Tragedy of the Jade Nightingale. Or: My thoughts on Vol. 11 of the Apothecary Diaries.

Given that this volume just came out in English a few days ago, spoilers under the cut!

I usually think of the Apothecary Diaries volumes as pairs - usually two volumes make up an arc. If so, Volume 11 will be the first half of the arc with 12, but it also functions beautifully as a tragedy in it's own right.

** I will be only discussing information appearing officially through Vol. 11. Yes, I have read the fan translations of the web novels, but given that details can change, until it appears in official English translation, I won't yet be including it here.

The Hero

Gyoku-ou. Talk about someone who thinks he's smarter than he actually is. We knew this guy was a threat all the way back in Vol. 8, with how Gyokuyou reacted to her brother's letter and his veiled insult of sending a younger version of herself to catch either her husband's attention or the Imperial Brother's. Now we get to see him in action and he's scary - right up until he's not.

This man is charismatic as anything - he understands what makes people tick on both an individual level as well as a social level. His ability to wield a mob effectively makes him extremely dangerous, but I'm oddly put in mind of Lakan's initial impression of Fengxian. "This woman is strong, but she only knows how to fight in her own, small world."

The world Gyoku-ou inhabits is a very small, petty one. You can see it in his conspiracy theory about Jinshi's birth.

Jinshi is one of two people Gyoku-ou fails to read. When he brings Lakan and Jinshi to his puppet council to gauge support for attacking Shaoh, he thinks he's got a young malcontent in his hands, someone who wants power and is prone to the flashes of temper and insult that often drive young men. Someone who is easily manipulated. Instead, Jinshi mops the floor with him in that meeting, cutting Lakan's support out from under Gyoku-ou and making it clear that his priority is peace above war.

This doesn't take away from Gyoku-ou's political genius - this meeting teaches him that Jinshi has to be maneuvered around, rather than maneuvered directly. If the Imperial Brother doesn't want to play his part, then too bad. Gyoku-ou will see to it that Jinshi is hedged in all directions except where he wants him to go - which is to war. And even then, he's got a fight on his hands as Jinshi fully takes advantage of Empress Gyokuyou's information to undercut Gyoku-ou's support within his own family.

It's a mark of Jinshi's political skill that Gyoku-ou's move in that family council is to flirt with treason. If he can't maneuver the Imperial family through Jinshi, then he shifts tactics to turn Jinshi (and the rest of the Imperial Family) into the villain of his piece - a prince born and raised into utter depravity.

Let's just sit with what Gyoku-ou suggests to the rest of his siblings (minus the Empress) in that meeting. He implies that the Emperor impregnated his own mother in order to produce an heir. A son that he loves so dearly (and unnaturally) that he would willingly look the other way while Jinshi murders his other children in order to make sure that his brother-son-lover succeeds the throne.

This is a brilliant examination of how the bare facts of the situation can be construed by people with very different motivations to fit whatever worldview is most convenient for them. I'm a fan of the palace politics in this series because they feel very real.

Gyoku-ou doesn't lie once. But boy does he create a narrative that suits his purposes and dares anyone (namely Rikuson) to tell Jinshi. He is escalating the situation and he's doing it fast, while also challenging the legitimacy of the Imperial Family. A fact which, if it does get back to Jinshi (or the Emperor), could get the entire new You Clan wiped out just as fast as the Yi Clan was. This scene functions as a microcosm of Gyoku-ou's two fundamental character flaws; his short term thinking and his utter self-absorption.

Becoming The Wind

Since Rikuson was introduced in Vol. 5, he's been a mirror for Jinshi. He's a "pretty boy," calm under pressure, fundamentally kind and decent to other people while also being extremely competent at his job. Unlike Jinshi, he's also a bit older and more mature. He also clearly admires Maomao and sees the qualities that make her exceptional, despite her various masks.

As it turns out, Rikuson mirrors Jinshi in another important sense too - he also has a secret identity. The Yi Clan were the de facto royalty of the Western Capital and Rikuson is one of the direct survivors of the clan. He was never in the line of succession given the Yi Clan's matrilineal structure. But they were quick enough to save some of the children, namely Rikuson and Empress Gyokuyou's three ladies in waiting, Haku'u, Koku'u and Seki'u.

