French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed to plough ahead with a campaign promise to reintroduce compulsory military service to France nearly two decades after it was scrapped. During his election campaign Mr Macron pledged to give all young people “a direct experience of military life with its know-how and demands” and said restoring national service would inspire patriotism and social cohesion.

“so you kids think the french government and military are corrupt? how about i MAKE you work for us instead. how do you like that? who is corrupt now??”

Friendly reminder that France is still in a state of emergency and hence in effect a really blatant police state.

lesbianism-that-sucks

-_- honestly fuck macron

he is working on many, many laws concerning the youth, especially the education system, all while not spending a dime on unis and schools and giving it all to the military

he is trying to make out generation more class divided, more obediant, more trusting of the govt.

a small “top of my head” list about his measures for young people :

make it easier for colleges/unis/… to discriminate against students from a poor background, both from checking the academic level of their high school and by asking questions like “do you volunteer or take extra classes in your free time ?” which of course poor students who have to work cant do

in france, we have the “baccalauréat”. it’s an exam everyone pass at the end of high school and the diploma gives you access to a higher education. it’s the same for everyone in france, but macron wants to make it different for every school BUT ALSO to give it a different value according to which school you go to - so a baccalauréat from a school in a rich white neighbouhood will be worth more than one from a poor brown/black part of the city.

in france, students are divided in groups who have all their classes together ( biology, art, english, you name it we’re together, we’re a team ) not only is that great bc you have people you can rely to if you have troubles at school, it also allows students to talk together to the teachers when they have an issue. macron wants to delete this system and instead use the american one

force students to determine what fields they want to specialise in at fourteen. FOURTEEN.

make it harder to obtain a spot in college. that one dont require much explaination

and this shit with the military

honestly, screw him. no wonder he complains about young people hating him. he wants a hyperliberal economy with an authoritarian politic ? all hes going to get is a new student riot ( search mai 69 if you want to know more about the time french students collectively said “fuck it” and went to throw stones at the conservative govt )

qsy-complains-a-lot

French students are little bitches. That has nothing to do with Macron and I agree with jk on a lot of these points, but just saying they are. We won’t have another 68. Now on another note, Denmark has compulsory military service and it’s ranked as the happiest place in the world, so I’m not sure how if there is cause for that much agitation.

The military service is fine, everything else is bad. But good luck getting a non marxist-leninst left government to institute a draft. It’s a real white glove shrug

I’ve been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for about 4 or 5 years and I’m thinking about starting to eat white meat (chicken and seafood) again in order to add more variety to my diet and get more (easier) protein. How can I convince myself not to feel bad about this? Realistically I know that I’m already contributing to animal suffering with the products I do consume and by frequenting restaurants that serve meat, but I’m still hesitant to knowingly consume something that had to die for me.

There are directories for local farms where you can go check out the animals yourself, and farmers markets where you can get perhaps a chance to speak to the person selling you the meat. http://www.eatwild.com/products/ The most ethical meat you could probably eat is wild game that’s hunted (they say harvested, but it’s stupid sanitized language) because otherwise the population would outstrip its food supply and there’d be a big die off every winter. That’s something you need to do yourself or make friends for, or maybe try craigslist. There are some lists to places to buy game on eatwild too.

What’s frustrating is that our recent ancestors had the knowledge and ability to do what you could call “biodynamic” farming, where there’s a feedback loop and almost zero inputs from outside the farm, but industrial agricultural policy promotes disgusting monocultures.

If we could figure out a way to perfectly mimic animal proteins with a blend of 15 plant proteins, sell them for a bit less than whey, that would probably be a great start to only eating healthy and reasonably treated animals, cost wise.

There’s also the “no death” option of buying whey isolate from dairy farms where they’re nice to the cows, but that’s even more expensive than just eating the animals.

And if you’re willing to take another step toward cruelty, just buying organic whey protein would be a relatively cheap way to get a complete amino acid profiled protein without adding too extra suffering to the world.

I wish there was a better answer to your question. We should probably have a mass sacrifice of 6 billion randomly chosen people so that those who remain can live in ways that are less immersed in cruelty and destruction.

any reading material on political economy you’d recommend to a complete novice?

I’d recommend the work of Michael Hudson, Super Imperialism does a great job of summarizing how the government obtains and uses resources, and who gets to do what

I also found the unrequited love post helpful in moving on. Especially the part about not letting someone else’s misreading of your character keep you stuck. You get to a point where you feel you are nothing but flawed and lose site of how good you really are. Thanks from me, too.

You’re welcome, and you’re all making me feel guilty for not writing enough lately

tell the truth. are you allegra versace

Hahaha she looks like @radianthour

Hey I went through this shitty fucking pseudo-breakup in 2017. It was not a good time. That post about Unrequited love you did back whenever saved my life. Its really horrible and complex (and im on a text limit) so im not gonna explain further. But yeah, that post was exactly what i needed to hear at that time. I feel like i owe you everything. Thanks. You can post this or whatever if u want. Its not private.

I’m glad to have helped. I should start writing more often. Good luck in all your future endeavors

RIP to all our lost friends
