Comment on France in Shock as Conservative Leader Embraces Far Right
whereisk@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThis is only partially true. The propaganda money from the big end of town is what’s getting people to vote against their own interests.
How does voting for the neo feudalists does anything to restore the welfare system?
The answer would be to vote for the people that want a better functioning government, vote further left not “oh well, I might as well vote for the people that want to burn the government to the ground”
This is some Brexit level shooting themselves in the foot to spite their face. The British public is slowly waking up to “Oh we were wrong”.
I just hope the west will have the opportunity to recover from this tilt.

The left has the same amount of money if not more. They can afford meetings and propaganda just as well as the far right.
The reason the French far right is funded by Russian banks is because french banks refused to loan them money.
The fact people are turning more towards the far right than the left is because the french left is absolutely moronic and dumber than a box of rocks.
Also, RN won’t be worse than Macron. There’s nothing they can do that hasn’t been done by him and his cronies.

I disagree with most of those points but even if I grant them this still doesn’t answer how they think the party that hates government will run it better.
We saw what 15 years of Tory rule did for England. “They can’t be worse” - you’ll be surprised.

They literally can’t. You’d be surprised just how amazingly similar their platform is to the regular right wing of Macron.
See, they don’t hate ‘government’, they like it just as much as the other liberal vampires do.
