Agree. Hollywood and Wallstreet are great examples. Also the founders of Google and Facebook. It's no coincidence. Though I'm not sure this is nepotism as much as it is organized clan behavior.

I think Indians are even more so but there it's about caste and not just being Indian.

Humans are weird.

Are those GDP figures inflation adjusted?

I don't get your comment. The police can come break up mass gatherings without consulting with the courts first.

I think you're exaggerating with the Soviet Union comparison. But yeah, the economy and jobs market is pretty stagnant. What's not stagnant is the housing market. We're gonna be like Canada soon.

>Social media platforms like TikTok and Snapchat will face possible shutdowns when they don't crack down on problematic content

Ok, and who defines what exactly is "problematic content"? Let me guess, it's gonna be whatever the government wants silenced.

>"When there is hateful content, content that calls – for example – for revolt, that also calls for killing and burning of cars, they will be required to delete [the content] immediately,"

Aha, but if I invite 100k people to a meeting in the city center next to the parliament building for a peaceful protest, that will be fine and not get removed, right? Right?

You started calling people xenofobic for rasing valid concerns and now you want everyone to drop it?

And which conspiracy theory did I share? I do believe you're delusional.

>It's alarming how comfortable people have become on HN to announce their xenophobia so openly lately

Since when is it xenophobic to not be ok with uncontrolled mass migration?

Do you also leave your house the door unlocked and open for anyone to come in as they please? If you don't, and you lock it, you're xenophobic.

People are ok with immigrants, they don't care what skin color you have, they just don't want uncontrolled illegal immigrants who don't care about integration and adapting to the local culture and value system.

  1. Import people who are not exactly fond of France as cheap labor

  2. Allow people in who are even hate France but just want the economic benefits

  3. Factories/mines etc shut down or go abroad, thus making foreign "temporary" workers who somehow were allowed to stay, go poor and thus, give the excuse leftists need about socioeconomic factors

  4. Regardless of point 3. immigration increases further because we must maintain the progressive multi-kulti façade going and call everyone who disagrees with it racist bigots

  5. End up with massive social welfare fraude and jobless people who can't, won't and don't want to integrate

  6. Somehow plead for even more immigration

  7. Integration systems are too small and failing under the pressure of sheer numbers, real estate prices and rent go brrrr

  8. Enclaves and proto-Detroitesque environments are growing like late stage cancer

  9. Not even all the gaslighting in the world can make those who can think with high resolution, believe "diversity is our strength". Call them racist without proper reason.

  10. Ethnic conflict, religious conflict, cultural unrest ensues and grows, allowing for invasive privacy laws to be set in "for your protection"

  11. Keep open border policies going because otherwise people might call you racist again

  12. Act shocked as rightwing parties grow across the west

>sensitive professions including doctors, journalists, lawyers, judges and MPs would not be legitimate targets

Well gee, ain't that convenient, that the ruling class is exempt from the invasive laws they set. Privacy for me, not for thee.

Hey french people, maybe it's time to get them ol' faithful guillotines out of the mothballs, your ruling class is acting up again.
