Greg Palkot of Foxnews said that it was a mixture of lower middle class protesters and leftwingers. I believe that. Antifa makes no sense. There aren’t enough Antifa thugs to fill the streets of Paris like this. France has a big problem when it’s the middle class that revolts. This could be the end for Macron.

I think you are right.
What is interesting, that I haven’t read anywhere, it the UN (uh French) government didn’t react as near as strongly against the Muslim (uh immigrant) protesters in earlier riots.
Somebody posted on another article, on another site that in their view the government wasn’t as concerned about global warming as it was about obtaining the additional tax revenue generated by the diesel tax. That struck me as ringing true as well. I had never thought of it that way, I thought global warming was was mainly about control. The governments have pledged and spent too much money and are short on revenue. Global warming is just the boogieman to justify high taxes to the masses to save the world. It used to be witch doctors and now we have moved to multivariate analysis.

There doesn’t have to be. All they have to do is infiltrate and mix in with the yellow vests, do their damage and pursue their goals under cover of the larger movement.
