Smells like concern trolling.
They already got a bunch of temporary concessions. They are demanding more and they will get it as long as they are persistent.

I literally am just trying to educate myself by asking some questions. If anything I'm helping get the word out about said concessions.

Oh. Well like any popular uprising there are factions protesting anything and everything.
The straw that broke the camels back to start the protest was that they were instituting numerous taxes meant to control greenhouse gas emissions in compliance with the bullshit climate change treaty they negotiated with the world. This was the straw that broke the camels back largely because France has been economically stangant for like the last 10 years. While the US went into recession and then recovered and has boomed back in the past couple years, France has been stuck at like 1% growth that whole time. Point being, that initially and for most people, the protests are about economics.
Many protesters are also protesting globalism and the EU because France has simultaneously been importing hordes of niggers and muslims and handing them piles of cash for doing nothing while having the economic stagnation that I listed above. Imagine busting your ass in the same job with little career progression or wage increases for a decade while your country imports people who are as different from native french people as there are anywhere on the planet and are as useless to your country as any immigrants that can be found, and just hands them a weekly check for nothing when you are working your ass off to earn yours. Some of the protesters are actually globalists and socialists so their demands are to give their pet niggers more free shit and have the government raise wages for everyone, because they believe in magic and think this will fix the economic stagnation.
As to what they have accomplished, France has temporarily postponed all those climate change taxes and have tried to propagandize the protests as just simple tax protests and "they don't like taxes and are just being greedy with their money so we're just going to be nice and soften the blow a little bit by postponing, but really the protesters are just concerned about taxes." Those continuing to protest want the temporary things made permanent, they want macron out of office, and many want all kinds of other stuff but like I said earlier there's not as much consensus as those other things as there are on these two.

Remember this - Whoever controls the NPCs controls everything.
The media downplay any and all opposition to the government. They try to make it seem like only a few far right racist extremists oppose the government and their policies, while the vast majority support the government and their policies.
NPCs follow the herd. They align themselves with "the good guys" so that they aren't called evil (in this case evil is far right racist extremists).
The protesters could gain control of the herd by saying the people are the good guys and the government is evil (corrupt dictators).
The key to gaining control of the herd (or control of the NPCs) is to appear like you're the larger group; you're the good guy group. The government and media control every word the NPCs read and hear on the tv and online and use them to try to appear large and the amount of protesters to appear small. The protesters are trying to appear like they're larger by literally being large amounts of people.
What are the protesters accomplishing? - The protests are showing that the opposition to the government is larger than what the media and government say. And they're attempting to appear large enough to turn the NPCs to their side. That and they're trying to make people believe that they're the good guys, and the government are the bad guys.

everything thats bright flourescing yellow and comes out of france is suspicious.
the french been rioting for centuries, its just part of their french culture. in their minds living in france is one big "french revolution". thats their identity. they want to rebel, thats why they are taking in the most niggers. because they have been brainwashed to. the rulers gave them their protest, it is to control and steer the french mind and keep the fake culture of Revolution alive. thats how they are controlled. without the fake yellow protest, the french might actually wake up, and come to their senses.
every year the french riot, and start fires, thats the french patriots etiquette. now the news covers it and feeds the riots, because the french need to be kept under control, its very simple. it wouldnt be a bad thing if anything came of their protests, but it never does, this is just dog treats for the dumb french masses.

he' worried enough to keep an escape helicopter ready. The yellow vests have massive support, it's not left wing or right wing, its a mix of the entire population. Macron is feeling the heat, he has no support, people want him gone and the riots will not stop until he goes. Remember the news in France are not reporting this accurately (surprise surprise) the numbers on the street are a LOT more than the MSM says it is, the yellow vests are gaining support all through Europe and even USA to a certain extent.

But is the goal to storm the palace so to speak, are they going to literally do anything or just walk around the streets until Macron steps down? Not trying to make light of what they're doing, but is the spirit of this a protest or a revolution?

They dont want to speak, its more of a revolution, They want him gone and possibly give him the gadaffi treatment if they can get their hands on him, He's under serious threat.
