But while the fuel tax was the initial pain point, these protests aren’t really about gas; they are about French financial woes more generally. “ worry about the end of the world while we worry about the end of the month,” Jean-Marc Mourey, a gilet jaune in eastern France told Le Monde
The Paris Agreement isn’t working out so well for Paris. Protests and riots all over France. People do not want to pay large sums of money, much to third world countries (that are questionably run), in order to maybe protect the environment. Chanting “We Want Trump!” Love France.
-france's far right leader meetin with bannon as recently as 2 months ago:
Bannon, Trump's former advisor who has said being called racist is a "badge of honour", has visited various European countries in recent months in the hope of building a so-called populist revolt in European politics.
...this da most dangerous mfucka on da planet right now, fuck whatcha heard. he on some make da world medieval again shit!
“We both naturally despise the Chinese Communist Party,” Mr. Guo said in an interview last week, referring to Mr. Bannon. “That’s why we’ve become partners.”

dude is an empty shiny object that fascinates the 'liberal media' who are obsessed with narratives and want him to be some type of rasputin. he comes along and takes credit for movements being pushed by much more powerful people (like the trump campaign).
these various 'protests' around the globe...especially in europe...are co-opted and perpetuated by far-right organizations bankrolled by american/european billionaires and russia.
the fact that bannon is so public with it and tripping over himself to soak up as much attention for it as possible should let you know he possesses no power.
dude is out here hawking independent propaganda films that nobody is watching. hes a simple grifter like most of these folks. they are only as influential as their financier sugardaddies make them before they discard them and move on to their next sock puppet.

what happened in brazil was bankrolled by commodity traders and promoted by megarich evangelical church leaders who own influential tv stations and media properties.
these populists/fascists are just vessels for conservative plutocrats and oligarchs to loot countries dry while piedpipering 'the little man'.
what organization is bannon running right now? who are his employees/execs/board? how is he making/spending money? who is he buying off? what legislation is he lobbying? why does he have time to criss cross the globe like a college student and do selfies and interviews with far right personalities all day?
like does he even have a super pac?
do you ever ask yourself any of these questions? lol.

Kirk’s claim that people are chanting “We want Trump” appears to be based on a trending video of demonstrators appearing to mock the U.S. president. The video circulating on social media does not appear to have been filmed in Paris or even in France but in London, possibly during anti-Trump demonstrations earlier this year. Conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh also claimed that French demonstrators were chanting “We want Trump.”
