Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

good.
Thank fuck, the numbers RN has pulled lately are really depressing. And Macron’s slap in the face to the left and olive branch to RN a couple years ago was just absolutely pants-on-head stupid. But corporatist neoliberals gonna corporatist neoliberal, I guess.
Anyone sane has looked at the far right in the US and gone "nope".
For context: the national rally, formerly national front was created by a former SS and and Le Pen, a lan proud of torturing Algerians during the decolonization war.
Their flame logo was a copy of a pro-mussolini group.
The man behind communication in Le Pen's campaign is a neo-nazi, formerly of the most violent neonazi skinhead band (GUD).
They are not "just far-right" but hardcore fascists.
They are not “just far-right” but hardcore fascists.
That's a distinction without a difference.
Anyone have any insight on why NR does particularly well in the south of France?
Pieds-noirs.
Racism.
They are near the second largest city of France, which also happens to be a very big support on the Mediterranean. Marseille has historically been very mixed, with very poor (colored) suburbs and also a scene of violent mafia.
Color= bad in the big city next door, whereas rich white = good in my town.
Plus specific case of Toulon, a city built around a military harbour, with ca. 80% french military voting NR.
It's always the soldiers isn't it. Police and soldiers. I wonder if it's more that a fascist type of person is just naturally attracted to such jobs, or if it's more a part of the enculturation those institutions condition people with that breeds fascism.
I'm pretty positive that fascist will be attracted to the military, which won't care much as long as they get expendable humans.
For police, I get fasch would like the position, but clearly racism / authoritarianism should be basic disqualification.
Marine Le Pen est la pire. Elle est comme Trump, mais en française.
