    Scary isn't it? The stuff the mainstream news including Fox ain't letting you know about.

    That would be dangerous if you caught ideas about justice and globalist plans. You might stop believing the B.S. and then riot in the street.

    Don't you feel like an animal in cage being fed the same stuff day in and day out?

    You sir should take the blue pill or get another hobby. Think of all the sweaters you could knit.

    They are protesting globalism and the loss of French culture through immigration.

    Get educated folks.

    Arent they protesting higher taxes for native residents?

    They are/were protesting a higher fuel/carbon tax to encourage people to drive less-polluting vehicles. The yellow vests were initially peaceful protests, but then it snowballed and was tied to other social issues leading to demands that French President Macron resign, at which point things got ugly.

    As for the police cracking down on them, that appears to be exactly what they are doing...

    Yes, my understanding is that the yellow jacket riots are supported by 80% of the French people and that they are a loose coalition of people that are against a long list of things - including the tax increases, immigration and the free stuff that's being given to them at the tax payor's expense, etc. So, mostly conservativish but there are also demands that are more on the socialist side.

    For my part, no I'm not ready to riot. Not yet. I would rather give the system a chance to work - there are things in motion apparently to fix the corruption and downward spiral of our country but we need to seem them come to fruition and begin working. After all, we've had a tax break (minor as it is) and we are defending our southern borders against the influx of migrants fleeing the south American economic storm now under way. So, I'm in a "wait and see" mode.

    I'm sure the system won't work, it wasn't desegned to. As for riots ,there is still to much talk and very few who will actually do anything.

    Reading about it in places I do.

    The hazard vest are a brilliant idea. French motorists are required by LAW to carry two in the vehicle. In a way, following the law as they protest.

    It also creates a zebra affect among the crowd. The first color you notice. The identity of the person is second. What they were wearing, the face. All you notice is the bright vest. One could be offensive and instantly blend back into the crowd.

    There's some serious tacticians behind this.

    Oh the system as designed was working... the problem is that it's been degraded and bastardized. So yeah, it's going to be a long shot for it to work...

    Maybe before the 1900's but not since. Once the US got into world wars and got it's governments head to big for it's people to control the power rush and money was just to great. The US government had europe under their thumb all that was left to do was squash the American citizens control on government and it was all over. We will see if the American people stand up or not, but I don't think just the vote will be enough as the government controls that too .

    I agree with that. However, I don't think its quite time for revolution. Getting close, yes but any sane person understands that revolution entails a lot of bloodshed and overall suffering. The way things are going, it does look like we're heading that way but we need to exhaust all means possible before going there. I'm just as mad about the state of affairs as the next patriot and ready to stand with them if needed but lets not get ahead of things...

    After seeing the events of today in Europe, it is clear to me that the yellow jacket movement is indeed a revolution. It's already escalating and getting violent. Things there are much further along than we have seen here and I don't blame the people for taking action and indeed, I applaud their restraint and cool headed strategy. I hope they prevail. It will send a clear message to the elite all over the world that they really don't have as much control as they have assumed...

    The problem with using the term revolution is that the word has many different meanings, which is why I just shake my head every time someone says revolt.

    From a practical standpoint, the violent overthrow of a peaceably elected first world government is something most don’t realize is a pretty difficult thing to do.

    You’re talking a 21st century Washington’s Army of the Potomac kind of difficult.

    Gunz are icky.
    IMO, an issue here in the U.S. is a simple matter of geographic space.
    We're too spread out.
    In France the population density is much higher and denser. 30 miles there is considered a huge distance.
    Here its, pffft, lunch drive to get a burger.
    To get enough people together to actually mount something like what is happening in France would be difficult at best.
    Most folks here wouldn't do it because they feel it is way over there and doesn't have anything to do with them.
    In Europe, that stuff is right down the road so to speak.
    Would you drive 1200 miles away to Washington D.C. to burn things down?
