These things come spike, and go. Before this Yellow Vest thing there was Occupy before that Greece before that the Arab Spring which gave us barbaric fundamentalist regimes.
No coherent plan just a spasm of rage.
If I were 16 or even a twenty something I could see the excitement.
Rages like this are so easily co-opted. Like Occupy and other unfocused tantrums this will vanish.
Occupy at least didn't have nationalist or neo-Nazi wings.
The only recent movement that was worthwhile, and actually achieved their goals was the Woman's Pussy Hat Revolt. This against the election of #45. In two years they put 110 woman in Congress.
Occupy vanished at Spring break. The Arab Spring gave us Libyan Slave markets.
This Vest bunch will just leave behind burnt shops streets homes cars, and resentments. I'll change my mind if they elect people like the Women did.
Till then just vandalism.
Btw the Woman had million strong demos,...they didn't burn anything, and took back the House.
They took back the House of Representatives of the United States of America from bigots crooks, and misogynists.
All this, and they didn't burn a thing.
