I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:

  1. Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.

  2. Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.

  3. Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.

  4. Endorsing or supporting extrajudicial, nonexecutive or nonwar violence is prohibited.

  5. Using slurs is expressly prohibited.

  6. Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

Raphaël Glucksmann isn't even remotely far-left, he's more a center-left kind of guy. In fact, the french wikipedia article about the party he cofounded explicitly states "left to center-left".

Dear God no. Trump will make a giant golden statue of himself you fools!

perfect for people to dream about the symbolic gesture of toppling it after they shoot him through the skull, but only in a dream because the only ones willing to riot and take up arms are the ones allied with him even while he actively fucks them over.

Let him do it. It would be the most vandalized statue in modern history.

I feel like Trump would have a bigger replica made in red, white, and blue and I don't know how I feel about that.

Don't give him ideas!

Anyone who isn’t literally crushing orphans right now is radical left. Simply advocating for increasing the monthly orphan squishing quota is not enough anymore.

I appreciate the thought, but there's something else they could do that would be much easier than moving an entire statue across an ocean, and it would save the world a ton of trouble in the process.

Spraying it with ghost goo and playing '80s pop?
