To be honest, it is the same here. The old scholars are mostly for show (and weird ass polemics).

We should have elected this guy.

Exactement. With the clavier.

Fuck l’Académie Française as well.

Missed that one, good catch!

With even more Scientology I’m sure, somehow.

Couldn’t agree more.

Weapons grade.

Because we only have a relative majority and now Macron is teaming up with the hard right (not the far right, the other right right that is not center right… Yeah, too much right is wrong) to deprive us of any path to government. Shit sucks. But it could have sucked way harder.

We’re trying real hard not to let them do this shit again. But god is it tiring…

Gagagoogoo Gagaga

Pretty sure the OP was a troll, actually.

Anyhow, if you want specifics, we currently have 90 far right MPs in Congress and even our “centrist” government and the “classic right” seem to have decided muslims are to blame for everything. This includes and is not limited to :

• banning “muslim adjacent” wear like abbayas from schools ;
• a broad offensive to remove pork free meals from school lunches in some cities ;
• à brutal crackdown on any pro Palestinian action, including summons from anti terrorism units that have targeted union leaders, students and leftwing MPs ;
• targeting of muslim private schools for closure whereas radical catholic schools are absolutely fine even when they teach gay people are all rapists (see Lycée Stanislas for a very striking example) ;
• repeated incidents of police disproportionately targeting muslims ;
• a general attitude of paranoia regarding anything muslim : last year our Home Office equivalent actually asked primary schools to provide a list of pupils that missed class because of specifically muslim religious holidays.

I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of things. But also, I can see everyday around me how hard muslim people, but also any arab looking person, have it in the public eye. The far right is on the rise politically but also socially. Anything that “does not belong”, be it LGBTQ, non white people, etc is increasingly targeted by pressure groups of "concerned citizens ", “protector of the peace,”, “defender of children” and so on. It worries me. A lot.

Because Muslims are increasingly marginalised, disenfranchised and used as a scapegoat for everything that goes bad?

So much this. Our rightwing is hellbent on importing every single moral panic from the US to detract from their blunders and authoritarianism.

Yeah you’re right, as long as they only victimise and kill their own people it’s JUST FINE.

God, the shit people write sometimes…

The issue was opened 14 days ago on github Here.

This. It has been broken without this option for a couple weeks now.

Here (France) we still mostly grade by hand.

I had a student write me a chatgpt canned answer, prompt included.

Communism is a political philosophy which in and of itself does not advocate for oppression. There is indeed nothing wrong with it, at least if you advocate for freedom of thought.

The Stalinist version of authoritarianism has been conflated with communism by american (mostly) media during the cold war. It is however a very specific ideology.

Apologists for authoritarian regimes, whatever their political leaning, deserve no platform or tolerance. Plurality of thought however is needed and essential.
