The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Because then, people who are fed up of poverty, racism, a wealth gap. jingoistic Pat Buchanan talk of "national identity" and "French way of life"......start feeling resentment and they are forced to turn to means of expressing themselves that SOME judgmental MAGA types will rush to decry as 'murder' and 'terrorism'.

Well when I said I'm making "cuts in France" I was just talking fiscally. People, if you're reading my posts please note the "cuts" I wanted were about money and you were doing a good job with that. If you take it this far, well, I hope you get the rehabilitation employment, and pension plan you need so you knock this horseshit off. And I really hope France becomes more inclusive too.

reuters.com - French police arrest man after knife attack paris

"French police arrest man after he attacked three women with knives in Paris"

"Video aired on social platform X and ​verified by Reuters showed a man with long black hair, wearing a cream tracksuit and wielding one big knife in each hand stabbing and attempting ​to attack a young woman. It is unclear if ​the woman was injured."

"Another part of the video shows the same ‌man ⁠lying on the ground immobilized by bystanders, while the two knives are lying nearby on a pedestrian crossing.
"It is Allah who commanded me," the man lying on the floor ​said."

See now why does Reuters - a known MAGA media favorite - have to put in that Allah stuff. Whites and Christians kill all the time. So why single this lad out and cause him even more angst and insecurity.

He needs a jobs program and $15 an hour.

And France needs to be more open to multiculturalism as a structural part of France.

Personal attacks here - seem to lead to quite the results abroad.

Curious, that.
