The Yellow Vest anti-government movement started in France on November 17, when over 300,000 people across France protested a carbon tax on fuel that French President Emmanuel Macron touted as evidence of France's leadership when it comes to mitigating climate change.
The Yellow Vest protests quickly evolved into a general anti-government movement - with hundreds of thousands of angry French citizens taking to the streets for ten straight weeks of mostly peaceful protests marked with pockets of violence, looting and mayhem.
What's more - the movement has gone worldwide - with perhaps the most notable protests outside France taking place in Belgium, where Brussels riot cops have dealt with week after week of protesters blocking oil depot and throwing hard objects at them.

On December 8, Belgians attempted to breach a riot barricade while calling for the resignation of Prime Minister Charles Michel, resulting in around 100 arrests.
And while most of the protests outside of France happened last month, this is a good list to note where discontent is mounting.
Bulgaria: Yellow Vests began protesting the same weekend as the French movement - coming out in force on November 16 to protest in front of parliament and demand the resignation of the government.
Canada: Yellow Vest protests have taken place in more than a dozen cities across Canada - largely campaigning against the carbon price, Canada's participation in the UN's Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, the Trudeau administration and other issues.
Croatia: Croatians came out in force on December 15, gathering in Ban Jelacic Square.
Egypt: An Egyptian A lawyer was arrested and jailed for 15 days after he posted a picture of himself wearing a Yellow Vest in support of the French protests.
Finland: Finns came out in force in mid-December as well, gathering in front of Parliament in opposition to the UN's Global Migration pact.
Germany: Marching in solidarity with the French, German Yellow Vests similarly came out against the UN migration pact.
Iraq: Yellow Vests demonstrated in Basra, Iraq on December 5 to protest poor job opportunities among other things. They were reportedly fired upon with live ammunition by police.
Ireland: Hundreds of people gathered in the center of Dublin to protest the "perceived failures of the Government."
Israel: Yellow Vests held a rally at the Azrieli Centre Mall in Tel Aviv on December 14.

Italy: There have been several ongoing Yellow Vest protests in Italy over the last several months, with some protesting the government's hard-line stance against illegal migrants, and other pro-government activists protesting against the EU. In January, Italy's ruling government came out in support of the Yellow Vest movement, which AFP noted was "extremely rare for European leaders to back anti-government protesters in a fellow member state."
Netherlands: The Dutch joined the party at the beginning of December, blocking roads, roundabouts and tollbooths.
Pakistan: Hundreds of engineers came out in December to protest government services and pay.
Its about time people get fed up already. If anyone hasn't noticed the citizenry has been treated like complete dog shit by their governments and these (((corporate interests))).

Gotta infiltrate fast
Brody Sullivan
They can if they want, but when the first shots are fired and world war 3 finally pops off. We will see what (((they))) are made of and if (((they))) pull the trigger. If (((they))) can't, well (((they))) can't hide by labeling and (((they))) will be dealt with as traitorous cowards and that goes for the rest of you guys. War is coming, fight with us or be killed by us. Simple as that and I am not saying this to be edgy, its just how its going to be.

Britain: About 30 people donned yellow vests to protest the politicians trying to sabotage brexit
Not sure whether to be happy or sad about that. More people in the UK voted for brexit than have voted for any other thing in British history.
Charles Thompson
Listen ok you stupid goyim. The yellow vests are just an illusion , they do not exist. Ask yourself have you seen any on the MSM?. There you go . They are just made up by nazis to try and overthrow caring and compassionate govts around the world. Macron is just helping his old buddies the Rothschilds get their plan going for all kinds of taxes to protect the environment after what the dirty filthy White Europeans have done to it for years.

Oh wow, that bait is of high quality.

What in the world is zerohedge and why should it be considered a credible news source instead of one person's skewed opinion?
Matthew Rogers
Zerohedge is a news aggregation site. They source all their mirrored articles. Yes, all those articles are mirrored. There is no "Tyler" there, its an anonymous owner of the news site. Its got thousands of different sources it aggregates articles from.
Bullshit. Nothing "un-American" about exposing truth to lies.
William Edwards
Alphabet agencies infiltrate any kind of anti-government movement in the US and sabotage it from within so nothing in the US.
Parker Hill
Take a hike, buddy.
Cooper Foster
I expect that is being done, right here and now, trying to discredit all the REAL news. For those that don't know, news was intended to expose corruption, make people a bit uncomfortable and step on some toes. Thats normal. Thats real news.
God there has been nothing more delicious than seeing Zig Forumstards getting cucked on thinking yellow jackets was "DUH DAY OF DUH ROPE" nazi masturbation fantasy never EVER :)
lmao, either skip the apple logo or have a bunch of them shaped into an S

Ever wanted to kill yourself? Ever decided that martyrdom would be better? Want to make the world a better place? Here's where you need to go– archive.li/o9TU2 IT'S NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF IMPORTANT PEOPLE.
And it really is incoherent and has been from the start. It's angry people from the far-left, and far-right, anarchists, libertaians all wearing yellow vests and breaking shit. There are pro-migrant yellow vests and anti-migrant yellow vests, and pro and anti for any number of issues.
It will die down like Occupy Wall St did because eventually people get tired of breaking stuff or occupying stuff without any overall direction or end in sight.
So not yellow vests. Some kike controlled, counter oppo wearing yellow vests. Got it.
Mason Bell
Satan please source your claims of yellowvests being anti-government in Italy. Over the past year the only protests in Italy that have popped up have been an impotent dozen or less good goyim in a giant and otherwise empty square.

REVOLUTION!!!!! it is time for global cleansing - world war X.

Muslim Brotherhood dumped freedom of speech in Egypt thanks to "democracy"
Enough people can vote for really bad ideas. I'll take my constitutional republic any day of the week, as long as we can manage to protect and keep it as such. There is a lot of support in the U.S. for dumping those freedoms, and it is entirely on the left.
