→Police state crackdown
In the Macron administration's search to blame the leaderless protests, which span the political spectrum, on an [[ideological]] faction, an early [[Facebook]] organizer was arrested. His November 2018 Facebook posting, that proposed a protest against the government's anti-global warming tax, went viral and catapulted him to the [[mainstream media]]'s honorific title as "spokesman." During the seventh week of protests, Eric Drouet, a self-described [[pacifist]], was arrested while lighting candles for the 10 victims of [[climate science]] and [[globalization]] run amok and charged with leading a mob intent on violence.<ref>https://m.huffingtonpost.fr/2018/12/22/gilets-jaunes-eric-drouet-place-en-garde-a-vue-a-paris_a_23625285/?utm_hp_ref=fr-eric-drouet&ncid=other_homepage_tiwdkz83gze&utm_campaign=mw_entry_recirc</ref> His arrest spurned cries of "[[dictatorship]]" and "[[totalitarianism]]."

Just when the [[fake news]] media were reporting the movement was tiring out and Macron was accelerating his alleged "reform" program, week eight brought protests even larger than before.
