It's nice, although a bit cheesy ;)
As others already said, autopilot. Withoutit would not have finished the game. I really wish you get to the end, it's worth it ! Also, at some point, I read a spoiler free-isb walkthrough because I was stuck with some puzzles.
Most of us frenchies tend to forget the outer world exists, and we're usually much more active on the french wikipedia pages than the global ones - especially for topics such as details regarding our political parties. Even in French newspapers it's often implied that JM Le Pen was the sole founder of the FN.
The English wikipedia article is not complete about the party's foundation: Jean Marie Le Pen did found it, but not alone. Since he was the party's president for almost 40 years, he's the most known founder.
Among the co-founders were two ex-Waffen SS, Pierre Bousquet and Léon Gaultier.
See the french wikipedia article for more details.
Of course, he did beat up communists not much later when he was in uni.
And he did not stop there. During the Algerian independance war, he is believed to have tortured and supervised the torture of prisoners.
He's been condemned at least 25 times for antisemitism, inciting hatred and discrimination, minimizing/excusing war crimes and piblic outrage (not sure about my translations, these are serious offenses in the french law). For example, he stated multiple times that the nazi's crematory ovens were a detail of the ww2.
He's been riling up the country against non-white and non-hetero people for the last decades.
And he's been president of a party that's had litreral nazis and neonazis in its ranks, which he never seemed to care about.
I agree with both of your statements, I wrote my post while being pissed and frustrated about Macron's anti-left schemes. It wasmore of a rant than an actual useful answer, and I should have made it clearer.
Edit: this is a rant and does not address the issue, just points out Macron's shittiness.
Well, Macron openly and blatantly assisted Le Pen's far right party for the past sevent years. Idk what he's playing so shocked about.
It was Macron and his cronies who started the train of "well the far right is bad but the left is anti semitic" on which the far right happily jumped. Nevermind that Le Pen's party was actually created by an ex SS and that some of their candidates were seen having some nazi fun with friends.
A french newspaper just revealed that there have been secret dinners and meetings between people close to Macron and the far right's leadership these past month, the latest happening 3 days after the national assembly surprise dissolution.
Grosse vague de désistements à gauche pour éviter les sièges RN, et les électeurices de gauche ont majoritairement voté macronie quand nécessaire pour éviter le FN ?
And it happened ! I was wrong, and I'm happy I was :)
Yes !
I was wrong and I'm so happy @poVoq turned out to be right :)
Not really. The scenario where the left wins the most seats is the least probable one. The two that can really happen are the far right gaining enough seats to govern the country, or nobody having a majority.
This will not happen. What we're fighting for today is depriving the far-right and its allies from getting more than half the seats in the national assembly. We actually have a chance to prevent them from becoming our new government, but nothing is sure yet.
Whatever happens, the next 1 to 3 years is/are going to suck a lot.
Mais cette déprime... Grosse empathie pour les grecques et grecs qui en chient depuis bien trop longtemps !
I've had a penis since birth and I can still have amazing sex without orgasming. For me it's more a matter of habit. When I started having sex, I wanted to orgasm every time. As I got more experienced, I started enjoying all the other stuff in sex more, and I regularly have sex with my partner without orgasming - most of my orgasms now come from masturbation.
As I see it, the biggest frustration from the left is that he makes right-wing changes.
The right pretends to be frustrated by his policies because they need to disagree if they want to have a reason to exist - and they've been leaning towards the far right for years to find a place on the political spectrum because Macron took their place.
A few examples, I hope I'll be able to explain correctly.
So in France we got something called the "prudhommes" which is a board that specializes in dealing with employee vs company legal matters. Usually, when you get fired and you think they didn't do it right, you go to the prudhommes and you can sue them for money.
The prudhommes are important for the workers because they can charge bug fines to the companies, and once one worker has won their case, it becomes easier for their colleagues to do so if they were wronged in the same way.
It's a powerful tool that kind of forces companies to follow the "code du travail" aka workers' rights.
When he changed (read: degraded) lots of stuff about workers' rights just after his first election in 2017, Macron introduced an important change: there is now a maximum amount that the prudhommes can force a company to pay. This changes the balance of power because now companies can now how much breaking the law will cost them and decide that it's the cost of doing business. Worst thing is, this amount can be changed by the government at any time without requiring a vote from the national assembly - this is read by many commenters as the start if the prudhommes' dismantlement.
In France, we've had (I believe since the eighties) a kind of universal basic income. It's far from a livable income (it's around 600€/month currently) but it's still more than nothing. You need to be french (we wouldn't want to share nice thingd with refugees, right?) and jump through a few hoops to claim it, but it exists. Until Macron, the only condition you had to fulfill was having no other income.
This is used a lot by people who are unable to work but can't apply for unemployment or sick pay mechanisms. It's always been the last safety: when everything else fails, at least you get something.
Since Macron, you now have to be actively looking for a job to qualify for it. Which means that if your unemployment office thinks you're not looking hard enough, you can get excluded from this income and have absolutely nothing (which then leads to homelessness and a whole life of fun). And of course over the past 7 years of Macron, the unemployment offices are under an ever increasing pressure to find people who are not deserving enough.
In terms of image, Macron took lessons from Trump: truth and facts don't matter and you don't even have to be coherent. Time and time again, he and his governement have lied, contradicted themselves... They are of course not the first to do it, but they are the first to not give a shit. Before Macron, they tried not to get caught lying, and when they got caught they tried to get out of it "that's not what I meant". Sometimes they even apologized. Macron and his government have had a different strategy: we don't even care.
When Macron visited the french carribean, he said in a public discourse "the chlordecone [a nasty pesticid wildly used by french companies in the carribean until y2k] is not cancerigen". Right after the discourse, scientists and physicians were like "well yes it is, it's been known for 30 years". Macron didn't even bother answering himself, but his services blantly told the press "he never said it was not cancerigen" even though he said it a few hours earlier in front of all tvs and radios. This is just one example of something that now happens weekly.
These changes might seem small, not structural. But they change fundamental things in the balances of power, the way we treat people and the way we do politics. Especially since there are lots and lots of them in a lot of areas, when you take them together, french legislative and checks/balances landscapes have changed a lot in 7 years, much more so than they had since the nineties (Idk before that).
Macron is from the bourgeoisie, is fighting the class war and has been waging and winning more battles than his predecessors by a lot. He is not interested in the status quo at all.
I hope this makes sense and answers your question ;)
having policies that make small adjustments to the current system
Well, that's not really what happened the past few years. Civil rights and social protections have been degraded wayyy faster than by previous rightwing (not claiming to be centrist) governments. Structural change has happened several times, making big changes in some areas. Macron and their buddies don't want to play it small, they want to make big changes.
Je suis un neuneu du fond et j'approuve ce message :)
It's definitely happening. Hurting the vulnerable harder than usual seems to be one of the many perks of hosting olympics games along extra pollution, extra corruption... /s
For those who,like me, didn't get the fitzgerald reference:
SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men.
