Les premiers enseignements à tirer sont que conservatisme et anti-immigrationnisme ne vont pas nécessairement de pair, et que droite et gauche n’entretiennent manifestement pas le même rapport de soumission aux exigences des syndicats patronaux.

Oui c'est un paradoxe apparent de la vie politique européenne. Au Québec, c'est la même chose : le parti souverainiste social-démocrate est plus dur sur l'immigration que la "droite" québécoise. Le lobbying patronal a moins d'importance à gauche.

Littéralement. Et c'est bien fait pour la gauche. Voilà ce qui se passe quand on construit sa base électorale sur de l'idéologie et pas le rapport de classe.

Nick Fuentes is out here predicting Jon Ossoff as the 2028 Democrat nominee and his reasoning is uncomfortably good. “I’m an Ossoff Truther… here’s the best part, he’s also Jewish.” White guy from Georgia. Young. Decent looking. Comes from a real swing state. And because he’s Jewish, he can go after Israel harder than almost anyone else in the party without the left calling him an antisemite and without the donors panicking. Democrats have been stuck between the progressive base that hates Israel and the establishment that still needs Jewish donors and suburban moderates. Ossoff is basically the cheat code that lets them have both. The part that makes this clip funny is who’s saying it. Fuentes has spent years talking about Jewish influence, and now he’s openly saying a Jewish Democrat is the smartest possible nominee. Either he actually believes the strategy, or he’s just enjoying the chaos. Both are worth watching.

Texas went blue a long time ago.

Il est intéressant de constater que le pays européen dont la politique migratoire affiche les meilleurs résultats est le Danemark, gouverné par la gauche, tandis que des exécutifs de droite comme ceux de la Pologne, de la Hongrie ou de l’Italie ont augmenté les flux.

This is literally just like the Westerners going to Moscow or St. Petersburg in Russia and says how great it is. Yet none of them dared travel outside of the 2 decent cities for a reason. China and Russia put all their resources into a couple cities for propaganda and for the elites to live while the rest of the country is a complete shithole.

Was talking with a friend about how public extramarital affairs are handled differently in Chinese versus Western societies, and how expectations placed on the wife diverge sharply once a man’s infidelity becomes public knowledge. As of now, Jensen Huang’s wife Lori has not publicly responded. Obviously she's not obligated to explain or manage her husband’s behavior for the public, and she isn't responsible for protecting or restoring his image. The matter is quite simple and straightforward. The public feels bad for her and knows she is the victim here. Although that said, given how important of a company Nvidia is, the world is kinda waiting with bated breath because her eventual reaction or continued silence carries the potential to ripple through market sentiment, institutional confidence, and the valuations that underwrite countless portfolios, thereby shaping, in no small measure, the net worth of investors the world over. In Chinese society, however, the response often takes a very different form. Just last June, it was reported that Foxconn founder Terry Gou was having an affair with a female golf partner / friend. The media tracked his movements closely, waiting for some statement or reaction. A couple of months later, his wife, Ms. Zeng shared a photo on Instagram of the couple looking happy together. They had flown to California for an event hosted by Apple CEO Tim Cook and posed with him; Gou wore a formal suit while his wife wore an elegant red dress, and both smiled for the cameras. This is a familiar script among Chinese women facing such rumors: publicly posting affectionate couple photos as a way of signaling 支持先生 (support the husband / stand by one’s husband). Gou himself never issued a public comment or statement about the alleged affair, and the matter effectively ended there. When a man’s affair is rumored, Chinese society tends to focus above all on 妻子是否继续站在他身边 (whether the wife continues to stand by his side) as the decisive outcome. They look for signs. Does the wife appear at events, does she pose for photos with her husband? The man himself faces little public accountability. Chinese society has a distinctive way of processing these situations: if one spouse errs, the other is often expected to absorb the consequences and remain at their side. When a man does something wrong, women are frequently expected to 委屈求全 (endure humiliation and compromise to preserve the greater good / swallow one’s pride for the sake of the bigger picture). The questions that circulate are whether the wife will forgive him and whether she will continue to support him if his career or reputation is damaged. This is the biggest difference between Chinese and Western societies when high profile people deal with the fallout extramarital affairs. In Chinese society, women are expected to 顾全大局 (take the overall situation into account / consider the big picture). If the husband makes a mistake, the wife is expected to maintain the family; if he damages the marriage, she is expected to help repair it; and if he publicly apologizes, she is often expected to come forward and forgive him so that the episode can be considered closed. In Western society, by contrast, when an adult errs they are generally left to 自己看着办 (handle it yourself / deal with it on your own). Very few wives step out to “help the husband apologize” or publicly grant him another chance in the same way; adults are expected to own their own mistakes. Look at how it went down for Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos. The notable exception many people point to is Bill and Hillary Clinton - she stood beside him despite his infidelity, a stance that feels more Eastern than Western in its emphasis on standing by one’s partner for the sake of the "larger picture"
