'Marseille is cut in two': France’s election identity crisis
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2024
- Iman Amrani visits France’s second biggest city to meet the inhabitants of two housing estates with opposing cultural and political identities. Disillusioned voters have turned to the far left and the far right for answers in the most divisive election in a generation. Rising resentment towards the political class has resulted in non-traditional candidates dominating the election. With the faultlines in French society revealed, how should such a divided country be represented?

Go Le Pen! Australian Patriots are with you!
Thomas Jules do indegenous australians have their own le pen ? -____-
To those French unaware, there are more Australians buried in France than any country outside Australia. Your pathetic leaders in the 20th Century got your nation into wars they could never win, then relied on the goodwill of the Anglosphere to save their arses! How many French died defending Australia from Japan? Then you elect complete Dickheads, repeatedly, and wonder why your country is screwed? For the sake of the thousands of Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, South Africans, and your traditional enemies, the British who died on your soil, doing your dirty work, just reject any Leftists like Macron, any Greens whatsoever, and embrace Le Pen, or any Nationalists. Your country can be salvaged yet.

Clearly, France was never worth the sacrifice of Australian blood. Should have left it to the Germans.

Don’t ever defile our nation by visiting it, our air is too valuable for an oxygen thief like you!
So tragic. Such a symptom of the times when the French, of all people on this planet, are afraid to assert their own identity. At one point in recent history they would be in tears at the Tricolour and La Marseillaise. They actually have a law against denigrating the Anthem. Today they are like beaten dogs. How much longer has the French identity got I wonder?
'Far Right' = PATRIOT!
How about not making a country 'divided' in the first place? This is a direct result of very loose and weak national/EU migration policies, plus the widespread abuse of 'human rights' legislation.

Call me crazy, but I hope the side that is NOT setting police officers on fire wins.
Yeah, sure, it'll be much better if the side setting refugees on fire wins... ^^
Datguard you'd have a point if that was actually happening.
Datguard dear oh dear
emarskineel Violence against migrants is very common actually
such criticism. much constructive. so argument.
From an American, this looks so much like Pennsylvania during the 2016 election. It's uncanny. Mélénchen is like a Bernie Sanders, Le Pen is a Trump, and Macron is a Hillary. Left, right, and center. Be careful what you wish for, France. Our far-right candidate ain't doing so well, is he?
schutternutter How is Le pen like trump, she has many liberal domestic policies from what I heard.
schutternutter From a french, i think he's doing alright
He's doing terribly. Flip-flopped on Syria, wants to start WW3 in North Korea, no border wall, he betrayed his fanbase and turned out to be just like the other liberal neocons
He's doing fine. Reformed Obamacare despite GOP problems, took just action in Syria without actually escalating, N Korea will pull their heads in (no nuke test) . Le Pen will do a lot more than Trump because there is a lot more to be done. France is perilously close to a tipping point and Macron will not arrest it's downfall.
schutternutter trump is far right? He's more left than Hillary. He's the one who pushed for a trillion dollar infrastructure plan. It's so clear that "left" vs "right" is really open borders globalism and nationalism. Le Pen is against a banker who doesn't pay taxes. I thought the left hated bankers and loved minorities? Isn't it sexist for not voting for Le Pen?
Amrani did an article crowing about how "Banning Drill Video's WON'T Stop the Stabbings"...............THEN SHE GOT MUGGED oh the irony
"Far right" is a moderate position in reality.
No that is not right. You cannot compare french and american politics. They don't face the same issues and the same situation. In french we have this expression "comparaison n'est pas raison" (comparisons are misleading).
Far right is actually moderate position because the left has gone far too left, way beyond just far left, into the domain of lunatic left. So the current far right is far right when seen relatively from the lunatic left's position.
Le Pen!
"There is no "French", we're all immigrants?" Those are fighting words.
Isn't it funny that in both of the sample areas, someone other than the two final candidates won the initial rounds?
At 10:06 What is the music?
Regardez maintenant comment ça se passe avec Macro'n. Il fallait voter Marine.
Vote Le Pen now or say goodbye to France forever.
Not voting for a fascist candidate AND getting to abolish one of the former most imperialistic states in the world sounds like a good deal to me.
Datguard
Do you have any concept of what would be unleashed if eu becomes superstate?
... um
...
no...
btw nice logical fallacy you've got going there "if you're against that one thing you MUST be for that other thing."
I'm anarchist, so I'm against both candidates and the general system they are in. although, I am a LOT more against Marine Le Pen bc globalised capitalism is still a long shot from actual fucking fascists in power...

Yay dodge question again, you are good at this one, not answering the questions, like many antifa you prefer to get get angry. It's funny how stupid you folks are, in one case you decreed on USA Inauguration Day it was a good day to trash Washington, one guy a small time limo owner had his limo destroyed by antifa arsonists, because they want to destroy the elites apparently, that bloke who owned the limo was a poor Muslim, go team!
i wasn't trying to answer your question here since you posed the same question to me twice in 2 different threads, so there's no point in answering it again here.. is that your pick up line or smth? You keep repeating as if it's a gospel or smth. I don't care about your conspiracy theory on how EU representatives are trying to take over the world. If you genuinely believe that the only option for peeps is to vote for fascism bc of the EU being problematic, then I honestly don't know how to help you. I mean, what do you actually KNOW about far-left politics, for example? What do you think/know anarchism or communism are? What do you think the term socialism stands for? Bc, I've engaged with your topics, so how about you maybe try the same with me? Isn't that what open discourse and free speech should enable?
The idea of 'no good candidate' seems to be a running trait. In the US you had Trump and Hillary. In the UK currently it's between May and Corbyn. I can see so many people not voting. It's bad because that means a portion of the country get no representation, which is bad for democracy whichever way you swing.
I also don't like that things are being portrayed as Right or Left when often (like Brexit) it's more complicated than that.
Same round 1 result 5 years later lol. Except the fall of center right.
LePenn is mightier than the hoard.
vive le Pen, vive la France
Daughter of a far right nationalist, she is looking at post Brexit for a new role for France leadership. She is a strong nationalist and that is the mood all over.
RIP France
"And now the cracks are beginning to show" - you are aware that the protests against the loi travail have been going on for over a year?
Right-Leaning isnt instantly Far right you know...
You're clearly the expert. What is far-right?
Deporation plz
We dont feel we are represented by the politicians. Just like in England then ! K
We la Pen
I bet this a British produced programme. Hence the stupid jingle, jangle superimposed over the narrative.
They need a bath, or shower.
I think maintaining a traditional identity is important for a country that gave us chocolate bread and sex.
Geopolitical analyst Lada Ray had also called for a Macron victory, for numerous reasons. She also called for Le Pen to run as a presidential candidate back in 2012! Fascinating predictions on Futuristrendcast:

France is not Christian because the majority of people are atheists....................... Typical right wing nutjob, goes straight to religion as soon as you mention identity. That's what religions have been reduced to in Europe today: a stamp of identity stripped of any values or even moral. Not that it is a surprise given that all moderates left. Being French, in my opinion, is first and foremost recognizing the legacy of the Lumières which led to the French Revolution and our State of *Right* ( not beliefs, *RIGHTS* ). When you are trying to impose your beliefs upon us like you did by protesting against the gay *civil* marriage you are going against the very foundation of our State and fighting the very same fight against secularism that ISIS is. That we still have to fight this fight in 2017 is beyond me, next they are going to ask for monarchy back... Mark my words, History will not see you in a good light.
1:53 #Chemtrails ^^
Go Lepen
