The funny thing is that we have politicians here in Australia that complain about "woke" environmentalists standing up for the environment by sitting down on the road. They're trying to have them labelled as terrorists for simply sitting down in the street.

Meanwhile in France, Farmers who are angry about stopping of diesel concessions are setting things on fire, blocking streets with tractors and dumping manure and dirt into the street to block public servants responsible into buildings.

The point is two fold, French have always done protests better. And the west conservatives have a massive raging boner for eroding ones rights to protest.
