I did acknowledge that there was influence (that goes both ways). But saying one stems from the other is still wrong, and I rest my case: the US are not the center of the world. There was a world before, and there will be one after its collapse, whether you like it or not.

If we're talking about etymology, the term "left-wing" did indeed originate from French politics and designated political movements by where members sat in the French National Assembly. So, not originally American as you stated. But the etymology aspect is not really all that interesting.

In terms of ideology, placing americans at the origin of everything is revisionism. Left-wing ideology is mostly descended from the thought of mostly European philosophers from the Age of Enlightenment.

I can imagine a mutual game of influence that goes both ways, but to claim that Americans invented it all is a bit of a stretch.

Can I get some of what you're smoking please?

You know the United States are not the center of the universe, right?

Turronius.

I could have had it worse. Imagine the baconiuses and the asparagius in the room.

Charlie Kirk, who told his audience to post bail for Paul Pelosi's attacker, is not a radical? Sure, troll.

No data is better than shitty data more often than not.

As a matter of fact, there can still be pollution from things such as volcanoes.

We just make it worse by sheer volume.

T'as des sources pour tes affirmations sur la voiture électrique?

Je prends le bus pour aller bosser tous les matins, donc je comprends et soutiens l'idée de privilégier les transports en commun. J'utilise assez peu la bagnole (que je loue en occasion) mais il m'avait semblé que la voiture électrique était moins polluante (pas seulement grâce à l'énergie utilisée, mais aussi grâce à la réduction d'émission de particules liées au freinage) qu'un véhicule équivalent en thermique.

Pour l'investissement dans les transports en commun, hors des grandes agglomérations, c'est quand même assez compliqué. Évidemment, ça pourrait suffir pour 90% des trajets (et encore, faut vraiment pas être pressé!), mais il y a un 10% comme aller dans une ville desservie par rien ou ce n'est tout simplement pas viable. Dans mon cas, je ne ferai pas 20 km aller en vélo après les heures de boulot pour me rendre chez mon cousin pour l'aider à rénover sa maison parce qu'il n'y a aucun transport en commun de disponible.