Rikuson, who was Gyoku-ou's excuse to trick His Former Majesty into giving him the authorization to destroy the Yi Clan. Rather than truly being an bastard Imperial prince, he's a young pawn in Gyoku-ou's hands to whip up an armed mob to hunt Rikuson down - and his mother and sister give their lives to ensure his survival - not for vengeance, but so that the Yi Clan's mission of protecting the west will live on even if the named clan itself dies. So, like Jinshi, he is dedicated to the welfare of the people above all else.

The trouble with relying on an unruly mob is that it's sloppy. Gyoku-ou left multiple survivors and they have absolutely no love for him. He's left weapons at his back.

Rikuson is the other person Gyoku-ou utterly fails to read. He spends well over a year back in his homeland, working for Gyoku-ou as an aide ostensibly from the central region, patiently waiting for an opening - even as Gyoku-ou, who knows that Rikuson has to be assigned to the west with some kind of ulterior motive, is so blind that he thinks he must be a secret member of the La Clan, rather than the Yi boy he tried to kill seventeen years earlier.

Rikuson represents the culmination Gyoku-ou's short term thinking in that he doesn't bother to think about the threat of any surviving Yi clan might pose to him.

He will not insult his mother's memory, or his sister's. But if his mission of protecting the west coincides with vengeance for his family? Sure enough, Gyoku-ou's insistence on going to war (and dragging the Imperial family's legitimacy into his motivations) gives Rikuson his opening; especially because he isn't a vigilante.

He is acting under orders.

The New You

Rikuson's point about Gyoku-ou's life being a tragedy hits home when you consider Gyokuyou's thoughts of how she knows her father loves her - but would also abandon her in a heartbeat if she is no longer valuable to him. Unlike her older brother, she has a very clear-eyed view of how their father operates and focuses on making sure that her value never drops in his eyes.

Gyoku-ou's value to Gyoku'en plummeted the day he destroyed the Yi Clan - Gyoku'en's family. He was given a second chance to show that he could still perform the single function of the men of the Yi Clan - to protect the west. When he endangered it instead, Gyoku'en sent the weapon he'd spent seventeen years preparing (Rikuson) with an execution order.

By first destroying the Yi Clan and then following it up with a proposed invasion of Shaoh, Gyoku-ou proved to Gyoku'en that he was no son of his. Given how desperate he was to be his father's son, this whole book is a tragedy in the classic sense. The Jade Nightingale was so desperate to reinvent himself as a Jade Eagle that he destroyed himself in pursuit of the one thing he never lost - his father's love. But, to be his father's heir, what he needed was Gyoku'en's trust and respect, not his love.

And he killed that seventeen years ago along with the Yi Clan.

Ironically, the foreign born girl that he despised and attempted to undermine at every opportunity, emerges as their father's true heir and mother of the nation, with the rest of the surviving Yi clan as part of her loyal retinue.

In her triumph, the Yi Clan is reborn as the You Clan as Gyoku'en, a Yi man, is given a clan name on the strength of Gyokuyou's role as Empress. So much of their history has been lost, down to the matrilineal succession and family records, but their mission lives on through the Yi men who will continue to protect the west, no matter the personal cost to themselves. There is no room for self-absorption here, therefore Gyoku-ou has no place in their new clan.

Also, a parallel to pay attention to is how the destruction of the Yi Clan and the Shi Clan are mirroring each other with the children being saved. The Yi Clan is reborn with a new name, which leads one to wonder what the consequences of saving those Shi children will be long term.

A Dagger In The Dark

Gyoku-ou sucks up a lot of air in Vol. 11 because he is driving the action - Jinshi, Maomao and their party are all stuck reacting to him, except for one character; Chue.

We see Chue attach herself to Maomao starting with the ship and it's not difficult to guess that just as Lihaku is serving as a discreet bodyguard for Maomao on Jinshi's orders, Chue is also there as protection. Chue doesn't try to conceal that she is clearly trained in espionage either.

Rikuson's proposal to Maomao is not a serious bid for her hand, but nor is it a joke - it's a message to Chue that Jinshi needs to tighten security around Maomao. As he puts it, he knows the "hyper protective" elements around her will close ranks. Because he's foreseen a strategy that may not have yet occurred to Gyoku-ou (who tends not to pay attention to the bit parts of the play), but if it does would almost certainly push the country into war.

Maomao is the lever that could move both Lakan and Jinshi.

All he has to do is kill her and make it look like a foreign attack. Lakan's instinctive ability to read a situation and Jinshi's formidable investigative skills would likely be dulled in the face of their rage and grief. Especially since they are technically Gyoku-ou's guests and don't have freedom of movement to push the issue.

