Gilles, je vais démonter ta prémisse de départ, parce que tout le reste de ton argument s'effondre avec elle. Tu pars du principe qu'il faut une « sensibilité de gauche » pour ne pas laisser créver les gens de faim. C'est l'inverse total de ce que dit l'histoire économique des 50 dernières années. Les chiffres bruts. 1990 : 2,3 milliards de personnes en pauvreté extrême. 38% de l'humanité. 2025 : 831 millions. Environ 10%. 1,5 milliard d'êtres humains sortis de la misère absolue en 35 ans. La plus grande réduction de souffrance humaine de toute l'histoire de l'espèce. Qui a fait ça ? Pas l'aide internationale. Pas les ONG. Pas les programmes de redistribution. Pas la « sensibilité de gauche ». Le marché. L'ouverture commerciale. La Chine de Deng en 1978 qui abandonne le maoisme. L'Inde en 1991 qui libéralise. Le Vietnam, l'Indonésie, le Bangladesh qui s'ouvrent au capitalisme. Les seuls endroits où l'extrême pauvreté a EXPLOSÉ sur la même période ? Le Vénézuela socialiste : de 27% de pauvres en 2008 à plus de 80% en 2018, avec une inflation de 130 000% et un Vénézuélien moyen qui a perdu 11 kilos par dénutrition. La Corée du Nord. Cuba. Le Zimbabwe de Mugabe. La gauche ne nourrit pas les pauvres. Elle les fabrique. Le capitalisme produit tellement de richesse que même ses « perdants » américains vivent mieux que la classe moyenne soviétique. Un pauvre US a un frigo, une voiture, un téléphone, l'air conditionné, internet. Un pauvre cubain attend du riz. Ton argument selon lequel « le social aux USA est un désastre » repète une légende française. La réalité : le PIB par habitant américain est de 80 000$. Français : 45 000$. Un Mississippien — l'État US le plus pauvre — a un revenu médian supérieur au Français moyen. La vérité que la gauche française refuse de regarder : dans un système libéral, il y a plus de richesse créée, plus largement distribuée, et beaucoup moins de pauvres. Partout. Sans exception. Sur toutes les périodes mesurées. ÊTRE de gauche en 2026 face à ces données, ce n'est pas avoir de la « sensibilité ». C'est ignorer 35 ans de preuves accablantes. C'est préférer la posture morale au résultat. La compassion sans résultats, ça s'appelle de la vanité.
Gilles Gautier 🐰 🇫🇷🌻☣🪔2° 💸@JackBoHare

Avoir une sensibilité de gauche est largement compréhensible voire nécessaire. On ne peut pas laisser crever des personnes de faim. Le social au USA est juste un désastre. Mais aujourd'hui les gens qui se disent de gauche ne sont pas de gauche. C'est un essaim de criquet, des gens corrodés par l'envie qui pense juste qu'ils devraient tout avoir sans fournir le moindre effort. Des totalitaires en puissance qui voudrait tout accaparer pour le détruire dans la joie.

@sakebu_cheese_ Especially because university registration fees are so high here in the U.S. as compared to when I was in school. There is so much administrative bloat. Paying for a dormitory or apartment plus meal plan on top of that is not something I can afford.

@myam4 日本の考えとかなり近いです 私も大学生までは実家に住んでいました。 今の経済状況を考えると無理をして自立させるより。無駄な出費は減らして、ある程度準備できたら自立する方が現実的に感じます。 まあ、僕の場合は貯金できなかったけど🤣

世界のみなさんこんばんは🌍🇺🇸🏠 アメリカでは、「18歳になったら親元を離れるべき」という考え方が強いって本当ですか?👀 日本では、大学生や半数ほどは実家から大学へ通いますし。社会人になっても実家暮らしの人もいます🇯🇵 なので、日本人からすると 18歳で完全に自立はかなりハードに感じます😳 実際アメリカでは、親に「そろそろ家を出なさい」と言われるケースって多いんですか?🤔

📺On May 18, 1988, Fox’s ‘The Late Show’ hosted a reunion of the cast of ‘Gilligan’s Island,’ bringing together the sitcom’s cast members for a nostalgic look back at the classic series. It marked the final time the full regular cast appeared together publicly. Jim Backus, who played Thurston Howell III, died the following year in 1989

@DropAPinShow As for the U.S., I’m thinking it’s the proportionality factor…the average woman is pretty large as a whole.

