You are right about the establishment Left, but a lot of those currently protesting against Macron were also part of the massive wave of popular resistance against vaccine passports etc... See: https://winteroak.org.uk/2021/08/01/historic-day-of-resistance-in-france/

Macron represents the interests of international financiers, one being BlackRock whose offices the protesters surrounded. Something that would never occur in the US, as most don't even know there's massive relentless protests in France, or that BlackRock is an asset management firm which is actually a mobster operation.

The coverage on MSM and especially MSNBC regarding the demonstrations has been despicable.

Commentators like Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski who each earn much more than $8 million a year mock the protesters. If they happen to show a 30 second clip it'll be with hardly anyone demonstrating on the street. On Monday, Scarborough called the French workers lazy for objecting to an increase in pension age from 62 to 64 and then said they should be more like workers in China (a hint of things to come) as he sits with his spook panel each day warmongering, or advancing the official security state narrative

du jour.

Today, Mika celebrated her birthday with Richard Haass cheerleading for more death and destruction in Ukraine. And the two were so thrilled with McCarthy for telling a Russian reporter when in Israel that he fully supports the funding of the Ukraine war and said Russia should get out.

But I digress, the point being we're in a "global Empire" where nation-state rulers are viewed as management in a worldwide gangster enterprise where billions are just dismissed as collateral damage.
