Guilt is one hell of a drug

They definitely are, "strangely enough", it follows trends of cost cutting measures on education that have been happening in the last few decades.

People want change, they promise change, no matter how bad of a change. That, coupled with a massive propaganda network made up of a few billionaires, and there you have it.

Money and wanting to do the same thing as the US is doing right now

I'm a tech guy, I work with it all day everyday, I love it and what we can do with it. But I also absolutely hate what's being done with it. I love the tech behind generative AI, LLMs, automation, computers in general, Linux, etc. But man, when I see the shit being pulled by tech companies and governments, it makes my blood boil, and I'm genuinely terrified for the future.We could do so much better...

So probably a strong -6

Oh for sure, banning Gazan refugees because of one lunatic is despicable and basically just an excuse. I really hope our government will be held accountable for enabling genocide. We let Bibi fly over the country multiple times after the ICJ mandate, and we've sent weapons and money to Israel. It's maddening...

It's because conflating the Jews and the Israeli Government is antisemitic. It's Israel that's genociding her people, not the Jews as a whole.

It's called a maryse in French and it's a kind of spatula

That's probably one of the reasons to be fair

Damn that's an angry response. Depardieu and Abbé Pierre have both been accused of rape, not just groping.

In French cinema everybody knew about Depardieu. He's publicly admitted rapes, multiple times. And we only know what has been made public. Seeing how he acts and what he says in front of a camera, I can only imagine how far he allows himself to go in private.

The Vatican knew about Abbé Pierre since the 1950s at least and didn't do shit.

They're no Fritzl or Dahmer, but being able to keep the highest recognition of the country, despite all this, is just spitting in the face of people like Gisèle Pelicot who faced and fought people like them.

Also let's maybe not rank suffering, it's not a fucking competition. The fact that people get abused at work, doesn't diminish the fact that people get raped or assaulted ? What it tells us is that, maybe, we should do something about it, as a fucking civilised country.

That maybe we should strip people of these decorations and titles if they're convicted?
And besides, because of shit like this, the Legion d'Honneur is a meme in France nowadays.
