yet another demonstration, in my view, that France's biggest problem is that its elites do not believe in themselves anymore
i think they believe in themselves, just not in France. an aspect of elite thinking since at least the revolution, you know, La France du déclin économique, démographique, militaire, diplomatique, politique et sociétal has been around for two centuries and counting.
and yet seems to prosper pretty well when left on her own, all things considered.
no, the elites cry "déclin" to mask the fact that they themselves, medias and political figures, are diminishing in power and influence. and who do they hold up as ideals? those they imagine are in the ascendant, the anglophone west.
one thing annoying about the greens i'll grant is this religious phobia they have about technology in the service of man. not all chemicals will cause the end of the world. nuclear energy is relatively clean, relatively inexpensive, safer than many alternative. transgenic agriculture is not necessarily the harbinger of the end of mankind. so the malthusian comment is at least somewhat warranted as a metaphor. (this being said, one of my favorite guys to watch on tv is Noël Mamère.) Nil aon leigheas ar an ngra ach posadh
