Violent Protest Country Watch List

[Truth]

Something I am a little curious about , that doesn't get much news coverage, is the quiet abundance of countries that are experiencing violent protests this year. I am probably missing many, but off the top of my head I have heard about Ecuador, Chile, France, Hong Kong, Lebanon. I think Venezuela and Columbia too. Probably many others that I am not aware of.

I am just putting this here because I know some of you are more on top of politics than I am, and maybe you can educate me on info or sources to research the topic. What other countries? Why? Is this a lot? What is going on? Is the world coming to an end?

TIA

Im not sure where you get your information, but these aren't protests. They are celebrating socialism and all its great qualities.

I've heard that Iran is having some major protests at the moment as well. They've completely shut down the internet in Iran to keep details from spreading.

not including protests over climate change in pretty much every country in Sept.

I suppose there are probably some protests of some sort in most every country most every year. It just seems like they are happening more this year, but maybe not. Not sure how you can measure this.

I'd say protest as a generic term isn't much to take note of. The stuff going on in Hong Kong is very significant. That's on a different level than "people were upset and went to the streets to say so."

The protests in Spain are the unfounded claims from the Catalonian to become an independent country. This has been going on for decades.

Don't people have a right to form their own union that better represents them?

Yes, but not when forced upon the rest of the nation’s people. Every Spaniard should have a say on the matter, following proceedings that the Spanish Constitution does offer. The Catalonian government declared their independence illegally last year and the President of the region of Catalonia fled to Brussels, afraid to face charges that would undoubtedly send him to prison for sedition.

More importantly, their cultural and historical arguments for becoming independent are false. They claim that there once was the Kingdom of Catalonia, and teach it like this at their schools. This is factually false, there was the Kingdom of Aragon (the region that I was born in) of which Catalonia was a part of.

The only realistic way I see of Catalonia becoming independent is by means of war, because the Spanish population (from all regions) would never vote for such thing to happen.
