Interesting summary of the French protests - however I found this a little confusing, Stan.
There seems to be a lot of action by both far-right and far-left groups stirring up misinformation and violence in France, mixed with legitimate concerns over pension age etc.
Is your argument: of course the French are upset - the elites are harming them by forcing acceptance of refugees, public health measures such as Covid lockdowns and bird flu culls, and climate change regulations - these are all causing them harm? And other countries should also be active against government over-reach?
I fear government under-reach in certain sectors is more harmful to the broader population here in Australia, particularly concerning redistribution of sovereign wealth; Labor has made no attempt to improve below-poverty line unemployment payments, there is very little tax on the multinational firms reaping billions from extractive industries here, and little attempt to address the core cause of inflation - excess corporate profit.
