"Emmanuel Macron, the French president, has announced that he is dissolving the national assembly, and calling for legislative elections on June 30 and July 7.

The French president said that he can’t pretend nothing has happened, that the outcome of the EU election is not good for his government and that the rise of nationalists is a danger for France and Europe."

    “Information”.

    Are their concerns manufactured? Like “immigration bad”, while it’s proven that immigration boosts economy? Like “black people bad”?, “Gay bad”?

    Did I miss any of the “concerns” that Afd party is prompting?

    If I tell you that your nose will fall off if you don’t give €5, that is not information.

    An environment where no-one controls the information is anarchy. Anarchy is not a democracy, no.

      An anarchy is an environment where no one controls the application of force. Information has nothing to do with it.

      Seems to me you don’t like democracy and only use it as a means to an end.

        …and nobody controls the flow of information.

        I think democracy is shit, when paired with unbridled capitalism and rampant disinformation & misinformation.

        That doesn’t mean I have an alternative. But it’s definitely not anarchy.
