THATS WHAT I BEEN TALKING ABOUT!!! How can France let a literal kindergarten run for "'prime minister (president for people in real Democratic countries like the US BABY 😒🇺🇲🦅🦅)"'
@@josk8936 I too like being ruled by a dinosaur. Also the US is about as much a democracy as an ant colony is. You couldn't look up the definition of republic if the dictionary was flipped open to the page with REP words. Being a nationalist for the united states when we had full on wars and the founding fathers all decided that loyalism is better than federalism is crazy but you wouldn't have actually learned that from our "amazing" education. The united states spends roughly half of the gdp, if you account for inflation, on government spending which puts it solidly in the socialist country category.
In Australia one of our ex prime ministers who retired from politics 26 years ago just turned 80.. seems crazy to me that both primary candidates in the us are 80..
A few corrections on France : - A coalition was created between moderate and far left, so all results for the left are actually for the whole left - The left coalition while supporting increased spending also support increasing taxes. Every other party says they're the most financially irresponsible but Macron lowered taxes without a plan for making up the difference and the far right has an extremely ambiguous position on everything which isn't immigration - Macron isn't running for president in 2027 unless the constitution changes to allow him a third term Edit to add info on the two round system : The vote on Sunday was a qualification round. If no one gets a majority, the first two or three candidates can move on to the second round which will happen next Sunday This is important because the parties from centre right to far left have instructed their nominees to step down if they came third in the race and if there is a risk of the far right winning the assembly seat. So although the far right came first in the first round there's a good chance they won't win enough seats to have a majority in the assembly
Fun fact about Bardella the 28 y/o dude He is extremely under qualified, dropped out of college and basically never worked in his life, however people found out he used to be a huge gamer and a call of duty youtuber, people found his old youtube channel and forums accounts, making him (if he’s actually elected) the first incel prime minister of the history of mankind
What people should know, is that Jordan Bardella had a Call Of Duty letsplay youtube channel when he was younger, meaning he's very qualified to run a country.

Tbf is true thay is a cultural problem that makes it so bad but since every develop and some developing countries are under the replacement rate it wouldnt work either way
Tbf it wasn't about protesting the state of the water. It's because the idea of shitting on their president and capital's mayor (literally) was too good of an opportunity to pass up.
French politics kinda reminding me of canada right now liberals losing votes just lost toronto which is a massive loss for their party and are actively trying to say if you vote for conservatives you are ruining the country which is not how you gain supporters
*while they themselves are ruining the country by every metrics that matters. Basically blaming conservatives for being negative and pointing out their bad ideas.
What annoys me the most is that Canadians are so thick that they continue the party duopoly. Like the conservatives have any real different economic policies that aren't just the liberals with more privatization and anti union positions. The short term memory of Canaidians is upsetting.
A little insight that is not well known at all: the French president does not have to nominate the prime minister from the majority. The president can nominate anyone, it's described extremely briefly in the constitution. It's just been a tradition that presidents have been following so far but they don't have to. To be honest, I'm not sure what he's gonna do. I'm not convinced he knows either.
@@TheSkulldraw That's pretty accurate, in fact by American standards, I would consider Macron to be leaning further on the right than Le Pen. Macron advocates for the free market. The French far right first focus is identity politics and then socialism. Also they want to push immigrants out of social benefits programs, which is Macron's wet dream for the entire population. They only get labeled as far right because of the identity politics focus. In my opinion these labels are all dumb.
@@TheSkulldraw No. There's literally nothing leftist about RN aside from their paying lip service to purchasing power (which everyone does, including republicans in the US). They're firmly right wing in pretty much any western context.
As a french dude living in France, I can comfirm that it is great resume of our conflit. Just so everyone knows a bit more information, the Centric party (Not so centric) Macron, has spent 7 years mocking the french by basically saying "I know what is best for you, you don't". This is what brought the RN (Extrem right party) to get chance to power. But after this sudden vote, the left side united (with some problems of course but mainly positivily) and they came to an agreement to unit under "Le Nouveau Front Populaire". The issue on the left is that not all left voters want the left because it reunits ALL the left (extrem to centric). The RNs goal is to reduce immigration since, and I quote "All our problems comes from immigration" . The NFP is to make the working class get payed more "get the minimum wage at 1600" and have a better definition in terms of taxe rates. In any case great resume, and I never gonna be able to look at Bardella without picturing Gruu now xD.
Fellow French dude here. I'd like to elaborate about the analogy at 10:53 which I think could help better explain how Macron in particular got so unpopular: While the analogy kinda holds for some previous presidencies, Macron's would get as ridiculous as "Imma quit my job and give the baker my 401k so he can chose (or not but shhhhh) to expand and output more baguettes". Needless to say, the bigger players (for the most significant part) opted to just grab the money and call it a day.

