normally movements take awhile to build up support

but this is just standard strategy dude and its backed up by empirical evidence of the CIA's history

anyone who has studied american foreign policy in any depth finds this as standard analysis

Clearly you've read and studied far more on this than I have - I can't really comment much on most of that

Just what I've been saying above

And while US interventionist history makes it more plausible, I think you're putting too much weight on how much the US "influenced" these protests

another thing you guys should notice is how the HK protests are all over the news

but the yellow vest protests arent

i disagree with that tbh

i'd like the yellow vests to get much more notice

yes but why do you think they arent getting the attention

media narratives

Lol there are some pretty big differences between them

doesn't suit the EU empire

exactly

EU empire?

you live in europe?

the EU ....

yep

kk idk how its covered there

the EU dont like bad news about their great EU dream

so idk

Pretty sure the HK protests have far more participants, far more danger, and far greater stakes.

tbh thats true

yellow vests are smaller in numbers

but i would like to them highlight it

as its been going on for ages

And why wouldn't protests against shitty ass China and for democracy gain more attention?

yea but the yellow vest movement is/was still massive

yes it is

and there was nothing competing for attention at the time

I agree yellow vests need more attention

well i guess its because china "bad"

and EU good

^

now you get it

But can't blame the media for focusing on what people are most interested in. There isn't some conspiracy here

yea but they do like to spread certain messages

not in a conspirator way

just by their nature
