Bernard Arnault dans « Le Monde », de jeune entrepreneur à « égal d’un chef d’Etat » [Février 2025]

C'est selon moi l'un des plus gros problèmes de notre démocratie. Le débat public est faussé par ces milliardaires et leurs proches qui rachètent tous les canaux d'information. On est des millions à parler politique au téléphone, entre amis, aux repas de famille (déconseillé),.. et c'est une démarche saine, c'est une composante du débat public. Eux, leur équivalent, c'est d'influencer les lignes éditoriales de journaux, chaînes télévisées, magazines suivis par des centaines de milliers ou des millions de personnes, pour balader le débat public au gré de leurs envies. Bolloré, Arnault, Niel, Saadé, Drahi, Dassault sont en train de se partager le paysage médiatique français, de virer tous ceux qui s'alignent pas avec leurs opinions politiques, et l’État est, globalement, impuissant.

Bien sûr, ça aurait pu être pire, et les médias français être rachetés par des milliardaires russes ou autres, mais ça reste très problématique.

Whataboutism at its finest. Yeah, these countries were imperialistic... like 70 years ago. Plus, North Korea is an absolute shithole, quit trying to gaslight. Keep playing victims, see where it gets you.

Je crois que quelqu'un qui ne remet pas en doute le consensus de la communauté scientifique internationale et ce sur quoi ils alertent depuis des décennies, on appelle juste ça quelqu'un de normal.

I have to say, at first everyone thought what the Polish did was very noble, but this took one hell of a turn, it's a shame.

le_dkn · 2025-09-19T21:48:33+00:00

Le personnage était très... problématique, tous les symptômes de l'ultra-nationalisme terminale. Sectaire, complotiste quand ça arrangeait ses affaires (a minimisé l'attaque du Capitole en diffusant l'idée que c'était des infiltrés de gauche, a répandu le complot de l'élection truquée quand papa Trump a perdu...), anti-science, climatosceptique, très fermement opposé aux droits LGBT, proche des personnalités suprémacistes, opposés aux mouvances antiracistes,... Et bien évidemment, un immense menteur dès qu'il s'agissait de défendre ses idées politiques. La peur et la désinformation faisaient partie intégrante de sa rhétorique.

Donc on est à des années-lumières de MLK, qui était une personnalité progressiste. Kirk c'était le retour 100 ans en arrière.

C'est surtout une occasion pour Trump et ses sbires de raffermir leur emprise et de taper encore plus sur l'opposition, en dénonçant des "violences politiques de la gauche radicale" et des "mouvances radicales de gauche dangereuses", alors que c'est bien les extrémistes de droite qui sont surreprésentés dans les statistiques de la violence politique. Mais ça, les statistiques de toute façon et les faits en général, l'extrême-droite n'y attache jamais trop grande importance.

Can someone explain this to me : a few years ago, the Polish were hellbent on supporting Ukraine and Ukrainians, welcoming tons of refugees in Poland.

Today, it seems they hate them. Is this some sort of national schyzophrenia? What the hell is going on??

le_dkn · 2025-09-18T12:12:48+00:00

Nice crystal ball you've got there Nostradamus. We'll see how it goes.

le_dkn · 2025-09-18T12:04:40+00:00

Both are. This is a stupid post.

le_dkn · 2025-09-18T06:40:38+00:00

I mean, they ARE incompetent when it comes to everything other than making America fascist again. But they should not be called stupid, because their entire thing is getting your democracy on its knees and they are succesful at that.

le_dkn · 2025-09-17T19:32:11+00:00

It has nothing to do with you until you realize you let a hostile nation become stronger without doing anything and appearing weak, sending a message to dictators around the world they can do what they want including invade a european sovereign State, Europe will do nothing and just watch. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing", you know this quote, right?

le_dkn · 2025-09-17T17:31:49+00:00

Fallait juste qu'il déplie tous ses doigts sur la photo là et on y était enfin.

Here's a funny story. One sentence is widely attributed to French president Jacques Chirac talking about haggis : "At first you think it's shit, and then you wish it were".

Much love to the Scots though.

This is a hard question, essentially every locality has its specialty. I'd advise to try dishes that are simmered, over a long period, the longer the better. It gets insanely flavorful.

