  • He’s a big mouthed dude and he’s got some questionable positions, especially when it comes to China and Russia. I’m not a big fan of him and his persona but he’s also not completely wrong on a lot of subjects (moving away from the 5th republic, increasing taxation for the rich, welcoming refugees, funding of social services, etc).
    Some people love to paint him as a Stalin/Pol pot/Mao to be, and as the other side of the extreme coin.
    My biggest gripe with him is that LFI is his party and there’s not much democracy in it. A lot of people got excluded because they dared to speak up, which is not a great outlook when trying to defend yourself from being an authoritarian party.










  • Well it’s a bit of both. Individual choices matter but not as much as corporate choices. It’s the corporations that manufacture clickbaity headlines and use psychological tricks to make us do things more easily.
    We can stop clicking all we want but if corpos are not forced to stop this kind of behaviour, nothing will change.

    It works for many things, individual choices are important but the orders of magnitude between them and corporate actions are vastly different.
