A French friend told me there are organizations that handle the logistics of staging protests. Evidently, most protests we see in France start with someone getting a permit that designates a specific area for the protest to be held. The riot police then set up a perimeter around that area.

The protests we see over retirement are now are out of control. And, I think seeing how large they are getting, more people are attracted to join.

Also, keep in mind the U.S. Government staged a false flag on January 6, 2021 and have been holding protesters without trial for two years. That has a very chilling effect on mass demonstrations if you are a conservative minded person.
