A Wave of Anger is Sweeping the Cities of the World – Politicians Beware

(Before It's News)

The march of protest
 
A FAMILIAR face appeared in many of the protests taking place in scores of cities on three continents this week: a Guy Fawkes mask with a roguish smile and a pencil-thin moustache. 
 
The mask belongs to “V”, a character in a graphic novel from the 1980s who became the symbol for a group of computer hackers called Anonymous. His contempt for government resonates with people all over the world.
 
The protests around the world
 
The protests have many different origins. In Brazil people rose up against bus fares, in Turkey against a building project.
 
 Indonesians have rejected higher fuel prices, Bulgarians the government’s cronyism. In the euro zone they march against austerity, and the Arab spring has become a perma-protest against pretty much everything.
 
 Each angry demonstration is angry in its own way.
