Going by social media reactions, I’m seeing these street-blocking protests getting praises from both people on the left and the right. I’m trying to decipher what I can by translating French articles on the matter but I’m still not entirely sure what the ideology behind this protest is.

I mean, going against a colonialist government is always based, but I’d feel a little icky supporting the movement if it’s chuds throwing a tantrum that they’re forced to pay their workers living wages, or can’t dump pigshit into waterways or something.
