I smell the distinct stench of globalism. WTF? And pollution getting worse? It's better than ever. I think someone is hijacking legitimate protests.

I can't agree with you here. I think it is not so much an "ism" as people fighting for what is right for people. Maybe where you live pollution is better, but in a lot of places (including Paris) it is worse. It also depends on how you define pollution: do you mean just air pollution/smog? There are cities where the air quality is actively dangerous. But if you include the industrial/chemical and other contaminations of our water, food supply, soil, it has indeed gotten much worse.

In the US, look for instance at the exponential increase in pounds per annum of glyphosate alone, not to mention 2,4-D and all kinds of other "approved" chemicals that are at the root of so much debilitating human disease.

They are actively protesting against Macron-style globalism, imo, and the elitist erosion of everything that keeps the rest of us healthy, well, and sane.
