Not really though? He’s using his position as the alternative to Le Pen in order to push extremely unpopular measures, which is absolutely the reason for Le Pen’s popularity.

For that reason, I absolutely agree that he (and other politicians using the same strategy) is no different to Biden

4B is highly transphobic tho

Strong disagree. If the cornerstone of your candidacy is “I’m not the other guy” then you’ve lost already

I’m from France. Getting a rifle is pretty easy, you “just” have to get a psych evaluation and a shooting club registration / hunting license. But that gets you long, manual weapons with small magazines. You can keep the gun if your license expires.

Then you can get a stronger license if your shooting club vets for you. This allows you to get handguns and semi auto rifles.

Any auto gun or explosive is basically only authorized for use for the military.

Oh and anything that can be used as a weapon is prohibited from being carried around in public spaces (yes, it is that vague), and protective equipment is subject to authorization as well (gas masks, bulletproof vests etc)

You can read more on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_France

Edit: Wikipedia does not seem to explain it, but A class weapons are basically military only. B class is what you get through shooting club vetting. C class is for anyone registered by a club / hunting license. D is adults only, with exceptions for criminals etc

They’ve not fallen in perception to those whose medical opinion matters

True but still funny

Sorry, I thought you were saying in subtext that we should only judge based on accusations since evidence is hard to get for abuse cases. My bad!

Not being found guilty IS being found innocent, that’s how justice works

Ah yes, do compare a reality show to a fiction cartoon. I’m sure Top Chef has such a greater impact culturally than Breaking Bad

So we should be satisfied ruining people’s lives based on accusations alone?

As insignificant as it was I actually liked having karma
