French Yellow Jackets may have won the day

French Yellow Jackets may have won the day (if you will) but what exactly did they win? Were they consistently protesting against taxation or merely one particular tax? Were they consistently protesting against government power, or merely those in power? Were not the protests nothing more than temporary political manipulation, however grandiose the notions of wresting government power for some misguided common good, when in fact it is once again some or most forcefully controlling others with or without their consent? Were not the protests conveniently silent therefore excusing popular Isms though empirically and clearly the causes ill effecting the economy as well the sole ethical Ism; Individualism.

Consequently, no real change at all.

This movement was (and is) as unprincipled as others like Occupy Wall Street. There is no genuine concern economically nor ethically, it is the impatient, expedient use of force, in this case government power, as the necessary, presumptuous means towards preferential though quite arbitrary ends. In this way, such activism is using the same sort of coercion as those they protest for both sides will highly favor their own prerogatives while disregarding, trampling even molesting other individuals' person, preference and possession (i.e. life, liberty and property, or in a word, Individualism). Strangely and often in situations like this, both sides erroneously claim to represent the people per some conjured morality or mandate.

To redundantly point out, no real change at all.

Come let us Reason (Is 1:18). Peace is always a Choice (Mt 5:9).
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath (2 Tm 2:15 / Cl 3:23).
