Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

These protests remind me of the Occupy protests in America years ago. Does no one else remember this? They were protesting pretty much the same things, high cost of living, shitty health care, taxes that only help the rich. It was a similar organic movement with lots of poor and middle class people with no distinct leader or ideology. They were just protesting a shitty situation. I would have gone but luckily I had a job, so I had to work and could not go protest.
There was this local radio station covering it, not owned by iheartradio which obviously said nothing. I remember them interviewing people. I remember the problem was that any time a leader came about, that person would conveniently disappear. So no one wanted to be the leader because they didn't want to disappear.
I worry the same thing may happen here. The Occupy protests didn't get anywhere because they couldn't get organized because anyone who tried to organize them disappeared.
I can only hope that the French have more success.
