Its not until we actually see numbers. This guy could be making up/exaggerating ( "everyone" really?) these stories, because thats what ppl do on the internet.
These type of protests usually die down because human beings always choose convenience and lower price.
Also see blm, dei and other "movements" that died down as soon as news cycle changed.
It's not just a consumer movement, it's Europe itself moving to get away from an unreliable schizophrenic ally. You can't make long-term plans when every 4 years you're playing russian (eh) roulette with your partner.
The movement might slow down, but it's fundamentally different from a social movement limited to the US.

Are your referring to greenland gaining independence from denmark? good for them .
Why is denmark so hesitant to give up control of greenland if thats what ppl of greenland want. Colonial mindset ? They have king thats changing flags. nothing says allies than "boiling viking blood" OG colonizers still living in middle ages.
BLM, DEI etc are things that people care about, and will continue to care about. The news cycle promotes or rejects such concerns because they're driven by advertising and political favour. If you know about these things because of the news cycle, and your opinions are shaped by the news cycle, then the vested interests of advertising and political favour are cheering.
The news cycle should be orthogonal to your opinions on such matters. It shouldn't form them. A good acid test is to ask yourself if you had an opinion on something before it appeared in the news. If not, be very wary of the opinion that you adopt.

The thing is - a lot of actually very important topics got swept under the rug for a loooong time. Let's just take gay people for example. Up until the late 90s, gays got routinely beaten up by police, called "pedophiles"... hell it took until 2011 until open gays could serve in the military. That all only changed due to widespread outrage (and a few constitutional courts reinterpreting constitutional wording).
