The author attributed Lula's clear victory to a strong popular mobilization, which, according to him, had thwarted the results of the first round and the forecasts. He also believed that the rise of the far right was real, but that its victory was not inevitable and that a path remained open for democratic forces. #Lula #Démocratie #ExtrêmeDroite #BR (translated)

The author stated that the so-called "broken payer" law could allow for the conviction of individuals who have not committed any offense, solely on the grounds that they found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time. He described this principle as "crazy" and indicated that it had been repealed by François Mitterrand in 1981. #FR (translated)
Baloo defended the necessity of better understanding France's colonial and migratory history and called for the fight against racism. He reminded that Italians also suffered racism in France, citing the massacre of Italians in Aigues-Mortes in 1893, and that people of Asian descent were also victims of discrimination. He mentioned the experiences of several colonized peoples or recruited workers. According to him, Algeria had been colonized for 132 years and integrated into France as departments, despite unequal rights. He also stated that Algerians had been recruited to work in factories and on construction sites, sometimes in slums, and that the French army had tortured, raped, and killed civilians during the Algerian war. He wrote that Senegalese and Malians had been enlisted in the French armies, sometimes by force, before being employed in sectors such as mining and construction. He added that agreements had been signed as early as 1963 to bring in Moroccan and Tunisian workers. Baloo also mentioned colonial slavery in the Antilles and Réunion, abolished in 1848, and then the creation of BUMIDOM in 1963 to organize the departure of people to the mainland. He emphasized that these people were already French. Regarding Congo, he attributed forced labor and atrocities that would have caused millions of victims to the reign of Leopold II, King of the Belgians. He estimated that the effects of domination and exploitation persist, particularly in the inequalities in overseas territories and the debates about monetary sovereignty around the CFA franc. However, he clarified that he did not hold today's French responsible for the actions of their ancestors but deemed it necessary to understand this history. Reflecting on his childhood in Montfermeil and the documentary he had made about the town, Baloo stated that in the 1980s, the mayor refused enrollment in school for children from immigrant families. He also described neighborhoods marked, in his opinion, by degraded housing, insufficient infrastructure, and limited prospects. He believed that misery and exclusion could foster certain deviations, without excusing delinquency, and reminded that these neighborhoods also saw the emergence of professionals and artists. Finally, he denounced what he saw as a contradictory treatment of French people of immigrant descent: celebrated as French during World Cup victories but sent back to their origins when they claimed rights or denounced racism. He concluded that no one should have to justify their place in the country where they were born. #Histoire #Éducation #Racisme (translated)
The author wrote that he did not want to lose his bed neighbor, then mentioned the possibility of him spooning with someone. He wondered if the situation resembled The Island of Temptation and mentioned Star Academy. (translated)

Kroc Blanc was pleased to see the people he referred to using a pejorative term feel destabilized, according to him, by the insults and contempt from the Japanese, whom they would idolize. He presented the latter as the creators of the entire manga universe that these people would claim to belong to and described the contrast between their fantasy and reality as brutal. #manga #Frankistan #culture (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that the podcast *Het Wassalon*, for which he claimed 800,000 euros had been allocated, was stopped after 342,619 euros had been spent. He stated that Minister Caro Gennez had initially called the podcast a success because it had reached 1.2 million views, translating that as one in five Flemish people having seen the podcast. According to Vande Reyde, the reach was partly due to 64,000 euros being spent on Meta ads. He argued that views alone said nothing about the impact of a campaign and questioned whether the podcast had actually contributed to the acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals or to the sense of societal acceptance among people with disabilities. He cited an ad that led to an inclusive vocabulary list from Cavaria, featuring terms like “allosexual,” “amatonormativity,” “androphilia,” and “gray asexual.” Vande Reyde criticized the way the government evaluated campaigns, subsidies, and structures like service vouchers, claiming that standards were always found to label such initiatives as successful without determining what had actually changed. Regarding the cessation, he wrote that Gennez attributed it to hate and polarization caused by disinformation, mainly from the parliament, and that she referenced him in that context. Vande Reyde found that reasoning incorrect and stated that Sammy Mahdi, Ben Weyts, Melissa Depraetere, and others in the Flemish podcast world had also criticized the project the previous summer. He argued that the fiasco would yield no lessons and predicted that another useless subsidy would follow. #politiek #socialeimpact #mediaevalutie (translated)
