Not every protestor is necessarily prepared to face big jail sentences.

Sounds like it’s time to destabilize the government and overthrow the presidency.

Maybe the Assembly can’t do it, but the people sure could.

Almost every historical culture has had at least 3 gender roles, third gender usually being ‘effeminate male’

two clearly gay women

Or perhaps, to phrase it like a historian - roommates accidentally buried together

“In the past, it was not uncommon for an archaeologist to find (remains) and say, ‘OK, this individual has a sword and a shield. Therefore, he’s a man.’ Of course, deeply mistaken, because it assumes that in the past gender roles were the way we conceive them today,” García Sanjuán said.

Just to put it out there, but no serious archeologist has believed this for a while.

Consider the two clearly gay women burried together in an Old Norse tomb, with their cannabis seeds and Swastika-engraved Buddha statue. The idea that male dominance and disarming of women is universal is not something anyone can believe after making a serious study of history.

Just consider the Albanian women who took up male identities to become warriors. Note that I’m still referring to them here as women since arguably these historical practices are less about trans identity and more about social positions.

Sounds pretty authoritarian if you ask me

So what this probably means in practice is that this power is assured to be abused to target activists and civil disobedience.

As is tradition, whenever a repression institution is created, it’ll be used almost exclusively on the left with a few token Nazis thrown in if they get a little too terroristic for the current tastes of the powers that be.

There are many examples of riots working, and many examples of strikes that don’t.

The English language article includes the wording delinquency. You’d say this is a false description, based on the French article?

There needs to be an alternative to both Macron and Le Pen. I would love to see Macron forced to retire, though considering his authoritarian impulses, it seems unlikely without a vote of misconfidence from parliament.

Note that I’m not super familiar with French political process, so I’m not totally sure how that’d need to play out.

To my eyes, Macron clearly has some egotistical and authoritarian impulses.

He clearly seems to believe that he knows better than other people, and has little patience for what they want or say.

Can’t blame em for trying to win the cat/mouse game of adblocking.

IDK; I blame them.

YouTube has become part of the world’s social infrastructure. In a way, it is the town square.

Frankly it should be publicly owned.

All that effort just to not install uBlock Origin.

Does it have that boring cartoon look of III, or is grit at least back?

I quite like that Beecaw doesn’t federate the Tankies.

I don’t really need a genocide denying group ofauthoritarians in my face first thing in the morning.
