Episode Details

A new wave of direct action is sweeping across the Atlantic, as middle-class individuals, feeling their status slip, are taking matters into their own hands. From assassination attempts on Donald Trump in the US to fuel price protests in Ireland that disrupt daily life, these educated, relatively well-off individuals are challenging the status quo. In Ireland, protesters blocked highways, causing delays for pregnant women to hospitals and stranding families with special needs kids. Despite the governments efforts to negotiate, protesters ignored trucker groups and threatened to halt the countrys food supply. This callous populism signals a shift in power dynamics, as the squeezed middle rejects old rules of give-and-take.
