The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Thought that this was a joke originally.

That's rich coming from a party which saved the (partially) far right government from dissolution.

To whom? Macron, who refuses to respect the will of the voters, and continues to elevate the far right in France?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank you; people keep getting excited whenever France makes moves towards forms of leadership these days but I can't help but suspect that Macron doesn't want to eradicate the global hegemony America had held through recent history but put France in its place.

Demanding back a gift given in celebration of America's abolition of slavery solely on the basis that France was the one to gift it (i.e. ownership) is too on-the-nose, even if you tried.

Y'all can come take it, I'm not gonna stop you but I'm also not going to pay for it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, no, it would be us paying for it. Taxes aren't yours, they're ours.

THAAAAAT'S THE SPIRIT

"Welcoming huddled masses" is no longer US policy. Statue of Liberty is "woke propaganda", and US should now welcome getting rid of it. No horribly inappropriate/misplaced Ukraine warmongering justification needed.

Love you too bro. Now riot

Not just yet... we're waiting for checks notes the government to individually wrong every last one of us directly while not hurting our enemies in any way

I mean not me, My pitchfork is fresh, but I'm not going out until there's a crowd :) Murderbots will be hunting me down in the street.

My real worry is that instead of calling on the military to quell violence, they'll call the military industrial complex who will send in the murder drones.

Some programming wizard needs to secretly program empathy into these

I mean, they're the country we probably owe the most to.
