[wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_68) of May 68, started with university students as it often does, grew with a wildcard (:without depending on syndicats) general strike.

We’ve been going through alot of civil unrest these past years and I’ve been hearing (since retirement has been damaged without parliament vote and last elections haven’t been respected) “why don’t our syndicats call for general strike ?”

wildcarding makes it so that no one spokesman or organisation can be corrupted, prevent and stop the movements.
We’ve had the [Yellow vests protests](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_vests_protests) which were wildcard protests

I remember a decade or 2 ago (so long after may 68) the government tried discreetly to ban pictures of May 68, to make them unavailable, so still scared it could inspire and happen again.
