    Does anyone know of a compilation of all the bad things france has done recently? Macron has been doing bad things for years but I feel like it is more frequent than before

      Can be summed up in a few things : deleted a lot of taxes on the rich, did nothing but order the pigs to repress the yellow vests, didn't prosecute cop violence, didn't stop islamist attacks (and their fucking funding), folded when Turkey attacked the kurds (and when Armenia got whacked), signed several laws further attacking civil liberties, removed several organs for sect surveillance. That kind of things: it's pretty fucking bad, and I fear we're on the same path as Australia or the UK, aka a nominally """democratic""" country, but with a fully-fledged authoritarian state designed to protect capitalists and their interests.

      Oh and that's not all he did. There's plenty more I'm forgetting, but that's not the point. The guy is the epitome of what neoliberalism is, any more authoritarian than that and you quickly go into Pinochet-style governance.

          Not a clue since I'm French, but a parody channel goes over all the bullshit in Australia, and there's a lot of it.
