Going by social media reactions, I'm seeing these street-blocking protests getting praises from both people on the left and the right. I'm trying to decipher what I can by translating French articles on the matter but I'm still not entirely sure what the ideology behind this protest is.

I mean, going against a colonialist government is always based, but I'd feel a little icky supporting the movement if it's chuds throwing a tantrum that they're forced to pay their workers living wages, or can't dump pigshit into waterways or something.

can't hold that against them like I would the Dutch farmers protesting immigration and methane reduction efforts.

I think the impulse to pull up the ladder is shit, but I still ultimately sympathize with people who see themselves being squeezed off their land with sharecroppers and one sided regulation.

In both cases, the struggle is finding a broad base of class consciousness. The "left and right agree" shit is illustrative of a common denominator at the working class. It's the ideology that divides people, but material condition pierces the contradiction.