.@GadSaad agrees with Orwell: it takes an intellectual to come up with truly stupid ideas. When academics are disconnected from reality or accountability, bad ideas spread like parasites. While STEM professionals have to answer for their mistakes, humanities professors build theories that no one ever has to test. That lack of accountability is exactly how toxic ideas take over a university and eventually a culture. If these professors can't survive the scrutiny of their own ideas, should they be teaching our children? Watch here 👉l.prageru.com/49RBlY7

@cloudighodaro I’ve seen this video about 5 times now over time and it’s still a fun watch every time. As in Englishman she has a point our language is dumb. I wonder if she ever found out about words spelt the same but sound different like dove & dove or live & live as two examples 🤣

@learning_yohei @DMitc0405 I’m seeing that Mandarín is the second most spoken language on earth, followed by Hindi. Then Spanish. Mandarin would be useful in some occupations. Hindi? Not as much. Spanish? Quite useful for business and social reasons, plus relatively speaking, quite easy for us to learn.

@melolso @BlissTabitha @CardioFixer Kind of paradoxical that a lot of Phoenix people wilt in the heat because they are constantly bathed in AC. A dry 97 isn't bad but I guess different people have differing tolerances. I will give you that direct sunlight in Flag is super intense, and heats up surfaces like crazy.

@myam4 @BlissTabitha @CardioFixer Well I stand corrected. 97 is the highest, but that is still hooooot. I remember in 2019 there was a long stretch of the high 90’s peaking and I was in the ER 3 times. All of AZ is getting too hot for real lol. I miss Flag but until everywhere is air conditioned I can’t do it.

Did you know these strange but true facts about our great state 48? Arizona: Where even the cacti have more rights than you: - We were the LAST contiguous state to join the Union… on Valentine’s Day in 1912. Romantic, right? - Kill a saguaro cactus = up to 1 year in prison. (they’re basically our state pets) - We let women vote 8 years BEFORE the rest of the country. Girl power since forever! - Our name literally means “little spring”… yeah, in a state that’s mostly desert. Geographical & Natural Oddities: - We bought the real London Bridge for $2.4M, shipped it, and rebuilt it in Lake Havasu. England’s loss, our vibe. - The Sonoran Desert can freeze solid, that’s why saguaros stop at a certain line. Prickly but dramatic! - Montezuma Well: A sinkhole pumping 1.5 million gallons of arsenic water a day… but it has its own unique creatures that live nowhere else. Nature’s toxic spa. - Grand Canyon has ZERO dinosaur fossils, the rocks are way older. Sorry, Jurassic Park fans. Weirdest facts: - First McDonald’s drive-thru? Born in Sierra Vista in 1975, because soldiers couldn’t leave their cars in uniform. - In 1997, the Governor and half of Phoenix saw a giant V-shaped UFO. Still no explanation. - Our flag has a copper star because we’re America’s #1 copper producer. Bling on the flag! - We have more mountains than Switzerland… and way better sunsets. Arizona: Dry, prickly, and proudly weird. 😎🌵

@melolso @BlissTabitha @CardioFixer I’ve lived in Flag for the past 23 years, I don’t have AC (just swamp cooler) and it’s still great. 20-30 degrees cooler than the valley. Kinda hot mid day in June; highs in the mid 90s. Then monsoon hits and it cools somewhat. AC is pretty standard in local businesses.

@myam4 @BlissTabitha @CardioFixer LOL. I’m from flagstaff and I had to move to the valley bc the 100° temp days became more common and the city doesn’t have enough places that have AC for relief. Your response is a load of bullshit.
