Not really though? He’s using his position as the alternative to Le Pen in order to push extremely unpopular measures, which is absolutely the reason for Le Pen’s popularity.

For that reason, I absolutely agree that he (and other politicians using the same strategy) is no different to Biden

4B is highly transphobic tho

I’m from France. Getting a rifle is pretty easy, you “just” have to get a psych evaluation and a shooting club registration / hunting license. But that gets you long, manual weapons with small magazines. You can keep the gun if your license expires.

Then you can get a stronger license if your shooting club vets for you. This allows you to get handguns and semi auto rifles.

Any auto gun or explosive is basically only authorized for use for the military.

Oh and anything that can be used as a weapon is prohibited from being carried around in public spaces (yes, it is that vague), and protective equipment is subject to authorization as well (gas masks, bulletproof vests etc)

You can read more on Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firearms_regulation_in_France

Edit: Wikipedia does not seem to explain it, but A class weapons are basically military only. B class is what you get through shooting club vetting. C class is for anyone registered by a club / hunting license. D is adults only, with exceptions for criminals etc

My existence is not a political statement.

They’ve not fallen in perception to those whose medical opinion matters

Magnitude of force of a 40yo vs. a teen makes the self defense acceptable imo

True but still funny

Do you have a post clarifying how uBlock got prepared? I can’t seem to find anything

I’ve been a Firefox user for ages on all my devices and I have no idea what you’re talking about

Privacy Badger does break a lot of websites too

With Chrome killing ad blocking, they’ll quickly care

Sorry, I thought you were saying in subtext that we should only judge based on accusations since evidence is hard to get for abuse cases. My bad!

Not being found guilty IS being found innocent, that’s how justice works

Ah yes, do compare a reality show to a fiction cartoon. I’m sure Top Chef has such a greater impact culturally than Breaking Bad

So we should be satisfied ruining people’s lives based on accusations alone?

It’s not lemmy it’s just one instance of Lemmy

If you weren’t killing kids, displacing families, and generally a colonial ethnostate we would love to visit israel.

I very much disagree with the “no downvote” opinion. It leads to homophobic, racist and generally bigoted comments getting much more displayed appreciation than they should (see: any YouTube comments interaction).

You can say it’s the job of the moderation to take care of that kind of hateful content, but I prefer that content to be displayed as a rejected and challenged onpinion rather than not addressed or ignored. And for that, a quick downvote + sourced debate is better than an unending thread of wordsoup where even the most hateful argument only gets shown some love in the form of upvotes.

The estimated free labor done by mods is valued at around 3.5m a year, how are they gonna find that amount of manpower? And how are they gonna properly vet these mods in such short notice?

Mods already are carefully picked and yet slips happen often, if they rush a replacement (which they will have to do if they force new mods) then moderation issues will be a big issue on reddit
