CACs will cut off their noses to spite their facesSo the nations that raped and pillaged Black countries, stealing resources from them for 200 years, are now butthurt that people from the nations they stole from are following their resources.
All those European countries have a birthrate of like 1, they would have negative population growth and be completely screwed for labor force and social programs right now if immigrants weren't coming in.
I forgot you guys don't pay attention to polls. Only to act shocked at the election results.

This doesn't even make sense.I forgot you guys don't pay attention to polls. Only to act shocked at the election results.
He's happy and gloating because his far-right comrades won, but he doesn't want to say that directly so he came in trying to talk shyt without admitting what he was really happy about.

About right wing media, the landscape is also somewhat similar to the US.This. They let the situation deteriorate with uncontrolled and illegal immigration, weaker purchasing power, rising cost of life, expensive housing prices, inflation, unemployment, heartless neoliberalism…etc, and they wonder why the far right gains in popularity.
They are playing into their hands and making it easy for them.
But no way the far right would be this popular without pro-right wing/far right media sources . What the French equivalent of Fox News/right wing/far right media in France?
I also feel like the two biggest far right political parties in France, the « rassemblement national, the RN» and « reconquête » parties are controlled opposition. I just learned that Éric Zemmour, the leader of reconquête is actually pure Jewish Algerian by blood and culture . And Jordan Bardella, the main figure of the rassemblement national with Marine Le Pen, has mostly Italian and Algerian ancestry and very little actual French ancestry. I mean actual ethnic nationalist/racist parties would never allow ethnically mixed people and foreigners to lead them.

A significant part of the media is owned by rich conservatives that have no qualms about pushing their agenda. Several large TV channels like CNews for example, which would be a Fox News equivalent, but also a lot of popular journals and magazines, are owned by billionaire Vincent Bolloré whose companies make bank in Africa in transport and port concessions (and have been making money there since the XIXth century colonial period).
He doesn't shy away from influencing the editorial direction of his media which caters to the far-right.
But he and other lobbies don't deserve all the blame imo since even state media, another large part of the media apparatus, also delves into far-right/right-wing perspectives in the same fashion the government does.
All in all it seems like it's the far-right that dictates, even indirectly, what cultural wars will be discussed in the media, which puts the rest of the political spectrum in a defensive position at best.
About Zemmour, Bardella and how the far-right view their origins, I don't think it's a significant factor because at the end of the day, they all want to win. They're opportunistic that way, a little bit like when the Proud Boys get a non-white dude as their figurehead.
They share the same vision and agenda, plus they're pretty much white passing, and they're the most likely to get the Ws, so... If there is internal discontent over that, Idk about it.
Only fair that they should deport them all back home, because Africa is ridding itself of France and all vestiges of France.
Looks like this shyt was wild cap

The National Rally party gained 31.5% of support in France according to exit polls on Sunday, becoming the first French party to receive more than 30% of votes in European elections since 1984.
The far-right National Rally (RN) party secured 31,5% of votes in the European elections on Sunday, leaving behind President Emmanuel Macron's Renaissance, according to first exit polls.
Macron's Renaissance party, led by Valerie Hayer, received 15.2% of the votes -- not even half of National Rally's support -- a decline from the 22% it received in the 2019 elections. National Rally, on the other hand, saw an eight-point increase in support from the 23% it received five years ago.
Amid the defeat, President Macron announced he would dissolve the national assembly.
"I can't pretend that nothing has happened," he said during a televised speech.
Macron also warned that "the rise of the nationalists and demagogues is a threat not only to our nation but also to our Europe and to France's place in Europe and in the world".
The leader of the National Rally party, 28-year-old Jordan Bardella, welcomed the results "with very high spirit responsibility," "humility," and "gravity".
During a victory speech in Paris, he said the outcome was a "clear message addressed to Emmanuel Macron and European leaders and marks our country's determination to see the European Union change direction."
The president of the RN, Marine Le Pen, said that the French people have given "a very clear message" to Macron. "They no longer want a technocratic, above-ground European construction and increasingly brutal which denies its history, flouts its fundamental prerogatives and which results in a loss of influence, identity and freedom."
The National Rally party managed to attract the electorate by "organising a national-looking campaign rather than a European one," Francesco Sismondini, election polls Analyst, told Euronews. The party's main interest was to "pave their way" for the 2027 national elections, and "they made it," he added.
In third place, the left-wing Place Publique, led by Raphaël Glucksmann, received 14% of votes. Shortly after the results were released, he said during a press conference that he "does not have the soul to celebrate" as Europe witnesses a "wave which is profoundly shaking our democracies."
“Faced with the return of war in Europe and the rise of the extreme right, we will stand up,” Glucksmann said.
La France Insoumise received 8.7% of votes, followed by The Republicans with 7,2% and Reconquête with 5.5%. The Greens received 5.2%.
Head of The Greens, Marie Touissant, said the defeat is "dry" and "bitter" and opens doors to "all the risks’’ like a fascist and racist dictatorship in France and in other European countries.

just like politician's BS brehdom, they are BS'ing the electorate.
it's like they truly do not understand what is going on.
or do they? and is this is all part of the plan?
in the last circa 30 years the population of london (UK) has grown by 27% / around 2.x million people.
meanwhile the supply of schools, hospitals, roads, the tube, trains etc remains inelastic.
how is that supposed to work?

it depends on the country. what you say is true for france but less true for the uk.
in the uk eastern-europeans and even european southerners are targets as well.
does this mean they will remove french presence from west africa?

Wait until climate change refugees come. Not only have they fukked over the global South through colonization but they also fukked up the environment. If climate change gets worse than many parts of the global South will become uninhabitable. The west is responsible for most of the emissions of CO2 but black and brown people will be impacted disproportionately.
This will be a true mask off moment.
