20,000 people on the streets protesting about globalisation, riot cops in confrontations with the public, authorities preventing protest marches...
It's now a very familiar picture.
But this isn't London or Pittsburgh or Toronto...
Nope, it's Seoul, South Korea.
Everywhere the G20 goes, the people of the host nation protest and the state enforcers crack down on the people as a result.
But come on, global elite. Amuse us.
We know how you'd spin a protest in the UK or the US - anarchists or some such nonsense.
But how are you going to spin mass protests against globalisation in South Korea?
People in the Philippines are joining in, protesting at "the undemocratic and anti-people nature of the G20".
Exactly which nation has to take to the streets and say "we don't want this globalist agenda" before you get the message?
And if the people all over the globe are united against the globalist agenda, whose interests are you actually seeking to serve?
Go on... amuse us.
Who is it that you think you represent?
If the people of most Western nations now find themselves joined by South Korea in opposing globalisation, what do you think the message is?
