   Holy crap, this guy managed to turn an anti-elite and anti-establishment protest into something extremely gay and cringe. That's surely having a way with words.

     Among the protesters, there’s a whiff of revolution – as well as barbecued Wurst – in the air. Not a violent, far-right revolution, of course, but a peaceful, populist one – against the anti-democracy and delusions of the establishment. Across the West, we’re seeing people who actually serve society – the farmers, the truck drivers; the people who know where the food and fuel and electricity comes from – begin to rise up against the green elites, to gently remind their rulers that society cannot function without them. Even in Germany – for decades written off as the quiet, ‘consensual’ nation; the one that ‘doesn’t do populism’ – people have had enough. Those who have long been ignored and demonised, and told to make do with less for the sake of the planet, are parking their tractors and trucks on the elite’s lawn. Long may it continue.

     Machismo repeated this.
