  • It’s the de facto standard for many reasons, none of them being individuals’ choices. Microsoft paid and pushed for Windows to become the default OS on pretty much all OEM hardware, they lobbied super hard to push people into using Office, they gave massive discounts on licences for corporations, big and small companies.

    It has nothing to do with individual choices, it created the problem you mentioned in your comment though. People just became complacent and ignorant because of that, not the other way around.




  • The NFP handed a program to the central block, which they refused, they also made concessions which were also rejected. That same central block then proceeded to get in talks with the far right, conceding more and more with each iteration. The far right then voted to censor the government and do it all over again. Macron himself got involved in some districts to ruin the chances of NFP candidates to win the election.

    His plan is pretty clear, put the RN in power hoping they make fools of themselves and push his cronies as saviours.










  • Not much, it’s mostly due to the fact that in the last 8 years, Macron has wrecked tax revenue. Basically, we are spending as much money as we always have, roughly 50% of our GDP, but the revenue has plummeted.

    Most of the money has gone straight into the pockets of a handful of people, and these people are now massively funding fascist propaganda to prevent being taxed and paying their fair share.

    It’s a really easy problem to solve, framed as a conundrum, and fear-mongered to death.

    The problem with straight cut statements like “autistic people don’t understand social cues” is that, it really depends on many many things. Like your environment growing up, your personality, your culture, etc. It’s a generic statement with layers upon layers of nuance.

    Personally, I realized that people and social cues don’t make sense to me, most of the time, like they were born with a manual I never got.
    But then, growing up, you start catching up things and build on that. To me, the autistic thing about it, is that it’s a conscious effort to understand and try to make sense of it.
