Well, to begin with the first thing one should note: middle age people living of welfare do not use Tviter, neither are the inner city demographics.

See the demographics of protesters, they are all but the two groups above.

Being unfortunate to live 13 years in Russia, I can tell the trick: the initial "ignition source" might've been the middle age welfare receivers, but later on it was pivoted towards the usual malcontents under the cover of commotion.

Simple as hell trick, but yeah, it gave France hell.

The threat of mob rule you described, is only there if you allow it to be forcefully/artificially instated through psyops/political technologists/disinformation

Both of those demographics do in fact use Twitter, quite a bit actually.
