French President Emmanuel Macron told one of the nation’s leading newspapers that he no longer considers the unvaccinated to be French citizens, and that his primary COVID-19 strategy is to continue to “piss them off” until they submit to his COVID-19 mandates.
The remark from Macron, delivered during an interview with French newspaper Le Parisien, has divided French politicians, and even has the country’s Communist Party candidate questioning Macron’s motives.
“I am not about pissing off the French people,” Macron told the readers of Le Parisien on Tuesday. “But as for the non-vaccinated, I really want to piss them off. And we will continue to do this, to the end. This is the strategy.”
He declared that “worst enemies” of “democracy” are “lies and stupidity,” then declared that his government is “putting pressure on the unvaccinated by limiting, as much as possible, their access to activities in social life.”
Macron’s government claims that 90% of its citizens are vaccinated. He promised to “reduce” this minority with further restrictions.

Wow......so he’s going Piss them off by Pissing on them......
Robespierre pissed 'em off too.
May he be Sadat’d very, very soon.
Fascism returns to France.
That’s what autocrats do. “if you don’t comply with my dictates, I’ll make your life a living hell”
And this is the reason why we are only supposed to be subject to laws passed by the people through their legislatures, passing through two bodies of varying sizes and approved by a third individual.
So that we are not ruled by decree, but instead govern ourselves.
But Macron does not believe these things.
Bet there are a few guillotines getting the cobwebs dusted off.
Macron DID SAY he was going to rule like Jupiter (Zeus)…
His motto is: “We’re not happy until you’re not happy.”
Ironic. He is indirectly declaring himself to be the worst enemy of democracy.
France’s infection rate is more than triple its highest rate when no one was vaccinated. It’s about five or six times what it was for most of the pre-vaccine months.
Macron the Moron.
Invoking nationalism is strange.
France ain’t no nation.
You cannot invoke nationalism when you belong to a so-called union which dictates every aspect of public life.
They are well trained in pissing off the “Not French” which is one reason I’ve never bothered to go there.
How “Vichy” of him.
Pierre Laval was more than happy to hand over those “Not French” Jews to the Nazis.
Talk about putting yourself above the people..
Macron when you can pass a 5th grade science exam at least, before declaring anyone dumb.
Actually Macron used the French word “emmerde” which is a lot worse than “piss off.” It more correctly means “f##k with” or “sh*t on.”
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
