Appât facile pour Lemmy !

Plus sérieusement, je trouve l'idée intéressante de dire que LFI n'est pas d'extrême gauche quand on compare au NPA ou au programme de Mitterrand. Mais j'ai l'impression qu'on peut appliquer le même raisonnement pour dire que le RN n'est pas aussi extrême que son origine, je ne suis pas convaincu par les arguments de l'article.

Selon la définition de Jean-Etienne Dubois, dans son ouvrage l’Extrême droite française, les partis d'« extrême droite » sont « les organisations qui contestent le système politique républicain et démocratique (anti-électoralisme, antiparlementarisme, aspirations autoritaires, etc.) et/ou le caractère universel des valeurs républicaines de liberté et d’égalité (antisémitisme, racisme, xénophobie, etc.) ».

Qu'est-ce qui dans les programmes du RN de ces dernières années match avec cette définition de l'extrême droite ?

Ainsi, « l’origine [du Front national, devenu Rassemblement national], son noyau de militants et les références idéologiques diverses qui s’y côtoient inscrivent indubitablement l’histoire de ce parti dans la filiation de l’extrême droite française ».

Il y a des origines puantes dans à peu près tous les partis (ex : Mitterrand et Vichy, communistes et Staline, les partis gaulliste et la décolonisation, etc.), est-ce qu'on peut essentialiser un groupe politique à son origine pour toujours ?

Est-ce que les nouveaux votants que le RN a gagnés aux élections de ces dernières années sont des racistes anti-démocrates ? Ou est-ce qu'ils sont simplement séduits par le savant mélange de populisme de droite (anti-immigration) et de gauche (anti-élite) que le RN cuisine depuis le début de son entreprise de dédiabolisation ?

Jlecteurs très à gauche, merci d'essayer d'avoir une discussion rationnelle. Je suis là pour essayer d'analyser la situation avec tout le monde.

Édith : Merci pour les réponses détaillées, je prendrai le temps de répondre.

I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers, and possible beliefs, and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything. There are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask "Why are we here?" I might think about it a little bit, and if I can't figure it out then I go on to something else. But I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in the mysterious universe without having any purpose - which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell.

They contain a sweet honey that you can taste by sucking the bottom, a friend made me taste. I just did some research about it for this post. It appears some are actually toxic, and it's very hard to tell the difference.

An illustration of the "ultra free" market in Japan, is the insane amount of ways to pay at the cashier. It seems every financial group thought they could do better than the other, and for some reason I don't understand, they didn't eat each other, they just coexist.

The main categories are: bank card, payment apps connected to bank account, transportation cards, electronic money. They may work through card reader, no-contact, bar code scan or QR code scan. For the last two, you are either scanned or you have to scan them.

Also, Japan loves "points". If you know the cashback system, where you get something like 1% of your bill back, in Japan they usually get points back, which are of course limited to shops accepting those points. So on top of payment methods you also have a dozen of points system, either specific to the shop brand or from a different company that may have agreements with different merchants.

Despite that, cash remains essential, it's very common to end up in a restaurant that only accepts cash, even the convenience of paying your house bills at the konbini requires cash.

I'm not super convinced by the water jet. It can make a mess, it requires a lot of paper to dry if you don't want to wet your pants and if you don't have soap, are you really cleaning?
Heating seat feels like overabundance (a common thing in Japan).
But the sink to clean your hands and reuse this gray water for the next flush is amazing. I think it should be made mandatory in every region with water resources issues. It's still not clear to me, however, if using soap there will cause more maintenance issues or not.
