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.
also cheap Ukranian agri imports too, right?
but also, France proper always does this when it loses part of its colonial empire, so I think its also about the Sahel in a way