The issue with “I’m tired of the boring way so I’m gonna try the radical way” is that, if the radical way is even worse, there’s a strong chance you won’t be able to just “try” the boring way again. That’s the thing about radicalism
The point wasn't that they're "tired of the boring way," it's that the "boring way" has not improved their lives at all while being promised it will so now they'll try something else
Radicalisation is always a gamble, Argentina for example was on the utter ruin so they chose Milei because he had a chance of solving sh!t (His opponent Massa didn't, he was basically running the country and the country was on shambles because of him), and if he failed it would have been the same as Massa winning and turning argentina into the new venezuela just a little earlier. Countries like Spain, US, France, Canada are not in the "utter sh!t" like argentina, they are slowly falling into sh!t. What's true is that Milei's influence flipped the whole political scale from a global viewpoint (much, much more than trump or biden would ever do). Times are indeed changing and it won't be long for a new political party of libertarians to start surging (Milei is assosiated with the right because he hates the left, but it's something like a "WW2 US-USSR" relationship against germany, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", the difference is that certain policies of the right are contrarian to Milei's ideology of liberty, but for now it's the current situation). The Left has no clear leader figure, apart from concepts like "World Leaders" or "2030 Agenda" (like for example Marx was for the Communism). In this case The conservatives have Trump. Libertarians have Milei. The... Autoritarians I guess have Bukele (ironically is the direct opposite of Milei on a political scale and they get along pretty well respecting each country's management).
Not gonna happen, at worst the opposition will do the only thing they know "to oppose", and nothing will happen. You always assume things will go like in Germany as soon as something a bit more conservative gets the power, but that's just not true lol.
@@solidtoto Exactly, our political systems (especially in the US) are too dynamic for these kind of things to just get taken over like that. I know someone is going to eventually comment 'Well you think that until it ends up happening' but there's literally sooo many hoops that have to be jumped through, it's just so hard for someone to take over this country the political route.

But it is really funny that the American thinks they are "standard centrist". Says a lot about America really...
Yes, but the CDU/CSU themselves always claim that they are the center between the far right AfD and far left The Greens. Despite even the party called The Left not being as left as the AfD is right.
The biggest takeaway I’ve had about AI is that it’s not going to replace service. It also shouldn’t, because the margin of money saved is so little compared to replacing higher ups in a company.

I certainly do not want to work in a Foxconn factory, but, to be fair, when the dozen of suicides of factory workers were talked about a few years back, reports failed to highlight how many people actually lived on their manufacturing site which was 300k. That is like the population of Pittsburgh!

