    You have heard of that demonstration, and not of the (LOT of) other one. So it's a necessary mean. And you may be surprised that it have work in the past. Not always, but CEO whining for the destruction to stop have more chance than union asking politely to not be threaten by their workplaces

    I don't think Americans can really throw any shade on anyone about how to protest.

    Violent protests would be extremely counterproductive in the US right now. If you really believe otherwise then you need to step away from the Internet for a while, because you are totally delusional.

    No it isn't. You're just delusional. You think the average French person is sympathetic to violent protests? They are almost always counterproductive.

    A false dichotomy is the presentation of a problem as a binary choice, when in fact there's a variety of solutions.

    In this case Americans are doing nothing to prevent the rise of fascism.

    You're claiming that you're doing nothing because violent protest is counter-productive, and ignoring all of the other solutions.

    This is kind of a dumb statement. The French also protested and destroyed a bunch of shit when the government raised the retirement age.

    Guess what happened?

    If you guessed the government raised the retirement age you would be right. So what does rioting and destroying a bunch of shit accomplish in France. If you answered nothing much you would be correct.
