The Yellow Vest anti – austerity campaign
has been a recurring issue in the news and social media. It is an important issue that largely marked
the 21st century, a century of contestation and resistance, with a
variety of social movements emerging as a result of crises of the neoliberal
status quo. These crises have actually
empowered populist movements like the Yellow vests to spread all around the
world, pressuring for more and more change at a regional and international
level. Essentially, it has been a
contemporary crusade fought by tools like demonstration and non – compliance
and resistance to the repressive nature of the system. In this blog post, I will analyse this modern
form of crusade, which has a banner and a symbol which makes it a full - grown
resistance to the elites and the globalized structure they created.
