    This tendency towards authoritarianism has been going on for years in France. At least since 2007. And it shows no signs of stopping or slowing down.

      It’s definitely seems to have accelerated under Macron in the past few years though…

        I’m not sure if it’s accelerated or if they just don’t hide it anymore, just like corruption. But it’s going to be terrible, will get worse and then 2027 happens, which is most likely going to put LePen or other dumb fuck (proto-)fascists in power (like Darmanin or Macron’s cronies). And they will have a field day with all the shit that has been set up in the past decades.

          Maybe a little bit of both! And fuck I hope LePen and her ilk never get anywhere near the presidency, but with the way things are going that seems unlikely. But who knows, things could change before then…
