Our rulers never thought they would see this revolution

Looking so much at money and accepted status, talking only to each other, the elites could not see the coming storm.

“One illustration of this cultural divide is that most modern, progressive social movements and protests are quickly endorsed by celebrities, actors, the media and the intellectuals. But none of them approve of the gilets jaunes. Their emergence has caused a kind of psychological shock to the cultural establishment. It is exactly the same shock that the British elites experienced with the Brexit vote and that they are still experiencing now, three years later.”

“The cities themselves have become very unequal, too. The Parisian economy needs executives and qualified professionals. It also needs workers, predominantly immigrants, for the construction industry and catering et cetera. Business relies on this very specific demographic mix. The problem is that ‘the people’ outside of this still exist. In fact, ‘Peripheral France’ actually encompasses the majority of French people.”

It is the same in the US of A, in all Western countries. The elites want specific kinds of workers, based on the hired help employed by their parents and grandparents. Colored women to clean; colored men for landscaping lawns, golf courses and corporate “campuses;” slightly colored men (subservient Indians and Pakistanis) for IT; young Scandinavian or German women to watch rich babies. These specific kinds of workers live within the walls of the cities, but not close to the elite neighborhoods.

Is there a peaceful answer to the yellow vest “problem?” Probably not.