Immigration over the past decade has become so out of control in European countries, that a lot of these right winged politicians are opposed to and I believe that's also where a lot of the public sway towards the right comes from.
Absolutely love rocket money. A few months ago i was struggling to afford things like rent and food and rocket money helped me figure out what little things i was buying on routine and helped me manage my margins to a point where i now don't really have to worry about it as much
Leaving immigration control out of the equation in european politics is both stupid and cowardly. If you want to be credible talking about international news/trends you wont cut it by avoiding issues that goes against your narrative and/or sidestepjng politically charged issues.
Yes and no, the main issues that people in France care about according to polls are delinquency (38%) and purchasing power (34%), which is what a lot of the campaigning by RN has leaned on for the past couple of years. Following those are environmental issues (29%), social inequality (26%), the economy (26%), health care (25%), geopolitics (23%) and *then* immigration (22%). That's the "no" part. The "yes" part is that RN (and to some extent Macron himself) have linked a lot of those issues to immigration and spooky leftists. Honestly if you really want to get into *why* people are voting the way they are, it takes a lot more than just throwing out "they want stricter immigration control". It's part of the equation for sure, but it's not the whole picture at all. The internal failings of the French left, distrust towards the EU, poor handling of security issues by the state (police got defunded under the previous Sarkozy right wing government after he campaigned on security issues), Macron's sabotaging of traditional left and right parties, the evolution of private French media towards conservatism and a RN that's a lot less overtly racist than they used to be are also key factors
@@Teddy_k847 Delinquants. If everyone agreed with you (and RN) that delinquency was directly linked to immigration, immigration would be seen as as big an issue as delinquency, but it isn't.
As a French there’s a couple of things I’d like to say/clarify about our situation, first macron is not really centrist but way more on the right/liberal end of our political spectrum, also big A talks about the "extremes" at the gate of power when there is only one extreme really, the far right. The far left is a really small part of our political landscape, and what medias are now calling the far left is actually just the left (even though French traditional left would be like far far left in America’s political landscape) which has united under one banner to try and stop far right from winning the elections (didn’t really worked out the way it was supposed to ngl) and if you wonder what exactly the far right propositions are, they’re basically blaming everything bad in the country on the government (on that part they’re not entirely wrong) and immigration, and they plan to "help" French people by closing the borders and lowering a bunch of taxes that will most likely only benefit the super profit and big companies, and the climate change is not one of their big priorities which I find concerning. Anyway sorry for being political, I’m not here to debate or whatever, just wanted to share a local perspective on the matter, great video as always !!
As a German myself, that was a really good quick summary of what is happening politically. To add a little bit of context, the eastern part of Germany highlighted in this video, is the old „DDR“, the former soviet controlled part after WW2 and it‘s own state until 1990 when Germany got reunified. Unfortunately we were not able to bring the standard of living and infrastructure up to par with the rest of the country and many people living in the eastern part feel disconnected from the rest of Germany and this is why extremist parties like the AfD are especially on the rise in these parts. But I can assure you, the rise of a right wing party in Germany, even scares most of us.
East Germany was Soviet-controlled until 1949 when it became its own state and an official country. And the whole thing with "East Germans are poor and dumb and therefore they vote the AfD“ is a common excuse for the rise of the party. Fact is that the AfD is the second strongest party in West Germany too. Giving the fact that West Germany has a large percentage of foreign born people, the numbers of ethnic Germans who vote for the AfD might not be that different between East And West. A third reason is that many people in East Germany also know the horrors of a far left and communist dictatorship which might also fuel a fear amongst the people.
Honestly, text generation LLMs could be trained to give NPCs in video games infinite dialogue generated from your behavior- if halucination can be solved and contextual memory becomes more efficient. Image generating llms could be used as a tool for custom backgrounds, skyboxes, terrain textures- procedurally generated worlds could become much more diverse using generated images with the right setup. Video generators *could* be used to generate cutscenes. But what interests me the most is artificial voice generation being used to make every NPC uniquely voice acted. AI *will* change gaming once AI engineers become cheap enough to consider working at game studios.
Atrioc is laughing at Mistral AI, but in the AI world they are the best independent company making a large language model. There shit is crazy, they trained a llama 3 like model for 1/10th of the cost.
I think the hypothesis that people are unhappy with the current state of things is reasonable 8:00. However, the lower salary and fewer millionaires maps for germany would look a lot less significant if you account for cost of living. I don't know if I can link but maps for searches like "cost of living germany" or "buying/purchasing power germany" overlap a lot with the salary/millionaire and AfD vote maps. Regarding the workload, I saw graphs where east germans where slightly less likely to be in unions, but I can't find any union percentage maps anymore, which is driving me insane. Again, this wouldnt necessarily disprove the point, but it could be an explanation, why the workload is higher at all. The graffiti map might be a good indicator with underfunded counties and unhappiness. Thanks for your videos
If other leaders actually addressed how big of an issue mass immigration is, she would lose much power. Same with other far right parties in Europe. People are voting for them for this single issue
@@Teddy_k847 According to polls immigration is the 8th most important issue for French people, and there are other parties that adress it, including Macron's.
@@Teddy_k847 Are we just doing non-sequiturs now? Immigration has been growing for decades, regardless of who was in power (including right wingers like Sarkozy who campaigned against it), and will likely continue to rise under RN, like it continued to rise in the US under Trump or in Italy under Meloni.
I can say that lot of people vote far right here not because of the immigration, but because of the age of people. The truth is this country is composed of a lot of old folks that don't want to change and will protect their assets to the very end. The young people doesn't vote because they don't believe in the politic system at all, they are under-represented each time. The real problem is a problem of trust between the population and its representation. ( politics made so much shit that especially during covid crisis that deep down everyone here hates them, outside of their orientation). France is becoming like Japan but without its few advantages of isolation.
Macron is not centrist, he is right wing, he just plays the part being centrist (this is the way he found to lurk indecisives people last time) Macron will not be reelected : constitutionally he can’t because he’s already in its second mandate.
He is centrist, he has some leftist ideas, and some rightist ideas. Also Macron can be reelected in the future, just not during the next election. The rule in France is no more than two mandates IN A ROW.
He is quite centrist socially, he's more liberal on the economic side of things. France has a LOT of social benefits that come at the cost of a difficult economy to maintain and international companies and investors being reluctant about France (this is why we don't have any big tech presence here) and that also puts pressure on salaries and employment. His philosophy is basically "we need to tone it down and be more realistic" but both left and right are for maintaining the social security net, they both blame its problems on either immigration or capital owners instead.
I really don't like the segment about the french parties. The NFP (the French left coalition) has set a plan to raise taxes and the one with the highest support from economists. But more importantly, the equivalence of the """far""" left coalition that contains a party that has regularly held in power and the far right that has said that the gaz chamber was a detail of history and wishes to put "delinquents" in concentration camps is absolutely baffling and should be considered journalistic malpractice. I don't know what sources you used but they seem highly dubious or/and dishonest.
i dont understand your grievence with that segment, he never advocated for the far right party, and whilst he didnt touch on the beliefs of the former party leader i dont see how it is relevent to what the segment was about? also he was convicted of contesting crimes against humanity 8 years ago. yes his daughter is now the leader which explains a good reason why she has been so disliked up untill now. but he has no reason to touch on that as it is irrelivent to the point of the segment. this isnt a history class its about current events.
One party want to share the wealth and tax rich people, the other one want to segregate non-white people and beat up homosexuals. They're clearly both extremes ! /s
The purpose of the segment for the most part was to highlight the rise in extremist politics, it did that. I dont think he tried to give a deep overview of what this means for France, who you should vote for, what scandals befall every side, what are their climate change policies, their immigration policies etc etc.
@@mightymcphee The issue with the segment is that it's presented from the point of view of Macron's center right party and recycles their talking points. It Strongly implies a false equivalency between the "far left" and the far right which has been renaissance's long standing electoral strategy against the left. Framing the nfp as "extreme left" is incredibly dishonest in the first place given that it's a wide coalition including France's most moderate left wing party. Finally, as mareaucanard explained, he asserts that both the left and right are promising spending with no tax raises which is just false, the left is very openly saying they will raise taxes.
@@simi752 its a generalization for foreigners to have a glimpse at the state of events around the world. he isnt a channel focused on in depth analysis of political parties around the world. the people who should know more about the subject (the locals) wouldnt and shouldnt use this as an informative source for their opinions. hell anyone who uses youtube vids as sources to base their opinions from are making a mistake. he paints with a wide brush so he can get the basics accross and move on. if you wish to understand the details the imperative is on you. he isnt acting as an authority on the subject yet you are picking his arguments apart as if he is. if ANYONE thinks this american streamer is an authority on french/ global politics they are crazy. if anything i think heis content promotes self research showing how accessible information is in this day and age.
Quality check from a French frog: 1) it is very unlikely that Macron will have the constitutional rights to run for 2027. He already did 2 mandates, which is the maximum in French politics, and many public law specialists think it improbable that he will be allowed for a third run. 2) The "far left" is very far from being extreme. It is a coalition of most left parties in France, and even the highest public institution (Conseil d'état) clarified that it could not be described as "extreme". They are mainly socialists (which is not extreme btw, looking at you US forgs) 3) The rise of the (truly) extreme far right has been very much fueled by Macron's party during their 2 mandates. They legitimized them by constantly referring to them as the main threat in France, putting the far right in the constant spotlights of media when there were other issues to solve. Macron's strategy has always been to "blockade" the RN, especially during his second re-election when he knew he was not super popular and got a lot of votes from that strategy. But obviously, the rise of extreme far right also represents a shift and a crisis of people wanting change and placing their hopes in a "last resort".

