There will be a lot of blocked traffic if we ever bring back the guillotines. Just be honest and say you don't want to be inconvenienced.

Nah, im all for eating the rich but dont punish working people with stupid protests. Protests that inconvenience people who you want to be on your side just turns them against you. If you want to lose the fight make everyone who supports you stop supporting you.

You do you though.

How can we ever get to the point of eating the rich if we can't even block traffic without turning people away from the cause? The former is far more disruptive than the latter.

Mass protests in other countries have shut entire cities down. That's what it takes. If your sentiment is the popular one (and it appears to be), then Americans will never get to a place of actual resistance. I guess people just aren't mad enough yet.
