A Deeply Fractured World

[Fishbone Jones]

Are we seeing an upheaval? Are people starting to feel like strangers in their own countries? Do they have a feeling that their government isn’t on their side or that it is actively working against them?

Lots of countries in Europe are starting to see a backlash to their government's open immigration policies, ridiculous taxes, uncaring politicians and a total breakdown of the social programs, laws and justice and plain old security of person and possessions.

Many are saying "We're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore." Have these globalist governments finally pushed their citizens too far? Is it too late to move back from the precipice or do the people even want to?

Did police estimate three million people attended the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ march? – Full Fact

Organisers of the event and multiple social media users are quoting this figure, but the actual Metropolitan Police estimate is much lower.

Police and protesters scuffle as 110,000 join anti-migrant London protest

The march brought a culmination to a highly charged summer in Britain that has seen protests staged outside hotels housing migrants.

There’s a bunch more sources confirming the numbers. Once again double check your Facebook stories before you assume facts.

So 110,000 isn't big enough to be concerned about? 3 million or 110,000, it's still a humongous crowd out to make a point.

There were a bunch of sources giving anywhere from one to three million also. The number of participants was not the point of my post anyway.

The cause of the protest was, and whether people have had enough. A crowd that size, for a cause, should be concerning to a government

Yeah an exaggeration of 30x is pretty outrageous. 110 is a Michigan State football crowd, 3 million is 5% of the UK population.

The only person stating 3 million was the organizer.

Protest crowd sizes are always over claimed, often dramatically so. Any issue, cause, or group, doesn’t matter who.

Sure, I can agree there. However, I'll ask again, does that crowd of people not represent a signifigant amount of people protesting against the government? That's my question. Not a wrong estimation of the number of people involved, which I contend should still be enough for the government to take pause.

100,000 is still a lot of people to come to a protest. I worked across from protest central in Vancouver and the majority of protests were below 100, and half of them were the "professional protesters" that joined every cause.

100,000 is a huge turnout. Heck, it's double what came to the Carrot Festival in Bradford this year!

The 27th annual Carrot Fest kicked off Friday, as thousands swarmed Bradford’s downtown core.

As many as 50,000 people are expected to attend this year’s event.

That why I included the Michigan State Univeridfy example. It’s all about realtime e population.

One would need to compare to a variety of variables.

In Canada that is very large.

But how does it measure in Europe or the UK. Also we would need to see just how easy it is to protest physically vs other parts of the world.

List of protests in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia

For comparison with causes and crowd sizes. 110k seems like average size for that list.

The fact that it makes news is probably noteworthy in the effect it can have.

Interesting that police estimated that 4X showed to support fox hunting and rural issues 23 years ago.

I think fox hunting was still banned.

Overlooked is that the "who" matters. A large turnout for perennial activists doesn't mean much. 100,000 normies turning out is a big deal.
