Kinda crazy to me that he first pulls out the stops to block FN (their alt-right party), then later made overtures to them instead of the left wing. Like… fucking what.
Oh yeah, because not wanting 90% of my country’s media to belong to 10 people, or have proper taxation for richer folks, or good use of my tax euros for proper free health care and education for everyone make me a Stalinist.
I’d absolutely rather have billionaire fueled propaganda against brown people and the poor, all the while they eat lobster and literally burn the planet to the ground. At least that’s not slightly leftist, right ?
Macron et co hate the far-right more than the left, but only barely. Once the far-right was no longer in danger of being in control, Macron felt safe to fuck over the left by going with a fellow neoliberal shill.
They actually hate the left more than the far right.
During this springs legislative campaign, they spent more time criticizing the left for being dangerous, proto-fascist and antisemitic than they spent criticizing the far-right for the same things.
Meanwhile a few far-right candidates were seen wearing nazi symbols or heard saying fascist stuff.
When choosing a prime minister, Macron chose one that the far right would approve (our National Assembly can refuse a prime minister and it’s government) instead of one the left would approve.
Macron and his cronies are just simps for our millionaire and billionaire overlords, and they know the far right in France is more than ok with economical neoliberalism.
Pretty sure Macron wanted the far right to win to hand over the country to them, even after they fucked up everything as they always do, he could come back saying that he’s going to fix the country. When the left won, he just gave the power to the right anyway.