Quick feedback for the editor(s): I found the clap in the background track choice for the section talking about the EU parliament incredibly distracting. Something to keep in mind for the future, otherwise thank you for the video guys!

I'm French and I can tell you the reason why people are starting to vote far right. France has been dissolving into a cesspool with little cohesion thanks to 30 years of immigration and lackluster assimilation. Also these immigrants are very different than that of the US, they come for completely different reasons and they couldn't care less about France. If you go to the to the suburbs of Paris or even the north of Paris you will see what I'm talking about. Even people without French nationality can benefit from free health care and monthly paychecks which promotes further people who aren't ambitious but want an easy life to come to France. Ofc all of this comes at a cost, a massive cost, France has the highest taxe rate en the entirety of Europe and one of the highest rates in the world. But the 3 main points are insecurity, immigration, and economic policy. Meanwhile the far left wants to increase taxes for everyone above 30k salary, and try to hit the top 0.1 percent with as many sanctions as possible. Lower the retirement the age. Keep in mind in France it's residence based tax unlike the US so all the rich have to do is live somewhere else to not pay taxes. All these measures are not sustainable and will likely cause the debt to blow up even more.
We should really shut the fuck up about the "highest tax rate in Europe" because that's a fucking fallacy and a huge lie. And you really love to make generalities don't you ? I'm sure you know most of "the immigrants" personally to invent that kind of bullshit. I'm even sure you don't live, and have never lived where you say you're scared to live. Poor little xenophobic child.
Wanting a future for your kids, your nation and your country is not far right. The problem isn’t with immigration per se, but the sheer amount of unregulated people swarming into Europe without the willingness to assimilate or pick up the culture, and of course, lots of them without identification. The saddest part that they get more rights than the natives, and that is the problem.
@@lao-ce8982 "Culture" comes from biology, naturally no nation is going to retain their culture when they're replaced by other people. Only in the west has such a suicidal idea been able to spread, nobody else would fall for such nonsense.
i think its funny how you start talking about the french stock market and show an image of the stock market in frankfurt (Germany), truly an american moment 12:45
Center : Were going to do the same thing as we always do. Far Right : We will resolve all the problems without raising taxes. How? By raising taxes after we get elected because for some reason our plan didn't work. Far Left : We will resolve all the problems with raising taxes for the rich. But mostly will raise them for everyone and a little for the rich.
Atrioc is the type of guy to understand the consequences of capitalism on the working class but somehow refuse to accept any other system is better somehow. 10:49 saying that left wing parties aren't proposing tax raises is insane btw, obviously they want to raise them on the rich, and it'd be sufficient
sadly taxing the rich, is not a solution for a long term good economy, because we are still into an inflationnary system. The money will flow back to the rich again more faster, it's just a matter of time. The problem is more complex that just this. The working class accept too much of their condition too, people are are just so passive and accepting their shitty situation, I have seen this way too much time in my industry experience. French people respect the authority more than people think, the manifestations we see at Paris are a very very part of the population after all and it never takes form as strong practical action, it's just big fluff each time. What could be good is to let people build up a business very easily and not behind a mountain of administratives papers slow them down at each step.
@@corbeauwrite taxing the rich doesn't solve the problem because it's a bandaid solution to capitalism's inherent contradictions and the power the capital owning class has over our "democracies", not because we are in a system that incentivises inflation. People are passive because we have no class consciousness. Making people build businesses won't solve the problem either, capitalism is contradictory and unstable, that's why we have crisis every 15 years
He really does act like he’s a “know it all” but always fails to tell his audience the basic facts that don’t align with his political views. Ie ignoring immigration (main reason for election results in Europe), calling Macron centrist, and calling conservatives “far right.”
Atrioc really needs to stick to marketing on marketing mondays and not politics. Calling Macron "centrist" and Le Pen "far right" really discredits Atrioc when he's trying to give information and puts his blatant partisanship on full display. I understand that macron is positioned as a centrist candidate with parties to the left and to the right of him but he is definitely not a centrist. It only appears that way because the entire French political landscape is much further left than most countries. Macron claims to be a "centrist liberal" but his politics come closer to Bernie Sanders than actual center left parties like the Australian Labour Party. As for Le Pen, her only actual right wing policies are on immigration. Everything else she advocates is ironically pretty centrist.
Some frenchers in the comment said macron is center right. So it seems like even frenchers disagree. I don't think the label being wrong changes his overall point
@@testacalsOP is probably an american thinking with his american view point, and not realising that polical spectrum is a domestic thing, different from country to country.