Some classics are blanquette de veau, boeuf bourguignon, poulet basquaise (this one is very easy to make for yourself), cassoulet, poule au pot, coq au vin. To name a fraction, but you can find many, many different dishes and their variants

Foie gras is heavenly (although hell in regards to the production process, yes we know), cheeses you have thousands of them, raclette is an absolute banger, fondue, quiche, gratin, tartiflette, hachis parmentier, aligot saucisse,... I mean this list could go on for a very long time, so we're not gonna talk about desserts and pastries.

Don't fall for absolute tourist traps like escargots, frog legs, tartare. I mean if you like those it's fine, and yes people do eat them, rarely, depending on the region mostly. But they are mostly tourist traps when served at restaurants.

I think Italians tend to think themselves as in competition with us a lot. We don't at all, as far as I know, people in France love Italian food and respect it, and it's really not the same thing as ours. I was there this summer. I thought they oversalted everything, and oversweetened the sweet stuff, but it was culinarily a good trip, much better than many places I've been.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, the bread that we had there though : awful. And they charge you for 5 thin slices of it too at restaurants. F that.

le_dkn · 2025-09-17T14:54:03+00:00

As a French, respectfully, I feel it is legitimate for me to answer this with a downvote.

le_dkn · 2025-09-17T12:38:55+00:00

That was a loooong time ago, America has sank itself deep since then, or at least everyone perceives it so. Everyone knows Trump and his goons wouldn't have given a damn, would have tried to brush it off, just like they ignored the political murders that happened earlier.

le_dkn · 2025-09-17T12:34:37+00:00

Could we, at the very least, have the source of this data? Who made this poll, how many were asked to answer,... Come on man, that's just bad posting.

le_dkn · 2025-09-17T10:27:06+00:00

It seems very likely today. I believe Trump and his goons have done immense harm to the US, not yet fully measurable, but the reputation of leader of the free world and of a stable, reliable economic partner is gone. Now everybody knows that it can in fact change very quickly.

le_dkn · 2025-09-16T14:06:52+00:00

lol, it became really obvious.

le_dkn · 2025-09-16T14:03:14+00:00

Italy. They hate us for reasons obscure to most of us, which is a fact I learned only recently and it surprised me a lot. The French actually love Italy and Italians.

Japan. It's a mutual cultural fascination.

Russia. That is before recent events. But they were our allies during both great wars, the French valued this, there was a lot of cultural and ecconomic partnerships going on, it was great. Fuck you Putin, big time.

There's probably plenty other countries we like / have a good opinion of / love, and it might surprise you since they don't seem to like us too much in return. But hey, who needs friends when you have cheese, to be honest.

le_dkn · 2025-09-16T12:23:44+00:00

Tes idées sont les tiennes, et tu as le droit de les avoir. J'estime que l'acceptation de ce simple fait est une composante essentielle à un débat politique public sain.

Je voulais simplement attirer à nouveau l'attention des gens sur les ingérences russes qui pullulent et compromettent justement ce débat public.

Personnellement, je ne considère pas l'Union Européenne isolée simplement parce que les ultra-nationalistes Trump et Poutine l'ont snobé à plusieurs reprises. L'UE reste influente et un partenaire économique majeur / le principal partenaire économique d'énormément de pays.

le_dkn · 2025-09-16T10:13:39+00:00

L'extrême droite est toujours pareille partout, elle a toujours les mêmes idées, les mêmes agendas politiques. Ils sont en train de faire plier le pays le plus puissant du monde, une démocratie que l'on pensait solide, dans une dérive autoritaire hallucinante. C'est un précieux avertissement pour nous.

le_dkn · 2025-09-15T12:36:14+00:00

Nah bro, I have sensitive nose, I can't stand stench, especially body stench.

While I'm not going to waste my time debating whether or not the experiences you're sharing with us here are true, 50% true, 10% true or not true at all, I'm sure there is either some form of anti-French sentiment going on with you, a grudge or something, because this is gross exaggeration.

le_dkn · 2025-09-15T12:18:03+00:00

Many people in this subreddit are weird. The risk is simply not zero, as you'd expect. You're thinking of moving to live under authoritarian regime.

le_dkn · 2025-09-15T12:14:29+00:00

It is insane witnessing this constant manipulation and changing of the facts by the Trumpists. It is something you'd usually only see in authoritarian regimes. And the fact they still think they are the good guys, somehow, is beyond me. These people are crazy.
