Despite the call, even from those who have long fanned the flames for a vile attempt at political recovery, the Yellow Vests do not want to give up the last stand before the Christmas truce.
A new “ascent” to Paris and local demonstrations are planned.
In Nice, a parade is organized on the Promenade des Anglais and in the city center.
The President of the Republic’s speech and the announced concessions have not slowed down the self-proclaimed Yellow Vests “the people” who give free rein to their imagination, hatred, and neuroses, with no restraint.
And why not, after all? The Internet is not burdened by the “superego”. Furthermore, the media (including the rolling news channels that feed on it and nourish it) surround the Yellow Vests with flattery but remain deaf to the violence of this movement’s initiatives.
The legitimate anger that has poured out onto the roundabouts has attracted a bunch of loudmouths ready to say anything to exist. The problem is that they are being listened to. But more seriously, their delusions are gradually making their nest in France, slowly becoming normalized like one slips into a landscape.
Nothing surprising with a spontaneous and multifaceted movement. Among the Yellow Vests, power lies on the roundabouts.
However, it would be wrong to draw a moral critique from this analysis. Dissatisfaction, after all, is a driving force. Depending on the orientation given to it, it stimulates personal ambition or collective claim.
Epicurus’s philosophy provides a simple and objective concept of absolute well-being, whose absence defines poverty: “Not to be hungry, not to be thirsty, not to be cold; he who has that, and the hope of having it in the future, can fight even with Zeus for happiness.”
It must be said that in his time there was no Facebook.