A few corrections on France :
- A coalition was created between moderate and far left, so all results for the left are actually for the whole left
- The left coalition while supporting increased spending also support increasing taxes. Every other party says they're the most financially irresponsible but Macron lowered taxes without a plan for making up the difference and the far right has an extremely ambiguous position on everything which isn't immigration
- Macron isn't running for president in 2027 unless the constitution changes to allow him a third term
Edit to add info on the two round system :
The vote on Sunday was a qualification round. If no one gets a majority, the first two or three candidates can move on to the second round which will happen next Sunday
This is important because the parties from centre right to far left have instructed their nominees to step down if they came third in the race and if there is a risk of the far right winning the assembly seat. So although the far right came first in the first round there's a good chance they won't win enough seats to have a majority in the assembly
Far right having an extremely ambiguous position on literally everything except race supremacism is such a classic

Fun fact about Bardella the 28 y/o dude
He is extremely under qualified, dropped out of college and basically never worked in his life, however people found out he used to be a huge gamer and a call of duty youtuber, people found his old youtube channel and forums accounts, making him (if he’s actually elected) the first incel prime minister of the history of mankind

French politics kinda reminding me of canada right now liberals losing votes just lost toronto which is a massive loss for their party and are actively trying to say if you vote for conservatives you are ruining the country which is not how you gain supporters
Well it is always how they do things. For so long in france we have been voting "against" and not "for" a political party.
*while they themselves are ruining the country by every metrics that matters. Basically blaming conservatives for being negative and pointing out their bad ideas.
What annoys me the most is that Canadians are so thick that they continue the party duopoly. Like the conservatives have any real different economic policies that aren't just the liberals with more privatization and anti union positions.
The short term memory of Canaidians is upsetting.
@@SLDimarcothat’s why you vote PPC chief
@@osamabinliftin8632 great even more conservative, I won't even entertain that as a serious response.
A little insight that is not well known at all: the French president does not have to nominate the prime minister from the majority. The president can nominate anyone, it's described extremely briefly in the constitution. It's just been a tradition that presidents have been following so far but they don't have to. To be honest, I'm not sure what he's gonna do. I'm not convinced he knows either.
One other thing, the president cannot run a 3rd time so for 2027, he's gone unless he manages to change it back.
Also « french far right » is equivalent to a center or even leftist party if placed in American political landscape.
@@TheSkulldraw🧢
@@TheSkulldraw That's pretty accurate, in fact by American standards, I would consider Macron to be leaning further on the right than Le Pen. Macron advocates for the free market. The French far right first focus is identity politics and then socialism. Also they want to push immigrants out of social benefits programs, which is Macron's wet dream for the entire population. They only get labeled as far right because of the identity politics focus. In my opinion these labels are all dumb.
@@TheSkulldraw No. There's literally nothing leftist about RN aside from their paying lip service to purchasing power (which everyone does, including republicans in the US). They're firmly right wing in pretty much any western context.
As a french dude living in France, I can comfirm that it is great resume of our conflit.
Just so everyone knows a bit more information, the Centric party (Not so centric) Macron, has spent 7 years mocking the french by basically saying "I know what is best for you, you don't". This is what brought the RN (Extrem right party) to get chance to power. But after this sudden vote, the left side united (with some problems of course but mainly positivily) and they came to an agreement to unit under "Le Nouveau Front Populaire". The issue on the left is that not all left voters want the left because it reunits ALL the left (extrem to centric).
The RNs goal is to reduce immigration since, and I quote "All our problems comes from immigration" . The NFP is to make the working class get payed more "get the minimum wage at 1600" and have a better definition in terms of taxe rates.
In any case great resume, and I never gonna be able to look at Bardella without picturing Gruu now xD.
on est dans la merde :xD
Thank you for the insight!
Fellow French dude here. I'd like to elaborate about the analogy at 10:53 which I think could help better explain how Macron in particular got so unpopular: While the analogy kinda holds for some previous presidencies, Macron's would get as ridiculous as "Imma quit my job and give the baker my 401k so he can chose (or not but shhhhh) to expand and output more baguettes". Needless to say, the bigger players (for the most significant part) opted to just grab the money and call it a day.
The RN sounds based glad people are starting to wake up

Man is going to golf after recording that offline ad read
The issue with “I’m tired of the boring way so I’m gonna try the radical way” is that, if the radical way is even worse, there’s a strong chance you won’t be able to just “try” the boring way again. That’s the thing about radicalism
The point wasn't that they're "tired of the boring way," it's that the "boring way" has not improved their lives at all while being promised it will so now they'll try something else
Radicalisation is always a gamble, Argentina for example was on the utter ruin so they chose Milei because he had a chance of solving sh!t (His opponent Massa didn't, he was basically running the country and the country was on shambles because of him), and if he failed it would have been the same as Massa winning and turning argentina into the new venezuela just a little earlier.
Countries like Spain, US, France, Canada are not in the "utter sh!t" like argentina, they are slowly falling into sh!t.
What's true is that Milei's influence flipped the whole political scale from a global viewpoint (much, much more than trump or biden would ever do).
Times are indeed changing and it won't be long for a new political party of libertarians to start surging (Milei is assosiated with the right because he hates the left, but it's something like a "WW2 US-USSR" relationship against germany, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend", the difference is that certain policies of the right are contrarian to Milei's ideology of liberty, but for now it's the current situation).
The Left has no clear leader figure, apart from concepts like "World Leaders" or "2030 Agenda" (like for example Marx was for the Communism).
In this case The conservatives have Trump.
Libertarians have Milei.
The... Autoritarians I guess have Bukele (ironically is the direct opposite of Milei on a political scale and they get along pretty well respecting each country's management).
Not gonna happen, at worst the opposition will do the only thing they know "to oppose", and nothing will happen.
You always assume things will go like in Germany as soon as something a bit more conservative gets the power, but that's just not true lol.
@@solidtoto Exactly, our political systems (especially in the US) are too dynamic for these kind of things to just get taken over like that.