Rikuson seizes his opportunity before Gyoku-ou can continue to escalate, but he realizes quickly that Chue arranged the stage and was there as both spy and backup assassin. (I think it's safe to say that Gyoku-ou's conspiracy theory AND that Yi family ledger will be reported, given that we know there were ladies-in-waiting at the meeting and that's how Chue was disguised - and she didn't actually promise to dispose of it).

Gyoku-ou doesn't bother to think that while the Emperor may be far away and the Imperial Brother is a manageable threat, that the people surrounding Jinshi may not be bound by his strictures. Hence, Chue was on standby. No matter what, Gyoku-ou was never going to make it to that ritual. He was never smart enough to realize that his crossing the line would be never be forgiven.

While Jinshi would order an execution if necessary (and has in the past), he would never order an assassination. Therefore, it's evident that Chue reports to someone else. Who that someone is, we don't know, but there's only one person further up the Imperial tree than Jinshi, so it would be reasonable for Rikuson to assume that the Emperor has placed additional protection around not just Jinshi, but Maomao.

Exclusive: Baby Swap!

Jinshi's birth is not a secret to the audience and while Maomao doesn't have confirmation, she's pretty certain of her suspicion. This volume made it patently obvious that there are others out there who are perfectly capable of putting the pieces together, even if the details are twisted.

Let's return to Gyoku-ou's conspiracy theory.

He's put together all the correct pieces. The Emperor's attitude toward Jinshi makes no sense in a traditional palace setting - a much younger, handsome, charismatic and competent brother? That's a threat to the Emperor and his direct line. But Jinshi is never treated that way - instead he's indulged on many fronts.

He's allowed to duck most of his official duties as Ka Zuigetsu (except for a few he can't, where he appears masked).

He's allowed to pretend to be a eunuch for six years and run the Rear Palace.

When he finally reveals himself to the court to put down the Shi Rebellion, he's described as "hale" and "just as proficient in the military arts as the administrative." (More proof that Jinshi is NOT the best judge of his own abilities). He emerges fully formed into court politics - a perfectly trained Crown Prince - only to have a newborn given the title instead.

Gyoku-ou deliberately put the worst possible spin on these facts. I suspect the rest of the You siblings are going to keep their mouths shut about Gyoku-ou's ugly theory, but if he could think of it, if Maomao could think of it with just seeing Jinshi standing next to Lady Ah-Duo, then so can others.

Maomao can be mad about Jinshi branding himself all she wants, but it's currently looking like an absolutely BRILLIANT move on Jinshi's part. Whatever doubts Gyoku-ou managed to plant about Jinshi and the Emperor's motives with the rest of the You clan siblings, Empress Gyokuyou is not likely to entertain it.

Also, it got the Emperor to essentially "banish" Jinshi to the edges of the Empire shortly after his new Crown Prince was born, which makes it look to other members of the court like the Emperor is taking steps to rein in his younger brother and balances the factions that have to be forming back in the capital.

This is not a secret that can be kept forever. No matter how careful Ah-Duo and Anshi were, the information is starting to leak out around the edges, as we see that the Empress' ladies in waiting that were dismissed clearly had eyes and ears - and in at least one case, a loose tongue.

The next arc is being seeded and Jinshi is inching closer and closer to that throne. He ran the Rear Palace for years (essentially managing the nation in microcosm) and as of the end of Vol. 11, he's now stepping up to govern a province and gain actual ruling experience while also having suppressed a war.

I've said before that Jinshi ascending the throne is the bad ending - if there is a single person who is more trapped by the palace than the prince, it's the emperor. We'll see what happens!

François Bayrou et le procès sur un sujet de fond : la politisation progressive des collaborateurs de collectivités payés sur des fonds publics : depuis lundi, à Paris, le procès du Modem et de François Bayrou est ouvert. La question de fond : le contenu du travail de collaborateurs payés sur fonds publics. C'est un sujet important pour trois raisons : 1) dans quelle mesure des juges peuvent-ils s'immiscer dans l'appréciation du contenu du travail de collaborateurs d'élus ? Pendant longtemps, une frontière existait pour considérer que ce domaine là ne pouvait être exploré. Cette barrière a sauté. 2) Puisque cette barrière a sauté, dans ce contenu, où est la séparation entre un travail pour la collectivité et un travail pour le parti politique ou pour un leader politique ? La définition de ce nouveau périmètre sera très intéressante. 3) Quelles autres situations en dehors du Modem ? Quand l'institution judiciaire sortira-t-elle de la culture de l'exemple pour frapper identiquement toutes les situations analogues sans la moindre exception ? Ce dernier volet est lui aussi un réel sujet de fond. Comment est-il possible de

