Discussion was not around GPD per capita of France...It was about far right populism. Circle jerk around hazardous gdp per capita statistics cherry pickup. This is less than shitposting.
Good luck defending the efficiency of these far right populists pricks.
GDP per capita is frequently used as a gauge of a nation's quality of life, nevertheless it is flawed as it does not reflect individual income levels.
Especially for US or others inequalitarian countries...
If you can't get it, I am strongly suggesting you to stick on Cow Dung throwing economical studies and activities. roflflopflopflop - copter.
The discussion is about the rise of right wing populism in Europe and the root causes of such. You blame, without evidence, Russian/Chinese disinformation in Europe. I blame, with substantial evidence, the appalling track record of economic growth on the European continent. You believe that allowing the French right to govern will expose incompetence, I am demonstrating that your present government is objectively incompetent. It's interesting to note that one of the few ruling governments not punished was Italy's, one of the few countries where the populist right is already in charge. The Italians are clearly happy with their received end of the bargain.

It's not a surprise to me why the French public would be so unhappy with Macron's neoliberalism, he clearly hasn't delivered.
