Protests in Paris and Milan are driven by a cost-of-living crisis, growing inequality, and underfunding in the school system, according to Victor Joecks' Sunday column, which is critiqued by Matthew Kuethe. Kuethe argues these issues are moral and honorable causes that, if addressed, would strengthen the West rather than destroy it.
He acknowledges that violence is not the answer but disagrees with Joecks' claim that the protesters aim to destroy the West. The protests reflect demands for economic mobility, social cohesion, and better public services.
