fraud than fake socialist Bernie Sanders who sold out his followers to help finance his 3rd vacation home in Vermont and to starve off an investigation into his wife.

You are very ignorant if you believe that everywhere has benefited from globalization and I have chuckle at you calling Arizona incredibly wealthy. You do know why I live here in the first place right? It's not 'cause I like the heat, it's because the place I grew up was ravaged by globalization. 'Make America Great Again' is an incredibly powerful statement to someone from a place that was better off 10 years ago, 10 years before that, and even 20 years before that. Large tracts of this country and their people have been essentially been abandoned, places like San Fran and NYC were the global elite live meanwhile have become richer and richer and richer which should help explain the bubble these folks live in when confronted with the real suffering of the rest of America that they affectionately refer to as 'flyover country'.

It's rich for somebody on an island thinks borders are irrational, it's confusing how somebody on an overcrowded little island where there is no hope of ever owning a home thinks that unrestricted immigration is the way to go. Neoliberals believe in standing up for their 'national interest', what is that? To not upset the bankers, to consume and to continue to build on a broke banking system dependent on perpetual growth? We're not all better off but the people at the top certainly are.

It's very simplistic and dismissive to boil everything that Trump and Le Pen believe in down to scapegoating minorities, you believe in the cult of multiculturalism so any quasi-attempt or suggestion of tackling the real security concerns or preserving national identity(every culture has value except our own apparently) is 'literally Hitler' to folks like you. Unlike real fascist they believe in democratic institutions and don't partake in violence on the street, does that mean I can start calling leftists 'neo-Stalinists'? They actually do partake in street violence and have embedded themselves in every undemocratic institution in this country like our nation's universities for example. It's nonsense, meaningless words meant to scare people. Fascism and racism are screamed at all opposing views to the point that it's very hard to nail down their actual meaning. I still don't see how Le Pen is a fascist, she is not some foaming at the mouth lunatic some people would like us to believe. She, like Trump, recognizes a problem the other side refuses to acknowledge let alone try to solve.

Worry about a police state doesn't make a lot of sense when it's already here, there are other more sensible ways of preventing these attacks but Macron will do nothing but double down on everything the created the problem in the first place. You believe that Merkel's refugee policy was her smartest decisions? That's one of the craziest things I ever heard, I would really like to hear that explained how that benefits Germany or Europe as a whole. How much crime and terrorism is in Japan? Is that a police state? Why might that be?

Crushing ISIS means working with Russia, not paranoid accusations of meddling and grandstanding about fictional human rights abuses. Le Pen, Fillon, even Melenchon were all committed to working with Putin. Macron will do what, what Merkel has done? Nothing? Talk is cheap, even Obama has mustered up some tough words for terrorists at times but there has been no US president besides maybe Dubya more responsible for the growth of radical Islam. Does Macron believe we should arm terrorists to fight dictators we don't like? Those Hillary emails did tell us that they considered al-Qaeda the 'good guys' in Syria and they support Islamists in overthrowing/murdering Gaddafi in Libya which is an ungovernable hell on earth at this moment. There is no end in sight, we can win the military engagements on the ground but we'll lose the war in the long run. Their plan all along was to bleed us by attrition, Islam will eventually gain majorities in regions of Europe and then we will see how true this peace loving moderation actually is.

^This is why Macron won. As long as the right continue cowering in the corner trying to make everyone else as frightened of life as they are then they will continue being written off by the floating middleground voters as fear mongering crackpots.

I don't see why you are going on victorious about someone who didn't even take to the red carpet to begin his preliminary speech to the whole of the French republic. Some people don't even want change, so I'm guessing as you live in the U.K, you were hoping for this to happen as you are either a Corbenite remainer or someone who thinks they have dual nationality? Macron will probably force the U.K into signing away our treaty on the exchange of goods between services on our beloved Eurotunnel and borders even when fenced off are key to trade, I just hope he hasn't put his foot in it, and started off another round of ISIS shotfire when the country is still in tatters and vulnerable as the day they elected Hollande. Going nationalist would have proven a point that France cannot and shall never be beaten by terror. And in this case Islam broke the silence that have issued Frances surrender.
Macron is clearly the nodding pacifist of male propaganda and a prop for everyone else in Europe to take advantage of.
I feel sorry for Le Pen as her achievements and goals were cut short and blighted by the pretence that she thought she would win, and as it were, nearly half of voters never showed, through the fear instilled by Islamic prophecies radicallising changes in the voting system, Jacoby is along the right lines and hopefully the U.K aren't gonna stand for it either. God bless.

My (semi-realistic) dream would be a Lib-Lab coalition with Yvette Cooper as PM and lots of Lib Dems in senior ministries including Nick Clegg as foreign secretary

You complain about bankers, and the richs becoming richer, yet you approve of a president who deregulate Wall-Street, lower the tax of the richs and is himself a billionaires and a narcissist: you don't make any sense.

I am neither a Corbynite remainer or have dual nationality.

France don't want Le Pen, they rejected her, she lost, get over it.
