Marine Le Pen is campaigning. She thrives in campaigning. Judicial problems are likely to come again in early 2027 but there is only 22% of Yes in a poll (by Cevipof) to the question: "Do you think politicians are honest?". French citizens routinely favour sentenced politicians if popular. So we may expect populism to grow and prosper in France up to the presidential election in May 2027.
Meanwhile the government supports brutalisation and shows that check and balance are a problem: the minister champions a law project to change the current law whereby a police officer who uses his weapon must prove that his or her shooting was necessary and proportionate.
Meanwhile the government makes military ceremonies enter schools: (fr) https://blogs.mediapart.fr/b-girard/blog/070726/patriotisme-obligatoire-l-education-nationale-ouvre-ses-portes-l-extreme-droite

“The new supporters flocking to One Nation are not so much attracted to the policies but the emotion – and especially the chance to punish the major parties for their inaction in the past few decades, but particularly the past five or so years.
Regular readers of this column will be familiar with the warnings that Labor’s continual march to the right vacated by the Liberals (who have gone further right) will leave voters who have hoped for more disillusioned and angry.”
#AmyRemeikis Truth to Power once again. Nothing Amy talks about shocks me or anyone else having a second look at our current curcumstances, but she bring clarity to what I think is the public mood of the day. We’re not just angry about our major political parties’ drift to the right and lack of gumption, we’re also disheartened that we’re in ‘more of the same’ circumstances, nothing is moving forward. Successive govts have been about as progressive as an extinct dodo. Political change is all just a hopeless shift to the same #neoliberal nonsense that keeps us all in the same quagmire, up to our necks in the swamp with seemingly no way out of it.
Major parties, PHON and IND (I’m of two mind about the Greens — wishful thinking?) are political minnows content to make ripples in puddles when what we really need is a tsunami in the lake.

A quotation from Adlai Stevenson
The government must be the trustee for the little man because no one else will be. The powerful can usually help themselves — and frequently do.
Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965) American diplomat, statesman
Speech (1955-10-29), “The Crisis in Agriculture,” Democratic Rally, Duluth, MinnesotaMore about this quote: wist.info/stevenson-adlai-ewin…

CW: Overload
I am convinced that every human #brain, even the most #neurotypical one, can get #overloaded by too many #details and go into ruthless filtering and #simplification mode. And that is what #society is experiencing right now.

Totalitarianism begins in contempt for what you have. The second step is the notion: “Things must change — no matter how, Anything is better than what we have.” Totalitarian rulers organize this kind of mass sentiment, and by organizing it articulate it, and by articulating it make the people somehow love it.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Interview (1973-10) with Roger Errera, Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/arendt-hannah/44768/

Pierre Poilievre already limits journalists to one question with no follow up so as to control rhe narrative and record clickbait for his fascist “X” followers.
His vitriol for left wing “radical woke” media now has him banning all press but his loyalist partisan groups.
Make no mistake, this is straight out of Trump’s playbook. Pierre will defund the #CBC while boosting right wing #RebelNews and other partisan media as our only “acceptable” Canadian news sources.
#PierrePoilievre has fully embraced the populist division of Canadians as his key winning strategy.
Those of us who continue to question his motives or intentions are soon to be ignored and banished from his palace if he is given power.
Under Poilievre’s Canada, those deemed “woke” will be targeted and discriminated against as part of Conservative policy, with no questions allowed.
This is not my Canada. This is not my Prime Minister.

Another day, another attack by the #JusticeDemocrats against Democrats, and democracy.
-
The #JusticeDemocrats just spammed me with another whiny email blaming the liberals for everything the socialist populists have done.
Can anyone point me to the NYT op-ed they're referring to?
-
New day, new anti-liberal spam from the #JusticeDemocrats .
This one says: "The Party needs new leadership that represents the working class, not the same corporate Democrats who got us here."
To make it obvious, this new leadership means the JD's.
-
I don't know if you've seen those toots, but I posted about various emails I've received from AOC and the JD's.
The short version is that they're choosing now to go after the DNC and openly push for a takeover.
And, no, they're not the least bit sorry about Tlaib.
-
New day, new attack from the socialist populists.
The title of the email from the Justice Democrats is: "Of course the establishment is blaming the left".
Note how they use the populist slur against liberals: "establishment".
After undermining us in our battle against Trump, the far left continues to kick us while we're down.

Nobel prize for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity
500 years of European colonialism, extractivism and the resource curse"Among countries colonized by European powers during the past 500 years, those that were relatively rich in 1500 are now relatively poor. We document this reversal using data on urbanization patterns and population density, which, we argue, proxy for economic prosperity. This reversal weighs against a view that links economic development to geographic factors. Instead, we argue that the reversal reflects changes in the institutions resulting from European colonialism. The European intervention appears to have created an “institutional reversal” among these societies, meaning that Europeans were more likely to introduce institutions encouraging investment in regions that were previously poor. This institutional reversal accounts for the reversal in relative incomes. We provide further support for this view by documenting that the reversal in relative incomes took place during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and resulted from societies with good institutions taking advantage of the opportunity to industrialize."

Trump: Neither unique nor irreplaceable - #GwynneDyer
"what if Saturday’s bullet had hit #Trump abt 2 fingers’ width to the right & blown his brains out? Half the #US #population wld be enraged & the other half wld be #secretly relieved, but how much wld really be changed?🫨 The #Republican Party wld still be much farther to the right than it was 10 years ago, & it’s sheer #nonsense to believe tt Trump was the sole cause for that slide into #crude #nationalism & #populism"

When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time.
AOC has been painfully clear: she's DSA, not DNC. She opposes liberalism and wants only to take over the party of liberalism.
But don't take my word for it: here's what her org says:
-
"We must confess that our adversaries have a marked advantage over us in the discussion. In very few words they can announce a half-truth; and in order to demonstrate that it is incomplete, we are obliged to have recourse to long and dry dissertations."
