That's not the point. The point is: Ukraine is a normal country, nor a fascist hellhole nor a perfect Paradise. Their national symbol is also used by its far right, today and during the WWII; just like all other countries under the Nazi rule in Europe. And just like all other countries under the Nazi rule in Europe, they continued to use their national symbols after the WWII.
Bad choice of words, you're right ^^. Science and religion work together like two workers on an assembly line. One takes care of screwing, the other of nailing; if the nailer tries to screw with his hammer, it's not going to work... when people read the Bible to look for biological or astronomical truths, that doesn't work either.
The Church (we should even say "the Churches") is a very complex structure. However you're partly right, and as an institution, the Catholic Church tends to be quite conservative, but it's still better than most Evangelical Churches, which are against science altogether...
Still, I have read an article (I can search it if you are interested) that showed that 30% of professional scientists were affiliated to a religion. It's far less than the general population, but it's not nothing; religion and science can work together, as long as both stay in their line.
On pourrait meme diviser les médailles en fonction du fric, amha on verrait pleins de petits pays en tête de ce classement.
Ça ça marche moyen. Le Luxembourg, pays au plus grand PIB par habitant, n'a pas eu de médaille, quelle que soit sa couleur depuis 1952. La grande chance de médaille de cette année, Jeanne Lehair, championne d'Europe en 2023, a du abandonner parce que son vélo était cassé. (Mais pour être honnête elle avait pas fait une course de natation folichonne).
The article is quite good, I just disagree with this sentence :
Proof of this came just a few days after the NFP’s victory, when she co-signed an op-ed calling on the left to compromise with Macron so that a centrist majority could emerge — in other words, to betray left-wing voters
That wasn't at all the idea of this op-ed. It was a call for concessions in order to govern, not to create a majority with macronists. For some, any concession is a compromission…
My country isn't a two-party system, but I have often to vote for parties I hate to to prevent the extreme right from coming to power. Fuck I even did that a few weeks ago. If I were American I would vote for the Dems, but I would criticize them harshly, as I criticize harshly the parties I have to vote for here.
