What do you mean they dont care about norms??

wins again. Now we have to make Elon a trillionaire so he can defeat him

Its for their investors who just want to see some metric go up. It meaningless in the grand scheme of things other than they can get more vc funding maybe

There is someone in my company whose last name is Bourgeois

God, if India became a socialist super power it would be so joever

Have to give the radlibs credit for once

I found that in people who seem to be misanthropic, there is another paradox where they long to be with people or rather a single person with who they can have a deep relationship with. Im not sure if there is truly any human being out there that wants to be completely absent of relationships.

If there are, then what do they value in life? Do they believe in any meaning? What makes them get out of bed?

Now that I've read Losurdo's Western Marxism, he definitely fits in with the intellectuals that Losurdo criticizes. Shame, because I found his analysis insightful at times

Honestly what is the alternative? We should let them get away with breaking the law? Yanis Varoufakis also had a similar take. While I agree making these people accountable does nothing to stop fascism, I don't understand how this is a bad thing.

Maybe it's just the wrong framing? Like you're not going to stop fascism by just prosecuting the fascists, but I do think it's a start. However I am confident that this will be the limit of how far they go and they will continue pushing neoliberal policies until their population is fed up. If there were an organized left this would be a prime opportunity.

If they let her get away with doing illegal shit, then i'd think that what she's doing actually isnt illegal. I think banning her would scare more normies from supporting her, as they would think she actually did something bad. I could be wrong, cause I don't live in France and don't have a good pulse on the people there.

I think to the average person it looked like Trump was unfairly persecuted because he never actually faced any consequences. And I consider the "average person" as someone that doesn't follow politics

It will be used against leftists regardless. I hate that argument that "we can't repress the right because they might do it back to us" when historically the right has always been repressive of the left

I agree that it wont stop fascism. At least holding her accountable makes it seem like she actually is a fascist, unlike the Dems crying that Trump is a fascist but also being super soft on him. So I think this is a good thing, even though its clearly not enough. My expectation is there will be another far right figure that will take her place if she can't run.

but I would rather not celebrate too loudly if I celebrated along with pro NATO eurolibs,

they would be delusional to think that fascism is defeated for good just because LePen is barred from running
