But historically their protests have gotten more done than American protests whether peaceful or not. France has a good reputation for having both actually. Their farmers protested peacefully and it made a difference. Look where the US is now.

Farmers protests are absolutely not peaceful. They vandalise the areas they occupy with manure and in the last one they burned down buildings.