purger un problème grave en ne traitant qu'un ou deux exemples ? La question est essentielle : la politisation des personnels des collectivités publiques. Au début de la décentralisation, les passerelles avec des fonctionnaires d'Etat devaient contribuer à renforcer un pouvoir d'expertise tout en respectant l'impartialité partisane. Cette étape est passée. Désormais, les filières locales sont des carrières aussi intéressantes que des carrières d'Etat, voire parfois davantage, et les collaborateurs deviennent souvent d'abord attachés aux décideurs du moment plutôt qu'à la collectivité comme Institution. Une nouvelle donne majeure.

Emmanuel Macron and the government at the time of choice

The government must decide in the coming days on issues related to pension reform, in particular that of the method, while several figures of the majority have warned against a “forced passage”. Decisive week for the executive. After a long sequence where everyone – majority parties as well as opposition parties – was able to take a position on the pension reform wanted by the Élysée and…

What are your top 5 Strawmitri arguments?

Mine would be, in no particular order:

Dimitri cares about the present, therefore he doesn't care at all about the future and would be a terrible leader because of it

He's so mentally ill he can never hope to recover, and as such Edelgard did him a favor by killing him in CF

He's more at fault for the war than Edelgard because he fought back after she attacked first and unprovoked, instead of letting her take Faerghus without a fight

The entire point of Dimitri's character and of AM in general is how royalty can get away with commiting crimes commoners would be executed for, since Fleche gets killed for trying to take revenge on him but he survives in spite of all the people he killed when he was at his most unhinged

Dimitri's hatred of Edelgard is rooted in his love for her back when they were kids, which is why him killing her in AM by stabbing her with his phallic-shaped lance is supposed to be symbolic of his desire to fuck her

Oh gods, I remember I wanted to make a "redshit takes awards" once upon a time, but then I gave up lol

I haven't browsed that much about Dimitri nor given too much thought about the discourse surrounding him because laughing at the Rhea takes took way too much time, but I think I really laughed at the :

Dimitri is racist because he cuts Claude when Claude is being an asshole about the Abyss

Even if I can't forgot the

Defensive invasion

Dimitri represents toxic masculinity (the guy who has traditional "feminine" coded hobbies like sewing, who cries, who blushes calling his friends by their first names, whose biggest default and the one that leads him to his downfall is his empathy, etc etc)

Dimitri stole Felix and Annette's dads :(

dimitri is a religious extremist because he shelters Rhea who is also a religious extremist. source : trust me bro I know i have a degree in advanced bullshit

the State of Quo - as Dimitri reforms his country like his dad wanted to do but never got the chance because his head rolled from his shoulders for some reason - this one was parroted in Nopes because how dare he want a progressive change rather than a radical one !!

and last but not the least, and it's less about Dimitri than about the poor redshiter who said something like "women love dimitri because they are controled by their ovaries and they prefer a violent man who would abuse them rather than real people like me :("

Oh and also, as a french person so far removed from american politics, the "Dimitri is a centrist" take always made me laugh (Dimitri chez Bayrou?)

From your takes though, I'd rank them like this :

peepee weapon thus stabbing Supreme Leader means he wanted to fuck her and this is why he goes "cray-cray" because she didn't reciprocate his affections (and totes not because he believes she killed his father, their mother, his friends and actually starts a war slaughtering thousands of randoms)

"too cray-cray to live"

caring about the present sucks because you don't care about the future (which is totally not built on the people living in the present!)

nobles bad because they kill commoners who try to kill them :(

victim blaming (this one is so mainstream!)

#anon #replies #fandom woes #i think the racist!dimitri really takes the cake though #i guess there really are some cultural differences and stuff I can't really get as a non us person #of course the double standard is ridiculous here but that's the Fodlan fandom for you #if Dimitri breathes he is bad but if Supreme Leader eats a marshmallow she's awesome #FE16 #Dimitri BaD

La partition Droite / Gauche : une utopie ou une dystopie ?

