Frpol, the alt-right playbook, what's happening now and what's next
No video of the alt-right playbook impacted me like The South Bank of the Rubicon.
I could talk at length about all the notions I had but could not clearly formulate, but the one thing I realised is that I was way past my own rubicon. A member of the government challenged marine lepen on immigration and mocked her on national tv during an official debate because she was, and I quote, "too soft".
And things only got worse from then. The constant and violent repression of dissenting voices, the banalisation of nationalism, islamophobia, and reactionary rhetoric on general, the attack on activist movements, the increasing violence and control of the state, the slow disintegration of the governmental structures in favour of the divine rule of the president...
And it keeps going down and down. A year ago, macron decided to ignore legislative elections and picked his own prime minister despite a humiliating loss. Le front populaire, the centre-left party trying to present itself as a wall against the right, is weaker than ever despite a very successful campaign and what could be considered a victory. The current prime minister (another one) is a far-right piece of shit.
And the rest of the political class is following suit. Every single party took a hard turn to the right, save from SOME of the socialist/communist leaning ones.
Macron cannot be reelected (unless he decides otherwise) and his party is politically irrelevant, so as far as I am concerned, the far-right is already in power, and it will very likely get even more power in 2027.
We can't afford to wait until then.
