Damn, they're not even subtle about this shit. Where's the outcry from the liberals?

They were cheering for her death.
There has been gun attacks against supporters of Lula, police officers invading their camp in Curitiba filming the destruction of sound equipment and nothing happens(mind you that it wasn't a police operation, the guy just entered and broke their shit). Faggots just cheer at it.
Liberals in my city defaced a mural at the Goethe Institute and nothing happens.

That image makes me smile for some reason

Does that mean this piece of shit is soon turning into food for maggots? That would be good!

Can someone please put a bullet in Macron? He's going to destroy France.

Californian secessionist/breakup movements have been around for a while. It began when the state itself was admitted to the Union as one state rather than two; slaveowning states wanted the Mason-Dixon line to cut across the entire US so they could retain their power base in the Congress. California ended that. Notably during the Civil War Governor Stanford (railroad baron also the founder of Stanford University) used a beaner to hunt down Confederate sympathizers in Socal. This person would later become California's first nonwhite Governor, Romualdo Pacheco.

In modern times the most recent secessionist movement began in 1941, when people in the northernmost of the state blocked off roads wanting to create the State of Jefferson. However they started their roadblock the day before Pearl Harbor, so the movement quickly disbanded after WW2 began. In modern times it's been resurrected as the SOJ51 movement and is largely done by California Republicans mad at the central Californian Republican party for being shit (every Republican Governor has passed gun control), useless, and totally lame (the CA Dems have a 2/3rds supermajority).

As one can see, both movements are based primarily in geopolitics. Socal is based around LA, Norcal around the Bay Area, while the northernmost parts of the state are uninhabited as they have no industry. This all exists because all three areas are heavily segregated from one another due to various mountains in the north and south, the state has attempted to fix this through rail modernization via Prop 1A which was passed in 2008.

Okay theory here, the plan this congressional elections loads of independents and democrats are elected as 'progressives'. Some big scandal about these elections will, come out, it will create dissentnand people will hate the democrats even more. Theni the sum er of 2019, when the primary season starts, Bernie Snders announces he will run for president: as an independent/for a third party. With this shock annoucement, a load of orgs come together on a "broad progressive front" and a load of the "progressives" elected in 2018 will run for relection with this new broad front. And, I dunno, President Bernie? I genuinely think this is what is haplening here.

the idea of a new US labor/leftist party will gain serious traction after the janus decision comes down and rapes unions. Dems will be forced to take a hard line stance for them or become irrelevant as labor stops voting. A new party for labor gives a place for those votes, even if it's not a truly national party it can probably accomplish as much as the free silver party did.

Did France learn nothing from the UK's experience of Thatcher? In 30 years they will curse the name Macron.

Well even the yellow unions (AFL-CIO) were talking about a Labor Party before the recent uncucking due to the Red for Ed movement. A new party in itself would NOT be a Labor Party, it would be a coalition involing a Labor party, kimda like how a lot of parties work in Latin America or continental Europe.
Also requesting the "multiculturalism is a byword for anuddah shoah" but with 'progressivism is a byword for social democracy'.

In 30 years the fifth french republic will no longer exists

More like in 3, Mélenchon gonna abolish it.

I'm just hoping they'll try and stop Melechon or try and fake the vote count. That'll really rile up the people.

In 30 years there will be a grand European Special Economic Zone situated between fascist Spain, fascist Italy, and fascist Poland. This axis will run from Paris to Berlin, everything outside of the dense urban core will be strip mined for resources. Joint European projects like shared fighter jet production will mean a joint European military, making NATO irrelevant and causing fascist regimes to just ally with America directly. It will be a beacon of markets and democracy for the entire planet, most of which will have been consumed by protectionism. Because of this Europe will use American coal, Russian gas, Argentinian beef and Chinese phones. The experiments of the last century - empty tower blocks, closed nuclear reactors, abandoned union halls - will be consumed by a new multicultural generation of modest women and chivalrous men. Class distinctions will have been eradicated as affinity to one's tribe and one's brand is built in the ruins of a failed labor struggle.

The only thing that can stop it is a literal Russian invasion. But even then nukes would fly as soon as Putin enters Poland, destroying the bourgeoisie cities in nuclear fire.

With what arms? FN will have become a subsidiary of H&K after Germany demands Belgium sell them Herstal. Revolts outside of Paris will be quickly crushed by a pan-European paramilitary force while revolts in Paris will be quickly dealt with by armed police. Eventually nuclear weapons ownership will also be coordinated by a joint Franco-German military command and the French state will have no more power than Bavaria.

Daddy XI and mother russia. Also civil war will slowly creep into the eu. We keep imagining that western europe will just errupt into revolution alone. Before france or germany has a revolution civil wars have to start in turkey, greece, the baltic states and then the iberian peninsula or italy. After civil unrest has peaked in those places revolution in the big western european countries could be possible.

I'd rather have local fashy fucks take over europe than that bald manlet come in and start handing out all local shit to his buddies. Fuck Russia.

please comrade I wrote more than that in my post. Reply to it all.

alright
unlikely, but better than vodka napoleon
France has a lot higher chance at actually revolting than any of these (maybe except Italy). The baltic states are completely dominated by liberal politics, driven by the sheer fear of Russia. Turkey is gonna become a NATO backed dictatorship under Erdogan the second any unrest hits up its face in Europe. and will most likely be used as a tool to supress leftists in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and the middle east

also, by "we" you mean Marx, and people who have read Marx right?

That was 150 years ago also history has taught us that revolutions are best fought in times of poltical disarray like war and mass civil unrest. I can't see how european revolutionaries could get weapons if they're isnt war zones in the periphery.


The balkans don't have to revolt in a socialist revolution, (hypothetically) the poltical unrest just has to be great enough that weapons from the now unruly balkan states spread through greater europe.

The PIIGS will split off into their own fascist fiefdoms. Such things do not interrupt the Franco-German pact.

Trump Joins House Attacks Over Investigations

nytimes.com/2018/05/02/us/politics/trump-justice-department-house-republicans.html


>Officials at the department believe that the conservatives have now gone too far with document requests related to continuing investigations that the lawmakers clearly do not support, including the inquiry led by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, into Russia’s election interference. A former federal law enforcement official familiar with the department’s views said that Mr. Rosenstein and top F.B.I. officials have come to suspect that some lawmakers were using their oversight authority to gain intelligence about that investigation so that it could be shared with the White House.

No shit.

nobody in the fucking world has acces to actual firearms outside of active war zones though

There is no hope, no future. None except fascism and tyranny and exploitation. It's grim all around.

not true, anyone with a lathe and welder has access to weaponry and anyone with a kitchen can brew ammunition

If this is discovered, that will implicate the GOP in obstruction and cover-up.

Goes to show the level of buffoonish hackery going on in House.
