It is important to note that all protest movements including those with yellow vests are organized by \u201csomeone\u201d. There has never been a time where 10,000 people randomly all chose to simultaneously go clean their local park. But with talented organizers and some marketing 10,000 can be swayed to show up and clean said park no problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The driving force(s) behind the yellow vest protestors seems to be either unknown to the public or so radically diverse (there are many different groups with very different beliefs who are all on the \u201cyellow\u201d side) that there is no single actor driving this movement across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, by default there have been accusations&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2018-12-08\/pro-russia-social-media-takes-aim-at-macron-as-yellow-vests-rage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">that Russia is behind the chaos<\/a>.