Il ne faut jamais oublier que la principale raison pour laquelle 24,01 % des français ont voté pour Macron en mai 2017 --avant que 66 % ne votent contre Marine lePen au second tour, a été que notre jeune Mozart de la gestion de crises (à ceci près que c'est lui qui fabrique les-dites ''crises'' pour les commenter sans jamais les résoudre !) avait réussi à faire croire à un tout petit quart des électeurs qu'il avait trouvé, lui, le ''Sésame-ouvre-toi'' du bonheur sur la Terre : ''la séparation ’‘Gauche / Droite” n'existe pas !''. Cette pathologie tri-centenaire frappe des politiciens qui croient que ratisser large les fera élire : le mythe “ni...ni...” refait alors surface, le temps d'une campagne.

Les appellations “Droite” et “Gauche” ne doivent leur nom qu'à un événement mineur : le 28 juillet 1789, se disputant sur les poids relatifs de l'autorité royale et du pouvoir de l'assemblée populaire dans la future Constitution, les constituants se séparèrent en deux groupes. Les partisans du veto royal se mirent à la droite du président de l’Assemblée, et les opposants à ce veto se groupèrent à sa gauche. Et c'est à ce hasard que nous devons les errances lévogyres des Bayrou, des Darmanin, des Le Maire, ou d'autres, dans les palais officiels notre république.

La permanence d'une perception “de droite” et d'une vision“de gauche” (les américains disent, joliment : les “pros” et les “cons” !) se retrouve dans tous les pays, ce qui s'explique : la structure “bi-lobaire” du cerveau humain n'a aucun mal à percevoir l'existence de fait d'une différenciation entre pour et contre, entre nous et vous ou “moi” et “eux”, entre les uns et les autres, voire entre raison et passion, ou que sais-je, encore ! Si les mots Gauche et Droite sont assez récents dans ce sens, cette dichotomie est très ancrée dans notre humanité.

On la trouve dès 350 av. JC, dans “l'ordre naturel des choses” d'Aristote (Ethique à Nicomaque) : l'individu n'a eu besoin d'inventer un gouvernement que pour protéger sa vie, sa liberté et ses biens, et le pouvoir politique ne saurait donc disposer des individus ou de leurs biens : il est –ou devrait être-- à leur service… Une si belle réflexion, qui serait qualifiée “de Droite” de nos jours, a été contrée par Hobbes (in– le Leviathan-1621) puis par Rousseau (le Contrat social -1762) sous le nom d’un ordre contractuel qui voudrait appliquer à tous les domaines des raisonnements de type économique, ce qui a engendré un culte de l'Etat --devenu, par la suite, une iso-religion sectaire. Mais contrairement à ce que nos ''malfaisants'' tentent de faire croire depuis 2 siècles, l'existence d'une Gauche et d'une Droite n'a rien à voir avec le “combat du bien contre le mal” que Sartre évoquait dans ma jeunesse (Nous allions l'écouter dans les arrière-salles enfumées du Saint Germain des Prés des années 1950, sans tout comprendre -et pour cause--… Que de temps perdu !).

C'est à la fin du XIX ème siècle que la séparation entre Gauche et Droite a débordé sur le terrain des valeurs et des idées. (NDLR : certains voient là une conséquence de l'affaire Dreyfus, qui divisa notre pays comme l’a fait l'opposition entre Pétain et de Gaulle... ou, mutatis mutandis, le passage en force –ce que même Macron a reconnu, dans un de ses rares accès de lucidité– de cette loi “Taubira” qui a confirmé l'échec XXL du quinquennat hollandais). La Gauche (qui n'est que le fruit blet de montages intellectuels) a réussi a faire croire un temps qu'il existerait aussi une ''théorie de la Droite''... ce qui n'a jamais été le cas : personne ne peut citer une ''doctrine dite de Droite'' qui soit comparable aux élucubrations venant de la Gauche –qui sont, en plus, les seules explications à son existence.

En allant au bout de ce raisonnement –inattaquable dans son essence comme dans son existence (pour montrer qu'il me reste un micro-souvenir des conneries de Sartre) mais rigoureusement interdit depuis 1968– on peut dire que tout groupe humain identifiable (famille, tribu, horde, clan, association, etc...) évolue suivant des ''errements'' que comprend la nature, et finit par en arriver, spontanément, à des structures comparables à ce que les théoriciens de Gauche désignent comme ''la Droite'' Que ce soit bien ou mal est un autre sujet sur lequel je suis prêt à donner mon avis, ''sur simple demande'' !

