Also true peer to peer social networks that don’t even need the internet to run. Each phone can become a node wirelessly communicating with nearby nodes. It would have to be implemented well to handle the volume of people who could be in range during protests, but people with physical access to each other shouldn’t need social media websites to communicate.
It’s just a matter of whether that infrastructure needs to be created, disseminated, or enabled. I’m guessing France would probably need step 2 since this kind of thing has likely already been written after similar tactics were used in other areas, like Hong Kong.
I expect the far right will take over by the next election or the one after.
The left is so out of touch that they will not win, they gave their voters to the far right…
Now days, people are not ashamed to tell you they are racist. RN and other far-right views are considered normal, and presented as such in most media. The left needs to fight on so many fronts, not only gaining back voters and militants, internal pressure, but also fight against an unfair media balance/coverage.
I am still highly skeptical that the left will make it (Ruffin or any other). Time will tell us. Even if we get a president from he left in 2027, we all know what happened last time we had a “socialist” president.
And what do you mean with the last time we had a socialist president? I mean it might have been underwhelming(?) but all the scare about it went nil. So seriously interested in why you seems to think it will be better with someone from the right (who?) or the extreme right. Or you think the (IMO stupid) two turns election will be the burrow of all the small leftwing parties?
Sorry if I come off as offensive, I’m high on Côtes de Rhône (villages) and I’m off on holidays tomorrow :-)
Oh, no. I never implied it would be better if the next president is from the right. I just meant Holland was from the socialist party, but as you said his term as president was underwhelming. If the next president is from the left, I hope he/she makes a real effort to help this country and it’s people (education, public services, ecology and tax the rich !).

Damn… flashback to Belarus 2020
Oh! We`re going the third world warlord route here I see!

Isn’t Element (Matrix) something like that?
Matrix uses federated servers
Yeah authoritarianism is the answer, surely this will make them stop.
Jesus the whole west going to shit it seems except like Norway.
Might be a bad idea to mention “cutting off” anything to rioting French
Huge gap in the market for guillotines rn if you ask me.

Another example of the capitalism -> fascism pipeline
By the end of Macron’s term, the fascists of RN will be ready to take over. France is in a very dangerous situation.

Okay, maybe, but just maybe François Ruffin will get an ok party running. I mean one can dream, right?

Let someone dream ;-)

Ha ha I thought about Mitterrand ! Holland was like neither left nor right, just from the socialist party IMO.
Genius idea. Give people more reason to be outside.
The intent is to make it harder for people to organize effectively in real time, not worry about people getting off the couch.
He doesn’t think people will be able to find the protest sites without Facebook 😂
Sounds very not totalitarian
Oh? Whatever happened to freedom of speech and “protecting it at any cost”? What a bunch of fucking hypocrites.
Hey they never promised liberty. Just liberté, whatever that is.
Freedom when it suits them.
