    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.

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