Right now, France doesn’t.
Left wing parties made an alliance to defeat the RN but they didn’t get the majority, and Macron is trying to find a way to designate a PM from the center

You come up with an unusual opinion, people answer with counter arguments, and rather than explaining your position you come back with one liners that bring nothing to the discussion.
Do you have an example where the downfall of a society was beneficial to its citizens? In the last thousand years? More than one, so we can see that it’s generally a good thing?
Any source? I didn’t see anything like that.
Nobody ever said a democracy is the perfect system, but it’s better than non democratic forms of government.
What do you think would be a good system?
There’s a special place in hell for you
The fact that people don’t remember the vast amount of news reports on women accusing Trump shows exactly the limits of democracy.
With all the sources we have these days, information is easy to find and is available from a lot of different perspectives. It’s easy to apply critical thinking by comparing different accounts of the same story. But still, people feel that forming an opinion is not their responsibility, and blame the media.
Democracy only works when a majority of people take the time to think about their vote.
The only way this happens is through strong policy on tax havens, fair wealth redistribution and making it easy for workers to unionize.
The only way to make this kind of policy come to life is to get money out of politics as much as possible: hard limits on campaign funds and contributions. Having more money than you opponents shouldn’t give you an advantage.
You do realize he’ll get a presidential pardon the minute Trump is reelected don’t you?
They have a conscience, they have empathy, it’s just that they only do for their friends, families or people in their social circles.
Most people act like this. There are people working in terrible conditions in Bangladesh or China to create stuff the western countries buy at Walmart, forever 21, Amazon… Where’s the empathy for them? Where’s the empathy for the guy that lost his job 6 months ago and has been sleeping in a tent since, and only got 75 cents after 2 hours of panhandling?
Individually, we can’t help everyone so we often look the other way. That doesn’t make us psychopaths.
Furthermore, saying rich people have mental illness frames the problem as a psychological one when in reality it is a socio-economic problem that requires a political solution.
And the hell of it is that the ruling class is so far gone in corruption and shallow self-interest - so sincerely deeply mentally ill - that they don’t recognize that ultimately they’re working against their own interests
I come across this sort of comment more and more - the fact that sociopath billionaires extending their influence to the political and judicial system are, in fact, mentally ill.
Believe me, they’re not.
They know very well what they are doing. It’s just that their wealth isolates them from the consequences of it. They don’t care about healthcare, climate change, education, unemployment, because that’s for the 95% to worry about. They are rich enough to don’t give a fuck, and they feel safe doing so.

I’m not sure “secretly” is the right word here.
Israel and the US share a lot of Intel and military technologies.
I’m not saying that the US shouldn’t ditch Israel - they should, but they need to undo a few ties first. People here expect it done in a few weeks and that won’t happen.
That too
The Lawyers: “Noooo Mr. Musk, don’t sign those!”
Elon: “Fuck it man, I’m buying Twitter, yolo”
I think the most interesting thing in this article is the fact that some concepts central to semantics (analogy, connotation) or psychology (bias) kind of emerge naturally in multi layered neural networks of sufficient size. Also that it can sound like different personalities (overconfident, secretive, delusional) if you manipulate the weight or the proximity of features. I’d like to see the same kind of study but for midjourney…
But I’m really fucking tired of hearing about things we’re not trying to do because we’ll probably fail. There’s value in the failure, in the attempt.
Trump was impeached (twice) by democrats who knew it wouldn’t be enough to remove him from office.
I’m pro-Palestine, I think what Israel is doing in Gaza is definitely a genocide, but seriously, what do you think would happen from a geopolitical standpoint if Biden said “yeah, I think the ICC is right, please stop this genocide Bibi”? The US can’t afford to lose Israel as an ally so it needs to be subtle.
So, you don’t.
Alrighty then.
