'one's outlook doesn't have to be circumscribed by one's class' - maybe you're right, but it seems to be a pretty good predictor of what peoples' opinions will be on certain subjects.
'As to the Yellow Vests, no offense, but your position is incoherent and self-defeating, almost bourgeois.' - ouch! I think you got me wrong though, didn't mean to say it was pointless, just inadequate in its current form (though I haven't been keeping up to date with the latest developments so could be way off base here). 'Your argument is actually a call for more organizing' - er yes, that's actually what I was going for!
'As to specific demands they have a long list of them.' - do you have a link for that? I've seen various things written down but no indication of democratic approval of them from the majority. Generally, as I say I don't know much about this (even McMillan seems to be mostly based in theory with not many personal examples to share) so I can't make recommendations for what the GJ's ought to be doing to achieve their goals - as if they'd listen to my patronising advice anyway...