The biggest takeaway I’ve had about AI is that it’s not going to replace service. It also shouldn’t, because the margin of money saved is so little compared to replacing higher ups in a company.
It’s also not going to replace them, because those higher ups are going to use the marketing promise of AI to crab-bucket, cutting out all their underlings for “better” AI labor in an ultimate race for the bottom when their jobs are the lowest on the totem pole.

Immigration over the past decade has become so out of control in European countries, that a lot of these right winged politicians are opposed to and I believe that's also where a lot of the public sway towards the right comes from.
This week’s marketing Monday was actually really good.
It's back boys!!!
Absolutely love rocket money. A few months ago i was struggling to afford things like rent and food and rocket money helped me figure out what little things i was buying on routine and helped me manage my margins to a point where i now don't really have to worry about it as much
Leaving immigration control out of the equation in european politics is both stupid and cowardly. If you want to be credible talking about international news/trends you wont cut it by avoiding issues that goes against your narrative and/or sidestepjng politically charged issues.
Yes… insane that he completely ignores by far the biggest reason people are voting right
He probably just thinks it's just some random right-wing talking point like in the US, instead of the single most important issue voters care about.
Yes and no, the main issues that people in France care about according to polls are delinquency (38%) and purchasing power (34%), which is what a lot of the campaigning by RN has leaned on for the past couple of years. Following those are environmental issues (29%), social inequality (26%), the economy (26%), health care (25%), geopolitics (23%) and *then* immigration (22%). That's the "no" part.
The "yes" part is that RN (and to some extent Macron himself) have linked a lot of those issues to immigration and spooky leftists.
Honestly if you really want to get into *why* people are voting the way they are, it takes a lot more than just throwing out "they want stricter immigration control". It's part of the equation for sure, but it's not the whole picture at all. The internal failings of the French left, distrust towards the EU, poor handling of security issues by the state (police got defunded under the previous Sarkozy right wing government after he campaigned on security issues), Macron's sabotaging of traditional left and right parties, the evolution of private French media towards conservatism and a RN that's a lot less overtly racist than they used to be are also key factors
@@badaboum2 who do you think the delinquents are?
@@Teddy_k847 Delinquants. If everyone agreed with you (and RN) that delinquency was directly linked to immigration, immigration would be seen as as big an issue as delinquency, but it isn't.
Who's in charge of the background music? Escapists soundtrack, BattleBlock Theatre soundtrack, these sounds are legendary picks. 🔥
As a French there’s a couple of things I’d like to say/clarify about our situation, first macron is not really centrist but way more on the right/liberal end of our political spectrum, also big A talks about the "extremes" at the gate of power when there is only one extreme really, the far right. The far left is a really small part of our political landscape, and what medias are now calling the far left is actually just the left (even though French traditional left would be like far far left in America’s political landscape) which has united under one banner to try and stop far right from winning the elections (didn’t really worked out the way it was supposed to ngl) and if you wonder what exactly the far right propositions are, they’re basically blaming everything bad in the country on the government (on that part they’re not entirely wrong) and immigration, and they plan to "help" French people by closing the borders and lowering a bunch of taxes that will most likely only benefit the super profit and big companies, and the climate change is not one of their big priorities which I find concerning.
Anyway sorry for being political, I’m not here to debate or whatever, just wanted to share a local perspective on the matter, great video as always !!
Yeah I was thinking the same thing the whole time, we have 2 right wings and a moderate left not center and extremes

That was a smart ad transition. tip of the cap to you sir.
As a German myself, that was a really good quick summary of what is happening politically. To add a little bit of context, the eastern part of Germany highlighted in this video, is the old „DDR“, the former soviet controlled part after WW2 and it‘s own state until 1990 when Germany got reunified. Unfortunately we were not able to bring the standard of living and infrastructure up to par with the rest of the country and many people living in the eastern part feel disconnected from the rest of Germany and this is why extremist parties like the AfD are especially on the rise in these parts. But I can assure you, the rise of a right wing party in Germany, even scares most of us.
East Germany was Soviet-controlled until 1949 when it became its own state and an official country.
And the whole thing with "East Germans are poor and dumb and therefore they vote the AfD“ is a common excuse for the rise of the party. Fact is that the AfD is the second strongest party in West Germany too. Giving the fact that West Germany has a large percentage of foreign born people, the numbers of ethnic Germans who vote for the AfD might not be that different between East And West. A third reason is that many people in East Germany also know the horrors of a far left and communist dictatorship which might also fuel a fear amongst the people.
And no, it scares nobody who is actually able to read an election program…
Honestly, text generation LLMs could be trained to give NPCs in video games infinite dialogue generated from your behavior- if halucination can be solved and contextual memory becomes more efficient. Image generating llms could be used as a tool for custom backgrounds, skyboxes, terrain textures- procedurally generated worlds could become much more diverse using generated images with the right setup. Video generators *could* be used to generate cutscenes. But what interests me the most is artificial voice generation being used to make every NPC uniquely voice acted.
AI *will* change gaming once AI engineers become cheap enough to consider working at game studios.

5:47 not the biggest Fan of macron in general but that is the rawest thing I have heard in my life!
I didn’t see that previous upload :) it didn’t happen :)
I think the hypothesis that people are unhappy with the current state of things is reasonable 8:00. However, the lower salary and fewer millionaires maps for germany would look a lot less significant if you account for cost of living. I don't know if I can link but maps for searches like "cost of living germany" or "buying/purchasing power germany" overlap a lot with the salary/millionaire and AfD vote maps.
Regarding the workload, I saw graphs where east germans where slightly less likely to be in unions, but I can't find any union percentage maps anymore, which is driving me insane. Again, this wouldnt necessarily disprove the point, but it could be an explanation, why the workload is higher at all. The graffiti map might be a good indicator with underfunded counties and unhappiness.

