tbh I would still rather have le pen

Because from the looks of it he was

just on the grounds that I agree with her protectionism

and strengthening of the social state

He is still merkels lapdog but he is at least not a muzzie lover

And his economics are sound

@Ruggwain Protectionism is a bad idea

It just inflates prices

It is only good for a select amount of goods

protectionism after the chinese model I mean

protect and foster your own industries

When done in very limited amounts it can help but it is only ever a necessary evil

from leaking out into other countries

It hurts the global economy

But it benefits your own

A bad deal can still hurt both countries involved

the african countries for example often suffer under free trade agreements imposed by the WTO

because their companies are uncompetitive with the outsiders flooding in

And because of overwhelming Chinese influence

that too

obviously nothing is only one factor

Please

The economy is flourishing unde free trade in Africa

Yes but China in particular is doing it's best to exploit Africa and give as little as possible in return

here a hot take

That is the literal opposite of the truth

Federal regulations didn't stop the klan riders, armed black men did.

Wasnt gun control originally inplemented as measure to stop blacks from owning guns?

The first election after the civil war ended there were attacks on blacks to try and intimidate them out of voting, armed black men guarded the polls.

Yes it was

The first federal-level gun control act, among other things, banned freed slaves from owning guns

This was in like 1830 mind you

This law actually makes a lot of sense

Some more forbidden history: one third of free blacks pre-civil war owned slaves.

You can't trust a former slave
