  • You're missing a non-formulated assumption that you should have diversified your investments, so it's 100$ in Amazon, and 100$ in competitor2, 3, 4,... Get to 10 and you have a good chance 1 or 2 will make it!

    What? You can't afford 1000$ of risky investments per month??

  • Am I the only one who wonder about a Hamas "genocidal" strategy? That they wish they could kill all Israelis, no doubt, but "genocidal strategy"?

    Are we supposed to believe they thought they would get all Israelis on Oct 7th or something??

  • Well, the survey does not show the distribution of answers. So my guess (it's a guess, not data) is the people living in densely populated areas answered lower numbers, and people living in rural or remote areas ridiculously overestimated the number of trans people based on how much of a big "issue" medias are making of them.

  • Unfortunately France is only lagging behind, but on the same authoritarian path.

    First thing done after terrorist attack: declare emergency state, a tool designed for cases where the state is at risk of collapsing because of invasion by a foreing country or violent insurrection...

    The police gains the power to assign people considered at risk at their residence. Very first use: assign climate activists at residence during the COP.

    Emergency state is reconducted multiple times without any rationale, other than vague "terrorist threat".

    One of the first actions from Macron once in power was to make it permanent, by passing its key elements in the law.

    Protests against anti-social policies or for climate are now systematically met with a violent response. People come out with an eye or a hand missing due to flashballs and lacrymo grenades. Answer from the government is something like "they had it coming".

    Cases of activists and journalists intimidation by law enforcement are multiplying.

    Give it a bit of time, and France will catch up.

  • Yeah, that's what the rest of us try to convince ourself so that we can cope with it. That or the idea that these people must sleep very poorly thinking about what they've done, while we're actually the ones who have poor sleep thinking about what they've done and feeling powerless.

  • What could they possiply contain that may harm him and we've not heard yet?

    He's an idiot? Corruption? Sexual assault? Dictator's dreams? Nazi ideas?

    At this stage, there is nothing that could deterr his cult, and he already doesn't care about his perception out of the cult.

  • And you'll have it. They have enough money to pay an army and you bet they will use that to stop you from taking their wealth. Understand that they have rationalized their immense wealth to the point where they trully believe they deserve it. You can see it sometimes in how they consider themselves hard working geniuses, or decide God somewhat chose them to be ridiculously rich.

    Yes, they will resort to violence (but not themselves, of course). But they won't need to get their hands too dirty.

    They'll fund campaigns, they'll own law enforcements and will wield it against the people, meanwhile they'll buy propaganda to convince as many people as they can it's all for the best. That's easy to predict because they already do exactly that.

    Violent repression of demonstrations, violence and intimidation against activists and journalists. Owning of all the mainstream medias and a large share of the less mainstream ones. All of that is slowly normalized.

  • Maybe, but do you prefer someone failing while trying to improve things or someone successful at trickling up money? And how do you actually know the alternative will not be a total failure?

    Any candidate is a risk of failure. Why would he be a bigger risk?

    At least if he wins, he'll show a leftist can win! That may inspire some more to get in politics.
