Great thread debunking the hysterical propaganda smearing anti-establishment Yellow Vests as the work of "Russian bots." These mass movements are driven by the very real & very large human costs of carbon taxes, mass immigration, & many other elite leftist & neocon policies.https://twitter.com/Recursion_Agent/status/1071734446959849472 …

The French protesters aren't protesting against a carbon tax, they're rightly protesting against government lowering taxes on the rich and raising taxes on everyone else.

Carbon taxes in developed nations by their very nature disproportionately hurt working class and rural populations, because they are a tax on tech they depend on. Seemingly despite that (really because of that) leftists have promoted and rightists opposed such taxes.

Macron eliminated the carbon tax on Dec. 4. The protests are still continuing.

It was delayed, not eliminated. Stalling tactics hoping they would go away and go back to being good little servants.
