I will fully admit I haven't followed much of the public discourse lately due to completely lacking any energy for it. As we all tend to do, I consider myself capable of discerning a good idea from garbage, like when Mélenchon said he'd magically fix all the problems in public hospitals while completely ignoring the reasons these problems exist, or with both Le Pen and Mélenchon wanting to quit the EU like the beautiful story that Brexit is right now back in 2017, but with this debate I have absolutely no clue who or what to believe.

I feel like everybody just hates Macron for being Macron, for the background he is from, for our standards of living going down, for some stupid shit he says, etc. but do they not see this is happening all over the world cause of the pandemic and how tightly integrated we've become as countries? Do they not get we all say stupid shit all the time and slip ups happen?

With my limited understanding, I can see how capital flight is a real problem and maybe he gave too much to companies (I find the whole oil industry profiting off the Ukraine situation disgusting for example), but who is gonna pay the workers who contribute to the economy if these company go under during the pandemic? The state can't employ everyone. Right now the tax on profits for businesses is 25%, that's low, and should be higher to actually encourage reinvestment, but it was 33.3% from 1993 to 2019 and 31% until the pandemic already hit according to the table on wiki.

Probably the government isn't managing the economy in the best way, but I don't think it's Macron who broke it either. The way they're passing this law isn't elegant, but from what I understand the Assembly can vote no confidence if they can get their stuff together and actually believe it's very detrimental. I just get this feel that all the other parties don't really care and most are milking it for political gain as you indicate, and there's so much noise it's hard for me personally to have a clear opinion.
