  • Maybe before calling people stupid get out of your confortable bubble and meet them where they are at:

    • According to the red cross, 11 million french people can’t feed themselves properly and are skipping meals.

    • The number of uni students relying on food banks to feed themselves is close to a majority

    • Unemployment among the youth is at records high, never have the youth been disenfranchised about their future

    • This year is the second year in a series where purchasing power keeps shrinking, and the government can’t subsidize salaries anymore

    • Because of the war in Ukraine, french defense spending is exploding and is expected to be double of that before the war, eating away from the budget that could otherwise be oriented to lifting salaries and improving social services

    • Tomorrow 17 Oct is the expected return of the Jillets Jaunes. Big Protests all over the country, with people of all walks of life to protest against the cost of living.

    The list is way bigger and I know that most of your entitled opinions don’t care about the realities of other people’s lives. but your indignation won’t change the realities of people’s lives and them putting their interests first.


  • According to a feb 2026 survery only 47% of French people agree to continuing military support for Ukraine.

    And according to the recent presidential elections polls, the parties that advocate for a prompt end of the war and cutting military support to Ukraine account for 55% of the total intentions of the vote.

    • Marine le Pen : 34%

    • Melenchon: 15%

    • Fabien Roussel: 2.4%

    • Nicolas Dupont Aingan: 2.3%

    In short you must brace for the reality that sentiment towards continual military support is turning against Ukraine, and in times of financial hardships people tends to favor their immediate interests rather than a hypothetical future threat.