A l'arrivée (quelle qu'elle soit), cette opposition entre ''une évolution logique pratiquement incontournable'' et un artefact (= Structure d'origine artificielle qui altère un phénomène naturel) érigé en ''système''... se traduit, sur le terrain, par deux conceptions du monde : la Gauche défend pêle-mêle l'égalité (dévoyée jusqu'à l'égalitarisme inégal à la mode)... un ‘’progrès social’’ que l'on peut interpréter comme ''ce que je crois susceptible de m'amener des voix dans les urnes''... une laïcité qui a glissé vers un refus doctrinaire de Dieu (d'où le comique involontaire de l'expression ''chrétien de gauche'')... et par la prééminence absolue de l'Etat… alors que la droite, convaincue qu'il faut qu'elle ait une théorie pour devenir comparable à la Gauche, met en avant (et en vrac) liberté, ordre, nation, tradition et famille…. Et si toutes deux évoquent la Fraternité, c'est collectivement réglementée à gauche et individuellement exerc��e à droite.

Autour de l'Ordre invoqué à Droite (“il faut sauver le monde tel qu’il est”), et du Changement, à Gauche (“on est dans le monde pour le transformer”), cette dualité théorique va devenir : une droite dite “conservatrice” qui se voit réaliste (tenir est mieux que courir)… une gauche qui pense que changement = progrès (progressiste ou utopiste ?)... puis une extrême-droite plutôt réactionnaire, qui pense que “c’était mieux avant''... et une extrême gauche qui se dit révolutionnaire mais qui est surtout dystopique. Et les adeptes du ‘’ni droite, ni gauche’’, qui n'a jamais débouché sur rien, n’y changeront rien : leur “ni-ni” est en vérité un “non-non”. Eux se rêvent “au centre”, sauf Bayrou, le nul qui veut les pousser à la place qui est la sienne : à gauche ! Les autres, après s'être fourvoyés un instant trop long, les rêvent ''enfin dehors, arrêtant de nuire''.

Ephémérement porté par le simplisme de cette non-idée et par la complicité coupable d'une Presse ringarde qui adore le faux-dieu “Changement”, le retour macronien du “ni droite, ni gauche” a voulu convaincre des esprits malléables ou gentils à en être naïfs, que la structure binaire du monde appartiendrait au passé et que le temps du cerveau bi-lobaire ayant structuré un monde binaire et bipolaire (qui fonctionne, honnêtement, pas si mal que ça !) était ringard : deux pôles, deux états, deux sexes, l'être et le néant… –et même le bien et le mal, sans compter les beaux fruits des progrès techniques et scientifiques qui avaient le temps d'être “digérés” au lieu d'être “forcés” comme on voudrait le faire maintenant… tout cela serait, d'après cette thèse sans épaisseur, démodé ? “Ils” l'affirment très fort, mais on n'est pas obligé d'adhérer à de telles sornettes !

Les grandes manœuvres des jours passés cherchent à nous égarer encore plus : celui qui nous a imposé pendant 7 ans tout ce contre quoi nous nous débattions avec l'énergie du désespoir, le ''méchant'', donc, se présente sous les traits de ce qu'il croit être un gentil –en réalité son clone ou peu s'en faut. ''Je suis oiseau, voyez mes ailes'', dit la chauve-souris, avant d'affirmer, les temps ayant changé : ''Qui fait l'oiseau ? C'est le plumage. Je suis Souris''. Et la Fontaine de conclure, avec 356 ans d'avance sur la conférence de presse de ce soir, 16 janvier 2024, que... plusieurs ont évité, en changeant d'écharpe, des dangers attendus. L'équation est simple : sept ans de liberté malfaisante pour deux ans de normalité apparente... et le tour est joué !

Le ''mini-Macron'' nouveau va nous servir, ''H 24'', un brouet pâlichon, soi disant ''de Droite'' : des discours sans action sur l'immigration. Mais le prix à payer sera énorme : une GPA ''éthique'' (volapük signé Attal, donc jamais défini), l'assassinat légal des vieux et des malades, l'IVG dans la Constitution, et autres drames-à-venir : on sait depuis hollande qu'un gouvernement de Gauche qui se rend compte qu'il ne maîtrise plus rien et qu'il est impuissant et (ou : parce que) sec, se réfugie dans le changement pour le changement en matière prétendue ''sociétale''. Et là, l'apport de la Droite ne peut être que dans une opposition frontale. On aurait lâché la proie pour l'ombre... que je ne serais pas surpris : ''Je suis oiseau... vive les rats !''
