    Note that the French protests were initially caricatured as "right-wing" simply because people didn't like a particular tax, which was apparently regressive anyway. Opposing a tax isn't inherently right-wing. Just another tactic to delegitimize rowdy, bothersome "populists"

        The ridiculous attempt to associate the fuel tax hike with climate change is just laughable. Especially when the primary goal was to replace revenue lost as a result of a tax cut bonanza for the filthy rich. And it gets worse when you consider Macron's assault on public transport

        Wouldn't it be refreshing if, for a change, actions were judged by whether they were right or wrong rather than "right" or "left" -- at least for the people, if not, better yet, in principle? @SoniaMRobaey

        Most tax increases are left-wing, ***especially*** taxes to fight global warming.

        Nothing is ever about one tax...unless that tax is the one that finally "breaks the camels back" 🤔"I'm mad as hell...and I'm not going to take it anymore." #TheNetwork

        Populist is just a term used to denigrate people the media don't like. How come Bernie, the most popular senator is never called a populist 🤔

        This is a referendum in the streets about neoliberal austerity being marketed as a remedy for climate change.

        This is just an attempt to defeat the revolution by stuffing it back into its tidy culture war categories. If we want real change, we have to let the labels drop.

        "Far-right" is actually old-fashioned now because the term has been so overused that it's inefficient. The media are now blaming the "ultraright" since day 1. Fun fact: a far-left leader was arrested today for inciting violences and for possessing literal weapons.

        Protests very much underplayed here in U.S. I was gonna say a “blackout” by media here, but I did see a respectable report about it on Fox just now. Still underplayed. In Brussels there was an attempt to storm the EU headquarters.

        "populism" is a bad word in the eyes of Eurocrats, which is not a surprise, as almost no one in Europe cared about EU leadership. Now people do, and not in a good way.
