Not really though? He’s using his position as the alternative to Le Pen in order to push extremely unpopular measures, which is absolutely the reason for Le Pen’s popularity.

For that reason, I absolutely agree that he (and other politicians using the same strategy) is no different to Biden

4B is highly transphobic tho

Strong disagree. If the cornerstone of your candidacy is “I’m not the other guy” then you’ve lost already

They’ve not fallen in perception to those whose medical opinion matters

Yes and it is being thoroughly investigated, as it should be. But so far nothing has been found, so sensationalism is only detrimental as:

• it takes away focus from materials that have actually been found to be harmful
• puts public pressure on researchers, and if they don’t find something quick it might be the end of the whole field, and then they might have difficulties funding research on future polymers
• builds up anxiety about something we can’t do anything about (the plastics are there and they’re here to stay for a while)

The estimated free labor done by mods is valued at around 3.5m a year, how are they gonna find that amount of manpower? And how are they gonna properly vet these mods in such short notice?

Mods already are carefully picked and yet slips happen often, if they rush a replacement (which they will have to do if they force new mods) then moderation issues will be a big issue on reddit

Well there is also human cost for development, PR etc, which also probably costs a lot
