Like the Yellow Vests in France, they appear to be protesting against the laws of economics.

However, they do appear to be protesting more effectively than anything we ever do in the US.

Well, it =was= a peaceful and stable Muslim country (most are) but gross government corruption and incompetence have tipped it into well, I’m gonna go ahead and say -a Libya-style meltdown. But it will be faster because the nation is much smaller and an island.

It’s going to be bad.

Seems as if citizens of both Holland and Sri Lanka know how to make their voices heard when government oppression and government incompetence go too far...

Glad we (in the U.S.) don’t have to face those problems...🙄

> Well that ended well.

CNN reports that it was "A FIERY BUT MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTEST".

There’s probably a bunker already in Brussels at the NATO HQ. I know that there is a bunker with a huge vault like door in the NATO Military HQ in Mons. I’ve been in it.

Beginning stages of a revolution. To be followed by the Reign of Terror, imposition of an autarchic state under a dictator, and multiple purges, famines, etc. until order is restored and resources and population are brought back into balance.

On April 26, 2021, the president of Sri Lanka imposed a sweeping ban on all chemical fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. One year later, the former president is in exile after destroying the country’s agriculture and the nation’s economy.
