Yellow vest protests

Let's see what there is on YouTube.  I expect tons. Things that are recent, not weeks or months old.

If we had real news services and not curated propaganda then we would see this covered every day. We'd have explained to us that many French police have joined the protestors, and the riot police we are  seeing are another European force brought in to crush protests that can be applied to any European country. We'd have explained that we are seeing nationalism re-emerge and with Brexit we're seeing united Europe coming apart at the seams. We are watching in real time Macron lose it as president but first become something else less attractive. But it's too similar to Trump being elected in America, except a lot uglier, so it cannot be shown to the extent that it should. Too dangerous for themselves to feed by covering it.

So we don't see it. I'm guessing here. Because I don't watch American or British news anymore for being sick of hearing all those people. I could be wrong, maybe they do show it, I'd have to watch them to know, and I gave up on all that a long time ago.

It's like that strange thing that happened with cardboard.

At work I handled so many cardboard boxes that my fingertips developed an aversion reaction. An actual physical response. Just touching it sucked out all the moisture in my fingertips and the sensory nerves sent the very strong signal to stop touching cardboard. Like the cardboard contains poison that I must not touch. But I had to keep touching boxes. I had to open them, and stack them, and deliver them and cut them up and fold them and dispose of them. They were coming and going every hour of every day. So I bought these really cool thin leather driving gloves and that fixed the problem of touching cardboard. Plus they looked super cool with anything I wore, open shirt and jeans, sport jacket, or suit and tie. The gloves became part of my image. Picture it. At a bank. Now the same thing with news. Exactly the same.
