What's your point? That seeing how we're getting screwed is bad for us?

How about having the government actually do better and be accountable for it instead? How about Macron promising to follow the CCC's recommendations on dealing with the climate crisis and instead throwing it all in the trash?

That you attribute my remarks to some kind of misled social media craze is what's actually messed up in this exchange. And as far as I can tell, the guardian or euro news are far from being simple tiktok ads, but people who refuse to see things will continue to find arguments in bad faith to do so.
