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.
We Americans just need to straight up stop feeding into the system that's screwing us. Doing marches and holding up signs doesn't do shit.
Truckers, railroad workers, port workers, and warehouse workers need to go on strike. This will absolutely fuck the system if there is no economy flowing through. The big corpos will have to come to the table then, because we all know the big corpos and "our greatest ally" are really the ones in charge.
Our politicians are too beholden to them, it doesn't matter who you vote the fuck in. There's too much money being thrown around. We the people have the power to just halt everything. We then need to also support those on strike who are out of work. It just sucks knowing how divided we are now. Everyday the media pushes out a new story to divide us by race, gender, religion, etc. Your neighbor is not your enemy.
We are supposed to be the well organized ones that they are afraid of. Unfortunately the method of divide and conquer wasn't just a saying and it actually works.
I agree wholeheartedly, but the main issue I think is fuels. At this point, we need them to live. People need gas to go to work, people need power for their homes and hospitals, etc. Where is the viable, affordable, attainable alternative? We can't just stay home and not work, not take our kids to school. I am wondering how we can overcome that one burden in particular as the market is pretty much cornered there.

Peaceful protests aren't one of France strenghts.
