In this episode, I speak with Alley Valkyrie and Rhyd Wildermuth, co-founders of Gods & Radicals Press and the hosts of the Empires Crumble podcast. We discuss the recent widespread civil unrest in France—dubbed Les Gilets Jaunes, or the Yellow Vest movement in the Anglophone world—a response to President Emmanuel Macron's decision to implement a fuel tax hike in France. Alley and Rhyd provide needed context to what is currently unfolding there, tying cultural, historical, and broad economic trends in France and Europe to make sense of this movement.