@@Teddy_k847 According to polls immigration is the 8th most important issue for French people, and there are other parties that adress it, including Macron's.
@@badaboum2 Macron has been in power while this issue has only continued to worse.
@@Teddy_k847 Are we just doing non-sequiturs now? Immigration has been growing for decades, regardless of who was in power (including right wingers like Sarkozy who campaigned against it), and will likely continue to rise under RN, like it continued to rise in the US under Trump or in Italy under Meloni.
I can say that lot of people vote far right here not because of the immigration, but because of the age of people. The truth is this country is composed of a lot of old folks that don't want to change and will protect their assets to the very end. The young people doesn't vote because they don't believe in the politic system at all, they are under-represented each time. The real problem is a problem of trust between the population and its representation. ( politics made so much shit that especially during covid crisis that deep down everyone here hates them, outside of their orientation). France is becoming like Japan but without its few advantages of isolation.

Aw, i missed reading a paragraph for 15 minutes
He really showed the stock exchange from Frankfurt when talking about France's stock market, very nice.
Macron is not centrist, he is right wing, he just plays the part being centrist (this is the way he found to lurk indecisives people last time)
Macron will not be reelected : constitutionally he can’t because he’s already in its second mandate.
He is centrist, he has some leftist ideas, and some rightist ideas. Also Macron can be reelected in the future, just not during the next election. The rule in France is no more than two mandates IN A ROW.
Nah he is definitely center right in
He is quite centrist socially, he's more liberal on the economic side of things. France has a LOT of social benefits that come at the cost of a difficult economy to maintain and international companies and investors being reluctant about France (this is why we don't have any big tech presence here) and that also puts pressure on salaries and employment.
His philosophy is basically "we need to tone it down and be more realistic" but both left and right are for maintaining the social security net, they both blame its problems on either immigration or capital owners instead.
Thumbnails been nice lately
I really don't like the segment about the french parties. The NFP (the French left coalition) has set a plan to raise taxes and the one with the highest support from economists. But more importantly, the equivalence of the """far""" left coalition that contains a party that has regularly held in power and the far right that has said that the gaz chamber was a detail of history and wishes to put "delinquents" in concentration camps is absolutely baffling and should be considered journalistic malpractice. I don't know what sources you used but they seem highly dubious or/and dishonest.
i dont understand your grievence with that segment, he never advocated for the far right party, and whilst he didnt touch on the beliefs of the former party leader i dont see how it is relevent to what the segment was about? also he was convicted of contesting crimes against humanity 8 years ago. yes his daughter is now the leader which explains a good reason why she has been so disliked up untill now. but he has no reason to touch on that as it is irrelivent to the point of the segment. this isnt a history class its about current events.
One party want to share the wealth and tax rich people, the other one want to segregate non-white people and beat up homosexuals. They're clearly both extremes ! /s
The purpose of the segment for the most part was to highlight the rise in extremist politics, it did that. I dont think he tried to give a deep overview of what this means for France, who you should vote for, what scandals befall every side, what are their climate change policies, their immigration policies etc etc.
@@mightymcphee The issue with the segment is that it's presented from the point of view of Macron's center right party and recycles their talking points. It Strongly implies a false equivalency between the "far left" and the far right which has been renaissance's long standing electoral strategy against the left. Framing the nfp as "extreme left" is incredibly dishonest in the first place given that it's a wide coalition including France's most moderate left wing party. Finally, as mareaucanard explained, he asserts that both the left and right are promising spending with no tax raises which is just false, the left is very openly saying they will raise taxes.
@@simi752 its a generalization for foreigners to have a glimpse at the state of events around the world. he isnt a channel focused on in depth analysis of political parties around the world. the people who should know more about the subject (the locals) wouldnt and shouldnt use this as an informative source for their opinions. hell anyone who uses youtube vids as sources to base their opinions from are making a mistake. he paints with a wide brush so he can get the basics accross and move on. if you wish to understand the details the imperative is on you. he isnt acting as an authority on the subject yet you are picking his arguments apart as if he is. if ANYONE thinks this american streamer is an authority on french/ global politics they are crazy. if anything i think heis content promotes self research showing how accessible information is in this day and age.
If you asked 1000 French if they think athletes will be able to swim in the Seine, you'd have a thousand no
Quality check from a French frog:
1) it is very unlikely that Macron will have the constitutional rights to run for 2027. He already did 2 mandates, which is the maximum in French politics, and many public law specialists think it improbable that he will be allowed for a third run.
2) The "far left" is very far from being extreme. It is a coalition of most left parties in France, and even the highest public institution (Conseil d'état) clarified that it could not be described as "extreme". They are mainly socialists (which is not extreme btw, looking at you US forgs)
3) The rise of the (truly) extreme far right has been very much fueled by Macron's party during their 2 mandates. They legitimized them by constantly referring to them as the main threat in France, putting the far right in the constant spotlights of media when there were other issues to solve. Macron's strategy has always been to "blockade" the RN, especially during his second re-election when he knew he was not super popular and got a lot of votes from that strategy.
But obviously, the rise of extreme far right also represents a shift and a crisis of people wanting change and placing their hopes in a "last resort".

"Far right" just means anyone conservative at this point
4:00 As a French, I feel like there's some context you guys are missing : For years a lot of people have been saying that Macron wishes he was Napoléon, due to his economically centrist (for the country) but otherwise very authoritarian policies, and his incredibly large ego.

