I voted against my personal interests for the party who would try to do something about it. Then Macron said we voted wrong, and named a right-wing prime minister anyway.

The next step is Molotov cocktails I guess?

and the latter could have no influence in the election on the score of the Negroes

Could you explain this sentence please? English isn’t my first language and I can’t make sense of it.

I don’t know, I’m far from being an expert but from what I’ve read immigrants have been sold a paradise and are under immense pressure to succeed because their whole family or even village pooled their resources together for the wonderboy to go to Europe and make it. When they call back home they don’t give bad news, they just say everything is great even if they spend their days begging under a bridge. And so the cycle repeats.

Anyways, it’s been this way for decades, if the free market had any influence on the human trafficking industry it would have kicked in by now…

Economics works there too, though. More passages means lower ticket prices, and at some point people will actually be able to demand “luxuries” like standing room, or else not use that guy.

Nah they already paid upfront, they’re scared and disoriented, and even if they knew of another smuggling outfit there’s no way they’re demanding anything. Smugglers beat or even kill their clients for the pettiest shit, to make an example and make sure everyone behaves.

Sean, I only want to be a dictator for one day, and I’m going to close the borders and drill, baby drill. But after that, I never want to be a dictator.

The thing with Trump is there’s a chance he actually believes a) this is a reasonable take, and b) he’d be able to accomplish these goals in one day.

Don’t try to find a deeper meaning in Ben Garrison’s cartoons lol. If MAGA wins there will be no storms, it will all be sunshine and rainbows, and you will be FREE. If the demonrats win DEATH will come and you will DIE.

That’s all there is to it really.

Like it or not, ads are still the most popular way to pay for online content. I despise ads and I hope some kind of micro-payment solution catches on and offers an alternative, but until then there needs to be a way to reward people for their work, so ads and full-on subscriptions it is.

“Donating boats” to human traffickers won’t fix anything, they already have the resources, they’re just scum who provide the absolute minimum without regard for human life.

If you want to help (and piss off the far-right) you can donate to sea rescue NGOs.

I have friends from high school who fell into the alt-right rabbit hole. They are obsessed with transgenderism. If you believe their depressing timelines, trans people are absolutely everywhere, behaving like total degenerates and grooming kids left and right. They send me an unhealthy amount of videos to prove their claims.

Meanwhile in the real world, I’ve encountered maybe 5 trans people that I recognized as such, and they were behaving normally, and not one tried to groom my kids! But if I tell them that they dismiss it on account of my woke mind virus / Trump derangement syndrome. They’re single, don’t have kids, and spend most of their time doomscrolling or watching the French version of Fox News, but they know better than me what’s going on in my kids’ school…
