Summary
Antifa And Nationalists Fighting Side by Side Against Macron shows that the president of France has screwed this one up pretty badly. To rally the middle class, nationalists, and antifa to riot against you takes some serious failure.
But the reality is that even though you have elements of the far left and right in the "yellow jackets" protest, the majority of those in the french fuel protest are middle class citizens. I'm told by a journalist in France that these are people you don't normally see protesting.
So why is this? Why have people started to stand up when they normally bow out? And is it true what some are claiming, that this is a rebuke of globalism?

| 0:00.0 | France seems to be always protesting, so when I heard that there were riots in France, |
| 0:04.3 | I kinda said, yeah, what else is new? But now we are entering the third week of what's called |
| 0:08.8 | the yellow jackets protests which have devolved into riots. What's interesting about this moment |
| 0:14.8 | is that some activists are describing it as a civil war, while one journalist told me it's quite |
| 0:19.7 | literally the revolution. Now I don't think it's literally the revolution. But you actually have |
| 0:24.5 | reports that the far left and the far right are actually fighting side by side. That was probably |
| 0:31.3 | the weirdest thing I read. But on top of that, a local journalist tells me that the people who are |
| 0:36.8 | riding are white middle class people who normally don't protest. So what's happening in France? |
| 0:43.3 | Some say it's a rebuke of globalism. Others say it's nothing to do with that. It's simply |
| 0:47.8 | Macron is an elitist and they're challenging him. So today, let's take a look at what's going on |
| 0:52.4 | in France. Is this a civil war? Is it a revolution? And why are the far left and the far right |
| 0:58.6 | actually fighting side by side? But before we get started, please head over to patreon.com |

| 1:22.6 | but then I intend to be on the road nearly 24-7. Images have been circulating for the past weeks |
| 1:28.1 | as we enter the third week of protests where we can just see fires and images of straight up riding. |
| 1:33.9 | This looks like a truck that was flipped over and burned. What's crazy about these protests aside |
| 1:39.2 | from the wide range of political beliefs is that the riding is happening on chants elisets, |
| 1:44.0 | which is basically time square in Paris. Could you imagine mass rioting from across all political |
| 1:50.1 | spectrums in time square? That's kind of what it's like. Riots are continuing right now, |
