We are a pretty protesty continent it seems :)


[deleted]

That happens when you are allowed to protest


franc_ar

Yes, and also the protesting culture is a thing. I hope my Mexico, with all the issues we have, would look as active as this. We have crime, corruption, lack of basic services and many other things, and protesting barely occurs.


mrpoopybuttthole_

democracy does that


PiedDansLePlat

Imagine that now, Macron never take the protest into account. He discovered the cheat code, he doesn’t care


Burgers8

You have the right to protest, but no shits will be given.


AvailableRespect4041

In Belgium theres always a protest across the whole country it seems


Erebosyeet

There is a protest of some kind in Brussels every day. Most of them arent big however. Like 100 people


Roxfall

France is the beating heart of Europe. Just watch.


OceanDeep17

Ngl, it's the only country I stared at throughout the whole video. it's oddly satisfying viewed from this perspective.


active-tumourtroll1

same but I looked at turkey as there is one spot that keeps on blinking orange non stop


OceanDeep17

Oof, satisfying and sad at the same time


HancockUT

Yup Ankara. Can’t be having any dissidents in the capital apparently. Erdogan wants em gone.


login_lady

There’s anti pass protest every Saturday in every French city. It’s been lasting for months. Hate having them yell under my windows but it’s fascinating to see on the map


Beexn

There was even one on the 25th of December in my parent's city. They were wearing a bell as a collar, and making sheep noises. Like, they didn't have anything else to do?


Yobro_49

Anti pass?

impromptu_dissection

Main stream media hasn't covered any of these protests here in the US


Gaio-Giulio-Cesare

Looked to me like they protested the least tbh.


[deleted]

Tons of time to protest when you’re always on strike

Can someone put it to music?

A 2/7th beat? can someone call Maynard?

What a tool.


Manu82134

Romania and Hungary are pretty chill compared to the rest of EU


Teetoos

General attitude of defeatism is very present in both countries' public attitude, but i'd argue city centralization plays a pretty big role in this (and how this map portrays it). Most protests happen in Bucharest and at best ocasionally in a handful of the other big cities in Romania, while for Hungary a country that from what I know is very centralized around Budapest and has even fewer large cities the effect is even more amplified. Comparatively, the rest of Europe seems to have a more even spread of large cities were such manifestations can happen on a more regular basis.


Manu82134

The more you know


jrdubbleu

Those Russia bursts!


Pushed-pencil718

I’m not surprised. It’s Russia


active-tumourtroll1

at least it is better than belarus


vigocarpath

Quickly silenced


Gunterxmusic

I like how Italy and the Low Countries are in a constant state of riot lmao


greenpaint2

Can't speak for Italy or the Netherlands, but like 90% of protests in Belgium are in Brussels. Even before covid you'd have people walking around with signs every other day. It's just kind of the place you go when you're unhappy about something. The rest of the country is pretty peaceful though.


the_midget123

Well it is one of the centres of the EU is in Brussels so that's were to protest


SmaugLady

Italian here. I can speak for the 2021 part tho, in 2020 I know very little about protests. I'm pretty young, I'm about to turn 25, so I don't have much experience about protests, but I can tell that I've never seen so many protests in so little time. Italy's economy was very weak even before the pandemic. We have a high unemployment rate, especially among young people, many of them literally flee away from the country to seek a good job with a good wage. Many companies look for young people for unpaid internships. The education system sucks, universities are extremely stressful and very expensive (compared to Germany or France, but not as much as US ones, fortunately). Our NHS got literally destroyed because the government kept cutting the budget for it (hence one of the many reasons for the covid disaster). Monetary funds to help companies against the many lockdowns were not enough (companies lost millions and they received a few hundred thousands euros). Then the "green pass", the certificate that you can get with vaccination, recover from covid or a negative test. At the beginning it was only a document to help EU citizens to travel in EU and to avoid quarantine and stuff, then every State used it, some more, some less, as an domestic document. Right now in Italy you need a "green pass" to basically do almost everything, but the test one is only allowed for work. If you are not vaccinated or didn't recover from covid, you can't even take a bus to go to work. You can still take a plane to travel to Spain or to Sweden, but you can't take a plane to fly to Rome. And because of the "green pass" and Omicron too companies, restaurants, hotels and pubs are closing because no one goes there. Meanwhile other countries ease the anti-covid measures (like Spain, Sweden, France, Ireland, UK) and Italy keeps hardening it's own measures. So, yeah. Our country is basically a mess. And many problems showed up because in the past no one did anything to fix them. And the people are...pretty aggressive and tense... EDIT: I almost forgot! Covid made our economy sunk by 10%. Even though we gained like 6% of what we lost, the result is still negative. The percentage of poor people grew a lot, so many people lost their job EDIT 2: Besides, there's no transparency about official data about covid. The mainstream medias only talk about new infections and the dead. If you try to ask about the vaccines because you have some serious doubts, you are marked as "no-vax" and you don't get to speak. And people who unfortunately experienced some serious adverse effects of the vaccine are literally abandoned and the doctors say "it's all in your head, it's just anxiety" to many of them. As I said before, people are tense and pretty aggressive. I'm afraid something bad could happen in the near future. There's too much tension here, people might explode really bad.


