Yellow Vests will fail though in delivering any kind of lasting change, I think

its just Occupy Wallstreet 2.0 with some intensification in terms of violence

there's zero true revolutionary potential in it

in fact, in the Spencer vs. Unruhe video, I found it hilarious that the other guy was presenting the Yellow Vests as some kind of revolutionary force even when Unruhe made pretty strong case for how they are not

they are not

never were, are not, never will be

The reason Yellow Vests aren't as successful as they should be is because the people that are rebelling aren't the people who are hit and oppressed the most.

The people that are hit the most can't afford to go out and protest.

When the conditions will be so dire that these people decide to riot, then there will be a revolution.

It's not like revolting to change the system or anything. They just want to let politicians know that they're not going to tolerate their BS

Yes, it doesn't represent the entirety of the French proletariat, nowhere near. And further than that, they more or less yearn to *go back* to the way things were, to the age of the good welfare state, etc. Its not actually about changing the system, its about restoring the system to what it used to be. Its not seeking to really change anything.

> It's not like revolting to change the system or anything. They just want to let politicians know that they're not going to tolerate their BS

Yeah but this is dumb specifically because the politicians that drowned them in bullshit were *specifically produced by the system they* ***refuse to challenge***

so I don't know what the big idea is

"Oooh aah look at me, a brave protestor"

well clap clap 👏 well done Shinji, congrats

you've changed jack shit

These types of protests are very important, since they present a problem for the government to solve, turning a vocal output into a physical one. I expect Macron to cuck and attempt to please the public as soon as possible in the nearest future.

Well

I mean

they achieve *something*

sure

near-term goals

but they can never solve the root problems because they are fundamentally uninterested in them

That is if it is viewed through the lens of reformism, which is acceptable but not shared by the majority.

Isn't the yellow vest mostly a middle class protest ?

Hm

what is even middle class

I was born middle class AMA

It's the class between the rich and the poor

I'd say it's from wagecucks to people that don't have a motor boat, a second house nor a giant collection of guns. At least in 🍔 🇺🇸

Hi

theres different layers of middle class

3 of them

It's more working class citizens from rural areas

It's people that make 45 to 75k a year

the middle class unironically doesn't exist

it's a capitalist lie

there are only the four castes

Thats flat out false

@Josh42A elaborate

is there a secret 5th caste?

There is a middle class I’m fucking in it lol
