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.

Exactly, violent mobs should be deciding the direction of the country, not the democratic process.

Why is there also so much hate towards Jan 6th? They took the matters into their own hands as well.
