FYI this newspaper is considered left wing in the media spectrum
Also they’re the biggest anti-China hawks, totally lost their minds over Xinjiang allegations
There’s nothing more ironic than a French newspaper being called “Liberation”
There’s a reason why there can’t be a long-term socialism without national liberation, solidarity and cultural progressivism… with whatever this shit is…
“Liberation for me, but not for thee.”
Pretty accurately sums up most demsoc center-left movements in the global north actually. They just want the spoils of colonial looting to be distributed more evenly, like thieves wanting a bigger cut of the prize.
Fr they should have called themselves “Colonizer Magazine”
Proof of horseshoe theory? Tankies be coping.
The funny thing is Sartre, one of the founder of Libération eventually abandon the USSR when it went out of style for ‘‘Maoism’’ in the late 60s
Scientists try to figure out why things tend to rot twice as fast when located in France
Maoism is a potent leftist black magic that can induce political brainrot, such as becoming right wing, apolitical, horrid geopolitical policies and pseudo-intellectualism to people with bad intentions
Mao went very hard on the principle of “damn we gotta literally destroy everything before us because it sucked man” which I imagine would attract very angsty, emotional people. Most other theorists usually just explain the application of Marxism Leninism for their country and not expand it with original thought like Mao lol
Political defeatism is a real thing, especially with people who don’t have a rational thinking that building something is hard and take time. People with Maximalist political orientation will eventually become disillusive of their beliefs because it’s unrealistic. After awhile, they just realize that it is not the political ideologies that is important, it’s power and the power express on other and they’ll move to where the power is at.
If you can catch people going down the Maoist pipeline before they get into a hardcore, “everyone is a revisionist but me” org they can remain cool and do good work.
Most of the leftists I encounter in my country that are not in the main party and the vocal sorts are all in this “hardcore, “everyone is a revisionist but me” org” sorta thing already it’s kind of sad
Doubly so because we also have actual armed maoists in the country who are illegal and these people call them revisionist too
All living things age faster in france to avoid being nonced by frenchmen
Another banger by slammer
yes! yes! yes!
:slammer: :soypoint-2:When did we get a slammer emote lmao
Like 1-2 weeks ago i think
way ahead of you
I start sympathising more and more with those guys who visited Charlie Hebdo
What does this say? I don’t read french on principle.
“not before sundown”
Fucking hell, making fun of a minority group’s fasting practice when they’re actively being starved to death is a special kind of evil. Infinite 9/11s for the french.
honestly just remove cartoonist from that.
The French havent learned anything from last time they shat on muslims in their media?
Westerners have an obsession with belittling Islam. In a vacuum, I wouldn’t care, but they’re especially obsessed with Muhammad. They think their drawings and insults are somehow protesting against extremism, but the only people who respond are the extremists resulting in mass violence. The ordinary Muslims just silently think the westerners are bastards and leave them alone. Great way to alienate people.
I can imagine the smugness of the caricature maker the “ho hon hon zhese mussulmen sont trés stoupide! pour-qoui zey dont eat en le Ramadan! leur religion!”
Especially because I’m fairly sure fasting can be suspended in times of crisis, like y’know
A genocidal famine
The french deserve a thousand charlie hebdos.
Nope, we’ll have another #jesuisliberation, instead there’s need to be a lawsuit, make them go completely go broke and beyond
To be fair, whats deserved and whats useful/practical are separate matters.
It’s amazing how extreme the inhumanity can be. For instance, a couple days ago I couldn’t fucking walk, so I sat on the sidewalk, leaning against a wall. Some dude had just refused to help me get ibuprofen (I offered to pay for it) because he “wasn’t going that way” (he “appreciated me” though, so I guess it’s all fucking great). This fucking yuppie shitwad on a Lime scooter said “Have you tried not being homeless?” as he whizzed on by.
There’s this little part of me that would love to show these insects how it feels to be chronically malnourished, or how it feels to have the shit kicked out of you by the very sort of person you thought was beneath you. But that isn’t me. I don’t want that to be me, anyways.
But if someone put a [hiss] in this cartoonist’s [silence] and set it off with his [beep] and [beep] in the [quack], I would just shrug.
Drawing goofy looking starving kids, can’t imagine why so many people support Palestine.
Least racist western leftist newspaper.
