Oh, i was thinking that the confusion you were alluding to was about the last paragraphs that were added.

It has been deleted but you can still read it in the modlog if you want me to develop 1-2 paragraph.

If the real problem is only that it is too confusing, if i’m to believe the moderator, then here it is with explanations :

Answer to -6-6-6- about France as a vassal of the 3rd most populated country on Earth, the u.s.a., or, in his words, « France, like the rest of Europe, grovels at the will of the American Empire and does exactly what it demands of it. » :

Oh yeah(, the last paragraphs of https://x.com/RnaudBertrand/status/1823393948775133302 stayed on my mind, and divided we(sterners) will be more easily conquerable), 100%, you won’t find many people here to contradict you.

Answer to the rest of -6-6-6- answer about the influence of wealth in our society or, in his words, « The funny part is that in France the capitalist bourgeoise also control the government and just use different mechanisms of power to do so. » :

On medias ownership in capitalist-owned countries :

The most obvious is the control of the medias, it’d be different if every single french media was saying that Venezuela is awesome and mocking the awful capitalists for being conspiratorial about the elections of countries they dislike.
Instead, every single french media will underline that venezuelans need to be saved from a tyrant, the same goes for other countries.
That’s why american medias could easily make Bernie Sanders president if they changed their definition of “objectivity”.
That’s why most people never heard of the awesome Jill Stein or other 3rd party candidates, France is obviously no exception with little candidates hardly spoken of.

On preventing citizens to present themselves in an election in capitalist-owned countries :

A less obvious one is that in France we don’t even need to explicitly ban political opponents(, awful when it happens in Venezuela, but not in Ecuador or many other countries, they almost succeeded with D.Trump, and apparently succeeded with R.Kennedy), we only have to require candidates to have hundreds of signatures/endorsements from mayors.
Hence, only a handful of candidates manage to get these endorsements, and not only did this number of required signatures went up, but it’s not anonymous anymore(, with the possibility of repercussions).
As expected, while anti-Europe or anti-imperialist candidates could have gotten enough signatures in the past(, strangely), they don’t anymore(, and even if they did the medias wouldn’t talk about such a little candidate, frankly never heard of by people i’ve spoken to).
Even very large political parties only get their signatures in the last weeks, weird.
My candidate would have been Clara Egger on this list of the citizens who tried to have these signatures, but i’ve never heard of most of them.

On election fraud in capitalist-owned countries :

And that’s not even considering that they may be cheating, which wouldn’t surprise me honestly.

Other influences of capitalists :

Obviously it doesn’t stop there : you need money in politics, and the thieves/capitalists sponsors don’t want ‘to give back’/taxes. Medias aren’t enough for our oligarchs, they also want control over the education, survey institutes, think tanks, as well as helping our capitalist-owned state in meddling in foreign countries, which is the real crime here i.m.o. : destroy your country if you want, but leave others alone.

Conclusion about elections :

People aren’t stupid, on the contrary, but they don’t have the time to document themselves, they don’t know that we’re being manipulated.

Out-of-topic : On Israel and the medias :

I do have to acknowledge that i expected more support for Israel, but the latter only said that it wants to take revenge for the (very partial )revenge taken by palestinians on Oct.7th. Israel tried to argue that it was more than revenge(, and we did pretend that the hostages weren’t released because of “Hamas”, and not because Israel refused to agree with a permanent ceasefire in exchange), but the argument of protection wasn’t bought by our medias, and since we agreed on our previous western wars that revenge was enough of a motive, Israel thought that it didn’t need to do more. Still, i expected more support for Israel, not sure if/‘how much’ it helped in restraining israelis.

Out-of-topic : On the medias and the islamists fighters/separatists/heroes/terrorists/rebels/martyrs/humans/murderers/victims/…{choose your denomination} in western Africa :

A good example of propaganda is that islamists in the Alliance of Sahel States are now progressively painted as the good guys since they’re fighting Russia(, even if i don’t expect us to go very far in that direction, we didn’t talk a lot about them in the past and will continue to do so, but the shift of narrative is very obvious, they’re promoted from terrorists to rebels now). Unbelievable i know since we fought them until very recently, and at least as late as president Hollande, but it’s similar to what we did with Bin-Laden in Afghanistan against the soviets after all(, or in Yugoslavia, Chechnya, Xinjiang, …, whatever serves our temporary interest).

To be fair, a reminder that censorship/bias/manipulation isn’t only anti-communist, but on both sides of the Overton window(, which doesn’t have only two directions b.t.w.) :

And the propaganda isn’t only anti-communist, but anti-fascist as well(, the far-right doesn’t identify itself with fascism though). Of course, you’re not going to like this obvious statement, and rightly state that at least far-right movements are supported by some billionaires, it’s just that the censorship&manipulation is directed towards both sides of the Overton window.

A reminder that more direct state censorship is also practiced in western countries :

Then there’s also direct state censorship, with so many examples(, “disinformation”, anti-“terrorism apologia”, “foreign actors”, even Rumble has been banned), but oligarch manipulations is probably more influent, not as if it was a competition.
Sure, things could be worse, especially since we still have the Internet(, for now ?), but keeping power isn’t that hard to do, even if the global distrust towards (legacy/mainstream )medias is a growing thorn is the side.
