Article seems super right wing. Maybe just stop the right from stealing from the people. I applaud them for saying hell no to BS reforms and pressures to impoverish the populous. I'm cheering for the kids with the jerry cans.

None of the "kids with the jerry cans" are doing any of this because of reforms. The riots have very real consequences for already neglected communities seeing their libraries, schools and local businesses burning down. Are you confusing the riots with the protests earlier this year about the pension system reforms?
