Lmao, I can imagine what you think of France then

France is the reason change usually happens before things get violent.

I do hate the French, but not for that reason.

I think you should look up the history of the guillotine.

You do understand I'm agreeing with you, right? I'm well aware of what a guillotine was used for.

Then your point doesn't make sense. You're calling the US uncivilised for resorting to violence, but not the French who we are talking about historically resorting to violence? And also this is why others don't resort to violence when civilised (by your standards) because they are afraid of guillotines? IDGI.

The French went after the actual people in power, first of all, and they've learned from their past mistakes.

But their contemporary protests have been just as disruptive if not more disruptive than people slowly walking and causing traffic issues

For sure, the Yellow Vests literally blockaded roads and fuel depots across the whole of France.

I do hate the French

I'm sure I will regret asking this but why?

  1. They sunk the rainbow warrior.

  2. Just generally being arrogant twats.
