  1. Maybe everyone should bang their high school teacher and marry her, for peace.

  3. Hmm….possibly.

    But if it’s anything like French history, it’s the elites and the establishment that’s going to get the beat down from a populace that has gotten ignored for far too long. Then, eventually, the centrists have to pick one side or the other.

  5. Macron’s warning about a potential ‘civil war’ scenario is alarming. It underscores the deep political divisions in France and the growing influence of extreme ideologies. The outcome of the elections could have profound implications not just for France, but for the entire European Union. Let’s hope for a peaceful and democratic process.

  6. Do you hear the people sing? Singing the song of angry men?

  8. It’s right or left, not far right or far left, like there’s 4+ parties. Melodramatic much?

  9. Wait if there is a civil war in France then who wins? Wouldn’t both sides race to surrender before the other had the chance to??

  10. Be Macron

    Play divide and conquer to split the center left and center right parties, destroying them.

    Complain about the far left and far right being the only other parties.

  12. France, USA, Brazil, South Africa…. Everyone’s political systems are showing symptoms of a larger problem, and the threat of civil war is not the problem. It’s the disparity of wealth and the corruption of a system that favors the wealthy when those who vote for change and upwards mobility continue to see no hope for change. Their leanings get more desperate that something can go in their favor because it never does. Too much greed and grift in the current systems. It’s a global crisis, and you can add most countries to the list I cited.

  14. The NFP is left, not far left. It’s an alliance that encompasses a lot of parties from the far left to the centre left, and even if it wins it will be barely, so it is going to need the votes from all its deputies, including the most center ones. 

    And I mean, it litteraly has Hollande, the president that picked Macron to be his minister of economics in the first place, as a candidate. If that’s a far left party, Macron should has well rename himself Staline.

  15. French here. It’s not “far left” at all. Macron and his clique have dubbed the entirety of the left as “far left” to make it look his party is the only moderate and reasonable one. In the meantime, Macron has used a LOT of far right rethoric.

    The united left (Nouveau Front Populaire) has presented a leftist program (shocking, eh?) intended to redistribute wealth in a less rich-centric manner. This has big corps and fortunes shaking in their boots and Macron is their president first and foremost (billionaires doubled their wealth while public services are in tatters). By presenting the left as a bigger threat than actual nazis (no exageration here), he wants to diminish their power, even if the far right wins the elections, since they’re more ligned with his economical views.

  16. Well the current French government is the 5th attempt and has only been around since 1958.

  17. Far Right – White Supremicists, Hate mongers, Religious Extremists.

      Far Left – People who want to have good services and access to Healthcare, deal.eoth climate change.

      Be a real shame if the left won and actually built a country to be proud of.

  19. The problem here is that the french revolution saw the rise of the capitalists to power.

    Lets pretend the people tosses the rich. Are kings and nobles making a comeback?

    People bitch about fascism, I know I do, but there is no plan for the day after.

    The guys in power DO have plans, that’s why most revolutions look like a change of people but not of core dynamics.

  20. I expected this title to read “French President Emmanuel Macron warns of ‘civil war’ if citizens keep pooping in the Seine”. Hosting Olympic Games IN the Seine after 100 years of banning any form of swimming in it is all I can think about.

  21. Spoken like a true neoliberal moderate who prioritizes stability and corporate profits over all else.

  23. Didn’t he lose? Why is he threatening and spreading fear?

  26. Hum where have i heard this script before?

    A lot of places, that’s why it’s hard to remember.

  28. He should have sent the army into Ukraine. That would have united everyone against the Russians, and made him a war hero.

  29. As another user stated, there is no *far left*. June 13th the *Conseil d’Etat* (one of the supreme administrative courts) has reminded that there was not any political party involved into the NFP that could be designed as “far left”.

    They’ve confirmed the same day that the RN was indeed far right.

    [Le Rassemblement national est bien d’extrême droite, confirme le Conseil d’État… Sur demande du RN (huffingtonpost.fr)](https://www.huffingtonpost.fr/politique/article/le-rassemblement-national-est-bien-d-extreme-droite-confirme-le-conseil-d-etat-sur-demande-du-rn_223428.html)

    Macron is just moving the goalposts to the right which makes regular left look like extreme left.

    The extreme right party has dozens of potential candidates which has been condemned by courts for antisemitism, hate speech, or violent actions.

    *Note* : And if you say the *Conseil d’Etat* is biased, prove how their *reasoning* is biased or take your accusations, wrap them in a tiny little ball of paper and saliva, and shove them up your ass.

  30. Rare moment on reddit or anywhere that you see the term “far left” outside Maga circles. lol

    by the way the hive mind gaslights everything, it seemed anything to the right of cosmic far-left was considered far-right.

  31. I’m happy to see a bit of civil war in France, better than what they’ve brought unto other countries..

  32. This raises important concerns about polarization in France. Finding common ground is crucial.

  34. Isn’t this the exact same shit Trump was saying would happen if he lost?

  35. He is responsible for this mess. Horrible President.
