The New York Times is a Potemkin news source. It looks like a legitimate source of information, but isn't. Article presented for entertainment purposes only.

Attention NY Times: Populist nationalists are not far right.

Most young people in France usually don’t vote or they back the left. That is still true, but support has surged for the far right, whose openly racist past can feel to them like ancient history.

The Times is projecting again.

‘Far right’ = normal people.

[mkmensinger]

Notice how it’s just “the left” but it’s ALWAYS the “far right”.

[MinorityRepublican]

‘Far right’ = normal people.

Which is why they want to ban Tik-Tok.

People have caught on to the propaganda by the liberal media.

It reminds them too much of their defeat at the Battle of Tours.

‘Far right’ = normal people.

And notice there is never any mention of “far left”?

The young are voting for the populist right in France for the same reason as in other countries: continued globalism means they have no future in the country of their birth.

The cost of housing has skyrocketed, there are no decent paying jobs or careers open to them and regulatory strangulation and taxes make opening your own business a nightmare. Plus the government is more or less openly seeking to replace its native population with docile immigrants who will work for less and reliably support the uniparty regime.

That's more and more the case across Europe and the US.

Increasing numbers of young Native French are seeing how things are going, and are NOT enthused about being in an Islamic society in 20 years, and recognize that only the “far right” has any interest in the welfare and future of the Native French.

[Salman]

Maybe they want being French to continue to be a thing?

[Beowulf9]

SACREBLEU!

[Lizavetta]

And Charles Martel stirs in his grave, marveling that at least the young Frenchies may actually be acquainting themselves with the fighting spirit they once had.

“Far right,” now includes socialists.

[nickcarraway]

Le Pen seems pretty far left to me. She’s never met a socialism she didn’t love.
