    Hitler was funded by the wealthy. It is always in the interests of the wealthy to have a far right govt.

      Well, if you read the article, this guy has a pretty big impact on France’s political climate.

      One program funded by Mr. Stérin has, by his count, trained at least 4,000 right-wing candidates in the municipal elections. With the far-right National Rally party projected to potentially win the presidency next year, Mr. Stérin is striving to accelerate France’s rightward shift.

      What kind of changes is he looking push for France? Well for one he wants to ban Muslims from France down to their food and dress and wants to deport immigrants (read: Muslims).

      The guy doesn’t even live in France. He moved to Belgium 14 years ago to avoid paying taxes. So why the interest in politics? Oh yeah, right…

      Finally, he would slash the country’s taxes; dismantle the welfare system; privatize education and health care delivery; and end public funding for culture. “I am a fervent supporter of competition,” he said.

      “I’m ahead already so fuck all of you.”

      Hope France remembers its roots. Fuck this guy.

            Left already knows the far right is a problem, “centre” often cooperates with it, thinking they can keep it in control.

              I don’t think that’s the truth anymore, in France the centre is fully cooperating with the right and far right, and opposed to the left.

              Heck, even the “moderate left” is not really left anymore, and would rather side with the right than with the actual left.

              The political scale got completely shifted to normalize the far right, the left barely exists anymore.

                  LFI that is almost universally hated by all other parties. Mainly because of a smear campaign pushed by the right-wing parties, all while doing an opposite campaign to clear the far-right.

                  Now a lot of people consider that if they had to choose, they’d rather vote for the right/far-right than LFI, because people are now scared of them like americans were scared of communists. They are shown as a group of chaotic, violent, dangerous and vicious anarchists.

          And if I show you one rich person who does not fund the far right, thus disproving your comment, you will somehow snake away from the conclusion, right?

          What do you consider “rich”?

            What are you trying to prove exactly?

            That being rich is acceptable and capitalism is valid? I’m not going to bother debating about that.

              I guess most of all I was trying to figure out whether you will contribute to my social media experience mainly negatively or somehow better.

              Now I know. Thank you.

    His success story involves failing to start a business 20 times over while being supported by his parents, lol.
