The propaganda war on the gilets jaunes
05/10/2019

The real cause of this indifference is an awareness, at least on some level, of who the gilets jaunes are, their place in society and what they are fighting against. Many of the yellow vests are in the same demographic as the 'deplorables' in Trump's America and the 'gammon' of Brexit Britain, who are widely loathed by the political and media establishment. Not only that, the gilets jaunes are fighting against an undemocratic, neo-liberal order that is backed by all wings of the generally pro-EU establishment.
