Julian Assange, unfairly targeted for exposing government corruption, or a operative if not independant contractable spy whos asking for trouble?

Macron approval ration is now below 20%

Jupiterian presidency doing well i see

They said last week they preped 60,000 Police. They are getting 90,000 police this weekend expecting numbers higher than a quarter million

plus military

i suspect that may backfire

grunts generally being part of the lower classes means they are just as personally affected by fuel taxes as anyone else, and they also tend to be highly nationalistic.

you bet

I'm wondering if that maybe the regressive left suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I bet that happens to both sides

thats why its so hard to get someone to change their minds

You're probably right. I'll bet I fall prey to it as well. "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge." - The late Stephen Hawking

@SolidHalon here's another good one. It's two essays explaining how private law and private defense might work. Audio version is less than two hours:

I like how the British people voted for Brexit and now everyone is trying so hard to essentially reverse the vote

like if they get any step towards their agenda of stopping brexit theyre like "oh thank goodness the people's vote is meaningless!"

"thank goodness we don't have to listen to what people want!"

If by everyone you mean a minority of people that are still salty about losing the referendum, then yeah.

The most powerful minority tho.

Yeah they're the "most powerful". You'll see some yellow jacket level shit if they back out of BREXIT

Individually, not collectively.

Imagin you're in a room with the task of doing something you've been asked to do. There's a couple of hundred of you and 80% of think what you are doing is wrong. What would you do?

Okay, you're not having a boxing match. The collective power of the people of the UK decided to vote leave. The collective power matters here

```"Nothing appears more surprising to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers. When we enquire by what means this wonder is effected, we shall find, that, as Force is always on the side of the governed, the governors have nothing to support them but opinion. It is therefore, on opinion only that government is founded; and this maxim extends to the most despotic and most military governments, as well as to the most free and most popular."
-David Hume. ```

But you were voted for by the ppl. They voted for you to deligate their thinking to you. They've got shit to do.

I like that.

Yeah that take is pretty retarded. You have a habit of falling back on random quotes from random thinkers. Use your own arguments. That quote forgets how fragile that rule of the few is. Look how fragile Macron's power over France is.

How is france anything but a sudden change in the opinion the people have toward the government?

Lol

I'm not saying it isn't a change in opinion you chimp. My entire point is that their views of their government changed and now they're toppling it. They have the power.

@Poppy Rider If 80% thinks its wrong they should leave

It didn't change you chimp. They snapped.