WAIT HOLY SHIT, I've been watching you for like a year now and I never realized that was you on the Nvidia commercial. I saw that commercial but had just put that down the brain drain with the rest of the commercials cause I don't have money to buy shit, and I'm not about to go get a credit card to spend money I don't have on dumb shit.
I'm French and I can tell you the reason why people are starting to vote far right. France has been dissolving into a cesspool with little cohesion thanks to 30 years of immigration and lackluster assimilation. Also these immigrants are very different than that of the US, they come for completely different reasons and they couldn't care less about France. If you go to the to the suburbs of Paris or even the north of Paris you will see what I'm talking about. Even people without French nationality can benefit from free health care and monthly paychecks which promotes further people who aren't ambitious but want an easy life to come to France. Ofc all of this comes at a cost, a massive cost, France has the highest taxe rate en the entirety of Europe and one of the highest rates in the world.
But the 3 main points are insecurity, immigration, and economic policy.
Meanwhile the far left wants to increase taxes for everyone above 30k salary, and try to hit the top 0.1 percent with as many sanctions as possible. Lower the retirement the age. Keep in mind in France it's residence based tax unlike the US so all the rich have to do is live somewhere else to not pay taxes. All these measures are not sustainable and will likely cause the debt to blow up even more.
We should really shut the fuck up about the "highest tax rate in Europe" because that's a fucking fallacy and a huge lie.
And you really love to make generalities don't you ? I'm sure you know most of "the immigrants" personally to invent that kind of bullshit. I'm even sure you don't live, and have never lived where you say you're scared to live. Poor little xenophobic child.
Wanting a future for your kids, your nation and your country is not far right.
The problem isn’t with immigration per se, but the sheer amount of unregulated people swarming into Europe without the willingness to assimilate or pick up the culture, and of course, lots of them without identification. The saddest part that they get more rights than the natives, and that is the problem.
@@lao-ce8982 "Culture" comes from biology, naturally no nation is going to retain their culture when they're replaced by other people. Only in the west has such a suicidal idea been able to spread, nobody else would fall for such nonsense.
i think its funny how you start talking about the french stock market and show an image of the stock market in frankfurt (Germany), truly an american moment 12:45
Center : Were going to do the same thing as we always do.
Far Right : We will resolve all the problems without raising taxes. How? By raising taxes after we get elected because for some reason our plan didn't work.
Far Left : We will resolve all the problems with raising taxes for the rich. But mostly will raise them for everyone and a little for the rich.
Great work team, this has been a, stimulating, confrontation. :)
Atrioc is the type of guy to understand the consequences of capitalism on the working class but somehow refuse to accept any other system is better somehow. 10:49 saying that left wing parties aren't proposing tax raises is insane btw, obviously they want to raise them on the rich, and it'd be sufficient
sadly taxing the rich, is not a solution for a long term good economy, because we are still into an inflationnary system. The money will flow back to the rich again more faster, it's just a matter of time. The problem is more complex that just this. The working class accept too much of their condition too, people are are just so passive and accepting their shitty situation, I have seen this way too much time in my industry experience. French people respect the authority more than people think, the manifestations we see at Paris are a very very part of the population after all and it never takes form as strong practical action, it's just big fluff each time. What could be good is to let people build up a business very easily and not behind a mountain of administratives papers slow them down at each step.
Works for germany@@corbeauwrite
@@corbeauwrite taxing the rich doesn't solve the problem because it's a bandaid solution to capitalism's inherent contradictions and the power the capital owning class has over our "democracies", not because we are in a system that incentivises inflation. People are passive because we have no class consciousness. Making people build businesses won't solve the problem either, capitalism is contradictory and unstable, that's why we have crisis every 15 years
Below the replacement rate letssssd goooo
"far right" means literally just the conservative party
"are olympians going to swim in poopwater?"
always have been.
He really does act like he’s a “know it all” but always fails to tell his audience the basic facts that don’t align with his political views. Ie ignoring immigration (main reason for election results in Europe), calling Macron centrist, and calling conservatives “far right.”
Could you explain more with some examples/details? I'm confused about how immigration is causing such a large shift.
What did he say that was actually wrong? Sounds like you just disagree
Le Pen and AfD are far right lmao
Dang the sponser transition was clean
By far right most people just mean conservatives
Such a great video big a, totally not a reupload😂😂
Atrioc really needs to stick to marketing on marketing mondays and not politics. Calling Macron "centrist" and Le Pen "far right" really discredits Atrioc when he's trying to give information and puts his blatant partisanship on full display. I understand that macron is positioned as a centrist candidate with parties to the left and to the right of him but he is definitely not a centrist. It only appears that way because the entire French political landscape is much further left than most countries. Macron claims to be a "centrist liberal" but his politics come closer to Bernie Sanders than actual center left parties like the Australian Labour Party. As for Le Pen, her only actual right wing policies are on immigration. Everything else she advocates is ironically pretty centrist.
Some frenchers in the comment said macron is center right. So it seems like even frenchers disagree. I don't think the label being wrong changes his overall point
@@testacalsOP is probably an american thinking with his american view point, and not realising that polical spectrum is a domestic thing, different from country to country.
I mean, from a French viewpoint, all of the US politicians are right to far-right wing. Even Bernie Sanders wouldn't be label as left here.
other people are mad at him calling macron a centrist and saying hes right wing and are mad he called the far left party extreme
macron is centrist
politics are not just economics youll find hitler wasnt economically right wing in free markets but he was clearly a far right facist the national rally is far right in their social views they dont like gays or abortions believe in the great replacement so on
