What's the deal with the French?

So they form some big "left" coalition to push back against Macron and overwhelm le Pen's party in the recent election… and then they immediately nominate another neoliberal technocrat for prime minister who went to same schools as Macron? How could this do anything but discredit themselves and open a wide lane for more support for the hard right? I don't understand how France can have all these ostensibly left formations and still end up serving the status quo.

Yes conventional politicking math is that the opposition party gains momentum during bad times such as the present. And in a governing coalition of 2 or more parties, social democrats and socialists tend to loose out if they pair up with neo-libs.

So your prediction may be correct and they'll hand over the reigns to le Pen.

However i wouldn't say it's set in stone. There might be other factors.

Consider that this neo-lib political dominance coincided with western geo-political dominance. This dynamic began during the later years of the Soviet Union with waning geo-political influence. And it really took off when the Soviets dissolved. Clearly the west has lost geo-political dominance now.

Another factor for neo-lib political dominance might be the wage differentials between the west and the rest of the world. Neo-liberal political strength appears to correlate somewhat with big international wage differences. Those wage differences have shrunk recently.

This new neo-lib technocrat will be the one holding the stick when the Russians finish off Ukraine, probably with a ww2 style total victory, because western diplomacy is not operational atm and likely fail at negotiating a deal. His ruling class constituency will demand military intervention, and that is something the French population will not tolerate, and then he might fizzel out like Macron.

To be fair i don't really know how big of a role these external factors play. I'm just pointing out that material conditions have somewhat changed. And it's no longuer certain that the political dynamics of the last 40 to 50 years still apply.

Congratulations dumbasses, you proved Macron can activate you at will and you'll always, always be behind.

I keep telling people, he's President for Life, until he cuts the crap and declares himself Jupiter revived for real.

I get your frustration that the neo-lib anti-democracy inserts aren't getting purged on sight but for Macron specifically his political career looks like its over tho.

He blew his political fortunes when he tried to get official French troops involved in Ukraine. That was sort of the last straw. They're probably going to park him in some pompous but irrelevant Nato bureaucracy gig.

What really exists but Macron? The latest Le Pen faggotry? If he goes, they can pull another from the same milieu as Jupiter, who will do the same things with a new face.

You have to get out of this idea that politics is about narratives or stories. That's some next level Germanic faggotry. It's not a personality cult or a taste competition. People in the end vote for authority and who will rule, not what smells nice to them. They're not voting for their best friend or the hottest woman in porn. They're voting for whatever they think matches what they want this world to be or expect the rulers to do - and the only thing people can vote for in the end is "status quo" and whomever most represents that. No one is suggesting that there would be anything else, for France or the rest of the world.

Besides, I think Jupiter is a lot savvier than retards think it is, when they obsess over projection. He showed that he can get the left to march behind him, and narrative-followers ask like retards why they're losing yet again. It's like taking candy from a baby. If he can do that, he can do that in another formulation. The Rightists will always fall in line because they're slaves, and know it. It's funny to see them cry tears over their own failure and impotence, and when the Rightists think they're dealing with reality, it's the same faggotry they've said on repeat since the 1990s. They have no other idea and need no other. They are fags, now and forever.

At the end of the day, the only thing that displaces Macron is another who is very much like him, appealing to the same interests that were for him, who are ready for it and have wanted this for a long time. They want it more than anything these fags doing performative politics will ever know.

Maybe there is a reshuffling of who is favored, different privileges doled out in the top echelons of society and dribbled down. It's very easy to feed slop to the lower orders and they'll think they received a gift from God. Every time you do the performative politics ideology, you feed that. I don't know why you faggots keep doing it.

Politics after 2000 is entirely an interest of the top echelons - and really this is how it always is. Mass politics was always a delusion when it was done in this abstracted way, divorced from anything a mass political base does. There is this strange and infantile belief that politics is ruled by "me wantee" and empty sentiments, and it's always faggotry. In the past, there were more crumbs handed down, and less ability to really impose will on the lower orders. It was easier for us to keep our head down and let the rulers do their thing, and there was enough self-interest to keep this functional enough. After 1970, it was open season. The favored interests of the middle clamored for blood far more than the rulers themselves - just as they were trained. Every time you encourage that, you're only becoming a greater and deeper fag.

But he writes amazing prose, and I'm curious about the concept.
