CrimsonOnoscopy OP , 11 months ago to news in Macron's call to 'cut off' social media during riots sparks backlash in France

There needs to be an alternative to both Macron and Le Pen. I would love to see Macron forced to retire, though considering his authoritarian impulses, it seems unlikely without a vote of misconfidence from parliament.

Note that I’m not super familiar with French political process, so I’m not totally sure how that’d need to play out.

Another time, don’t forget to set the language to English rather than Undetermined! It’ll give your post a broader reach.

To my eyes, Macron clearly has some egotistical and authoritarian impulses.

He clearly seems to believe that he knows better than other people, and has little patience for what they want or say.

I don’t think I understand what you mean. Are you asking about the origin of patriarchy and rape culture?

I think that this would be better suited for a tech news community, but, I’m not going to remove it at this point.

It did seem like they were speedrunning towards getting people to ignore twitter links.

Seems like these great powers - USA and China - are both increasingly operating outside their national borders.

For sure, improvements to law are likely to also benefit male-assigned victims. It’s mostly the wording I have a problem with- Believing that they can do better.

Unfortunately, it even used to be law and not just culture, that consent was not required within marriages.

It’s been a long and uphill struggle but this seems like an important step.

I do find it frustrating that in these discussions, the assumption is often implicit that women are raped, and men are perpetrators. Which is extremely false and carries harms to men and boys who are victimized, or anyone including girls and women who are victimized by women. The MEP’s could stand to use more broad wording here I think.

Can’t blame em for trying to win the cat/mouse game of adblocking.

IDK; I blame them.

YouTube has become part of the world’s social infrastructure. In a way, it is the town square.

Frankly it should be publicly owned.

Lula’s new regime has been a very hopeful thing for me to observe.
