Tony's bitching about Macron seems to be wildly overblown, to no surpise to anyone. Macron merely made a statement that a proposal by a fringe leftist party that troons should be able to "change their sex" by merely going to there local City Hall or Town Hall and registering as the opposite sex was "completely crazy." This reasonable and common sense position has been spun out of proprotion by troon wacktivists like Tony to suggest that Macron has been "seduced by the anti-trans movement."
Macron draws fire on trans rights comments
1. "Left" and "right" in France don't line up to left and right in America. Not all countries have a political left/center-left whose leaders are uniformly and inextricably knitted to every new bizarre social idea coming out of the US. Tony cannot understand this this because he is a retard with only the most tenuous grasp of the existence of other people.
2. A lot of people in France (correctly) see le wokisme* as an influx of American/Anglosphere values that threatens their culture, not to mention all its other issues. Macron knows this, and is making an attempt to keep centrist voters on his side. This isn't some new turn, he has made similar statements about its damage on the culture before. Tony just thinks it's something new because it's the first time Tony has personally noticed it, and Tony also lacks a grasp of object permanence.
*Not a joke, that is actually the word for it. Personally I love it and think that everyone talking about wokeness in real life should switch to saying
le wokisme with an exaggerated French accent, just to spice things up a bit
One interesting thing about
that Politico article is that the
French beat journalist writing it translates Macron's statement (
des choses complètement ubuesques) as "completely crazy things" and then
in the next fucking paragraph re-translates it (less accurately but more dramatically) as "gruesome things."

The adjective "ubuesque" that Macron used dates back to a surrealist play from the early 20th century and can be fairly translated as "crazy" "ludicrous" "surreal" or even "grotesque."
Gruesome is not a fair translation by any stretch of the imagination; this guy is just making shit up and
he can't even lie consistently.
Sorry for going off topic, but yeah. Fuck journalists, and especially fuck foreign journalists whose grift is lying to Americans via propaganda.
