Funny how far rightists think CENTRISTS are SJWs Except Macron isn't really a centrist, after all he was hand-picked as a minister by a far-left Prime Minister and carried out his policies. The media may have dubbed him a centrist to get him over with the people and, technically speaking, he may not have been as far left as some of the other choices, but he was a leftist.

I'm honestly hoping Le Pen wins, if only for the fact it could be another severe damaging blow to the house of dictatorial corruption that is the EU. That's my thought. Economic globalization is terrible. The only people it benefits are the upper portion of the 1%. Dumb people can easily be fed a lie to the contrary, but it's clear that people who like control want more of it, and right now money affords them that. Decentralizing things allows more local freedoms and everywhere ends up more empowered in several ways. I don't care if it takes Russian hackers to break the ruling elite's grip. A means to an end. Economic globalization is better for almost everyone. why do you think people in the 50s and 60s could only afford 1 TV while now even the poor have multiple Tvs and game consoles, smarthphones and computers? the only people who have it worst are people who worked on manufacturing in developed nations. everyone else is way better on globalization Why do you confuse correlation with causation? The availability of tvs had less to do with globalization than it did with improvements to the technology itself. The only difference is that US labor was being undercut by foreign labor, leaving people to increasingly buy on credit rather than through their wages. That's not to say that globalization is inherently negative, but it's a tremendous tool for helping the rich get richer, the nation's poor stay poor, and it benefits the manufacturing nation more than it does our nation's poor. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash <cite>Zeus posted [p:878645464] in France's p...
