Marine Le Pen defends Islam. French Interior Minister says she is not tough enough
French Interior Minister accuses Le Pen of saying that Islam is not a problem (she had said, plausibly, that only Islamism is a problem): “vous dites que l’islam n’est même pas un problème”
Her expression is just everything you need to know
Here is what she says that the Minister attacks as too soft: “L’islamisme n’est pas un problème religieux, c’est un problème d’idéologie, il faut lutter contre l’idéologie islamiste, qu’on peut parfaitement séparer de la religion, comme on lutte contre le racisme.”
Minister responds: “You have to take vitamins, you are not hard (dure) enough”
He then goes on the attack: “you are even ready Madame Le Pen to say that Islam is not a problem”

Now Biden: recover the international order as created by the US. American power greater in that framework and it also provides stable guidance, north star and compass. But...

Question I would like to ask is whether Bitcoin is the historical answer to this problem. How can you prevent any of these alternative realities from becoming dominant? The only way is to remove the power centers from which it can rule. Decentralization follows from “truth wars”
But doesn’t Bitcoin rely on truth? Yes, but it’s a manufactured truth (inviolability and acceptance have been manufactured through proof of stake) and thus appropriate for an age where truth does not naturally exist
But the whole story of course, going back decades, is that there is something like a conspiracy to artificially suppress silver prices. And now the Redditors promise to uncover it
