People don't organize unless there is a wealthy benefactor behind them that can fund it. I would bet good money that behind the French riots was a Steve Bannon, RFK Jr or whatever Europe's version of those are. Its impossible to grass roots anything in today's world. It's like thinking you can walk into a chess tournament and clean house. You're competing with people for attention in a space where you're out gunned. The internet only looks like it's fuelled by grassroots movements. It's all bullshit. The vast majority of it is controlled by powerful people with lots of money competing for their interests