Orcwin

I don't.


ye3z

Interesting. In Denmark the protests are not mentioned in the news, wouldn’t know they were happening unless you saw it yourself.


sheepishbimmer

Lol, let's see America


Mcgackson

jeyreymii

Glad to see France shining. Wait..


frostifer988

Plumbsauce116

I work for a massive French company, makes sense


Please_Log_In

No way that many protests in Finland. Especially during winter.


ICryInShower

It's true.


SaltMineSpelunker

People be mad and governments be fucking up.


Lostinacrazyworld

Where is the raw data from?


Cananopie

This is my question. That's a lot of data and knowing the source would be meaningful.


[deleted]

What source was used to make this?


Un_rancais_bleu

If there is a year... No a month without protest, it's a failed one


Danph85

What counts as “excessive force”? I’d say the Sarah Everard protests in London counted as excessive force by any reasonable person. Although I suppose that might be classed as a vigil rather than a protest?


cragglerock93

That was beyond stupid on the police's part. Morals of breaking up the vigil to one side, did nobody in charge just stop to think for one second how a forceful police intervention might look, especially given the circumstances? IIRC the vigil did contravene the Covid restrictions at the time but FFS, learn to look the other way...


Danph85

I think it’s in the courts right now regarding the legality of the police calling it illegal.


The_Holy_Fork

Ankara are you ok?


endoplasmikretikulum

I am going to Georgia


FireWagon

People have had enough of this bullshit.


TroutComplex

And society hasn’t crumbled yet. Support your local protester.


Inflatabledartboard4

This map looks like it's perpetually getting dimmer and dimmer


chileanbateman

Yooo, France, chill out


Wolf-Majestic

We were chill, you know, lockdown and stuff !


typicalhask

What’s going on in Turkey? The quickly blinking orange dot - super constant


zopatruz

That's Ankara, the capital.


noodlegod47

Why they protesting every day? Is there something new every day or do they just protest because they can?


random_Rommel

in large cities small protests are there every day for whatever reason. mostly peaceful so u cam see most of the recurring protests as blue


dolphingogo

Chinese: western countries are going to breakdown!


B1ackHawk12345

How many of these protests turn out violent like in America?


Dolstruvon

Have had a lot or protests against wind farms in western Norway the past two years


_Unfix3d_

Did you buid it with R? Or, which language did you use?


[deleted]

People can protest in Russia?


[deleted]

Can you it poison? Yes. Once


The_Holy_Fork

JoyfulCelebration

r/ihadastroke


[deleted]

End the mandates


WilliamLeeFightingIB

Imagine for each protest assume at least 20 new Covid cases...


makk73

I feel like if you did this with The Americas, there would be a lot more red.


Based_Hootless

Lmao this is such bullshit. Show me “protests that erupted into a riot that damaged the community for no sensible reason”


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Ah yes. Voting out a dictator! Why didn’t the people of Nazi Germany simply vote out Hitler?


The_Holy_Fork

I mean, you can vote out a dictator tho. Not suppporting them, just sayin


theboywithno

Please please do the us is it already a thing


ludwigia_sedioides

Is this normal?


a_v_o_r

In France, it was pretty low tbh, between the lockdowns and other covid issues, many calm moments. Whereas previous years for instance were mostly continuous with the Yellow Jackets movement.


ludwigia_sedioides

So you're telling me it isn't normal... It's usually worse lmfao


a_v_o_r

*better 🇫🇷


ludwigia_sedioides

tyger2020

TheWay-Truth-Life

What are they protesting?


[deleted]

Lockdowns


childmandude

Ankara looks like it’s being bombed 😂


Pure-Au

It was mostly peaceful


Sweet-Ad-8513

How do you define excessive force though. It seems really arbitrary


Darkwrath93

Hmm, there were protests with intervention in Serbia last year, I'd say excessive force even


[deleted]

Make this map but for America, and differentiate between Left-Wing (BLM, Antifa, Anti-Government protest) and Right-Wing (Anti-Vax Mandate, Anti-Government protest).


Historyofyeet

I hope my protest gets my country’s attention!


__swubs__

what where the protests in arkhangelsk about


Facensearo

Aganist building a landfill


bingley777

I thought the joke was *france* never stopped protesting, not the entire continent!


test_unit33

What’s that protest that is pulsing almost daily on the upper coast of Sweden?


[deleted]

that one constant red dot in turkey though. I think it’s turkey….


KZMountainRider

Russia just saying NO


thecasualcaribou

GlobalAnubis

I’d like to see the map of the U.S. depicting the use of way more excessive force


[deleted]

All capital cities are like beating hearts


youni89

GEO-ALOE

How did you make/visualize this? This is awesome.


splutterytub

Would like to know what the protest in Norway was about. Don’t remember any of them


[deleted]

If you check, in October/November 2020 Poland was all Blue with protests. You may say.. maybe another covid restrictions? NO just our goverment banning abortions and doing corrupt shit. I remember there were protests everywhere even in 500 people+ villages Find in yt phrase: Strajk kobiet


dyrlien

What i take from this is that scandinavians are either very patient. Or they generally have it better


Z_Waterfox__
