when le pen talks about saving french civilization, she may have a point - because macron is going to sell off the country to the highest bidder, while pushing down crushing austerity from the banks. all of her rhetoric makes far more sense when directed at her immediate opponent, because all of a sudden it's actually true.

how much would disney pay for the eiffel tower, anyways? it's ok - it'll trickle down.

macron is a far greater threat to french civilization than islamic terrorism ever will be.

so, this is more dangerous than you think. i probably wouldn't vote at all, because...i mean, you can vote for the banks or the kremlin. fuck that. the banks are in some way better than the kremlin, right? good luck writing that essay.

the reality is that if the average french voter is to be expected to vote on self-interest, it's not at all clear that macron is the preferable option.
