   of-globalist-idiocy/   
      
   While you wouldn’t know it by following America’s legacy media, citizens   
   across the globe are expressing widespread dissatisfaction with their   
   respective government’s failed leadership. Whether it’s at the ballot box   
   or in the streets, tens of thousands of people are openly rejecting the   
   globalist ethos permeating governments worldwide that has resulted in   
   higher costs of living, skyrocketing energy prices, and increasing   
   difficulty among citizens addressing their families’ basic needs.   
      
   Spanning from Europe to South America, the backlash has been broad in both   
   message and scope.   
      
   Indonesia   
   Thousands of Indonesians turned out en masse in some of the country’s   
   biggest cities on Tuesday to demand that their “government reverse its   
   first subsidised fuel price increase in eight years amid soaring   
   inflation.”   
      
   According to Reuters, “[u]nder pressure to control a ballooning energy   
   subsidy budget, President Joko Widodo on Saturday said he had little   
   choice but to cut the subsidy and let fuel prices rise by about 30   
   percent,” with oil costs “32% higher than a year ago.”   
      
   “Protests took place in and around the capital, Jakarta, and in the cities   
   of Surabaya, Makassar, Kendari, Aceh, and Yogyakarta, among a series of   
   demonstrations led by students and labour groups that police say could   
   draw big crowds this week,” the Reuters report reads. “Thousands of police   
   were deployed across Jakarta, many guarding petrol stations, fearing they   
   could become targets of mounting anger over a price increase that unions   
   say will hurt workers and the urban poor the most.”   
      
   As noted by Bloomberg News, Indonesia “has one of the highest poverty   
   rates in the world at 9.5%,” with the cost of necessary items like food   
   set to become more expensive amid the country’s inflation increase.   
      
   “Workers are really, really suffering right now,” said Abdul Aris, a union   
   official.   
      
   Italy   
   In Naples, Italians gathered in the streets outside the city’s town hall   
   this past weekend to voice their displeasure with the nation’s rising   
   energy costs. Protestors at the demonstration were filmed burning their   
   energy bills in metallic bins while purportedly chanting phrases such as   
   “We don’t pay the bills!” and “Now it will be chaos!”   
      
   “We don’t want [soaring bills] anymore!” protestors also shouted.   
      
   According to The London Economic, “Residents in the country will be asked   
   to turn down the heating starting from October to help curb energy use,   
   with limits on the use of central heating in public buildings also being   
   brought in.”   
      
   Given that Italy is “heavily reliant on Russia for gas imports,” the   
   European sanctions put on Moscow and Rome’s acceleration towards “green   
   energy” are expected to leave Italians facing a rough winter ahead.   
      
      
   Chile   
   Voters in Chile over the past weekend overwhelmingly rejected a newly   
   proposed, left-wing constitution that would have provided the government   
   with vastly more power and control over the country’s citizenry.   
      
   According to The Blaze, the “170-page document containing 388 articles”   
   would have “enshrine[d] 100 rights including the right to: a   
   ‘nutritionally complete’ diet; ‘leisure’; ‘neurodiversity’; equality for   
   ‘sexual and gender diversities and dissidences, both in the public and   
   private spheres’; housing; sex parity in all public institutions; and to   
   free education.”   
      
   With nearly two-thirds (61.9 percent) of Chileans opposing the measure,   
   the vote represents a humiliating defeat for the country’s socialist   
   president, Gabriel Boric, who supported the proposed constitution.   
      
   “I commit to put my all into building a new constitutional itinerary   
   alongside congress and civil society,” Boric said.   
      
   Opponents of adopting the radical document celebrated voters’ decision,   
   with Carlos Salinas, a spokesman for the Citizens’ House for Rejection,   
   saying that “[t]oday we’re consolidating a great majority of Chileans who   
   saw rejection as a path of hope.”   
      
   “We want to tell the government of President Gabriel Boric… that ‘today   
   you must be the president of all Chileans and together we must move   
   forward,” he said.   
      
   Czech Republic   
   In the Czech Republic, approximately 70,000 citizens showed up in the   
   nation’s capital of Prague on Saturday to protest their government’s   
   handling of the ongoing energy crisis and to express opposition to the   
   European Union and NATO.   
      
   Organized by a wide swath of ideologically diverse political groups,   
   “including the Communist Party of the Czech Republic and the Eurosceptic   
   Tricolor Citizens’ Movement,” demonstrators “held Czech flags, as well as   
   placards against the EU and NATO, Prime Minister Petr Fiala, rising energy   
   prices, and calls for neutrality and dialogue with Russia.”   
      
   Protestors also demanded “the resignation of the current coalition   
   government of conservative Prime Minister Petr Fiala, whom they criticize   
   for following pro-Western policies and allegedly paying more attention to   
   war-torn Ukraine than to his citizens.”   
      
   “The purpose of our demonstration is to demand change, mainly in solving   
   the issue of energy prices, especially electricity and gas, which will   
   destroy our economy this fall,” event co-organizer Jirí Havel said.   
      
   The head of the Tricolor Party, Zuzana Majerová Zahradníková, echoed   
   similar sentiments, saying that the “Czech Republic needs a Czech   
   government” and that “[Prime Minister Petr] Fiala’s government may be   
   Ukrainian, maybe Brussels, but not Czech.”   
      
   Event organizers are currently scheduling another protest for Sept. 28,   
   according to The New Voice of Ukraine.   
      
      
   Other countries that have experienced protests against their governments   
   in recent weeks include New Zealand and Germany, among others.
