Exactly, pointless conserving if you have nothing to conserve.

Secondly gov's, everywhere has shut down the avenues and options to complaint and peaceful protest have been minimised to stuff like fill in an online petition. Its not even appeasement at this stage. They have ignored the voice of reason, so that voice is now back and looking to burn everything to the ground to get attention.

Go burn the mansions of the billionaires then, sink their yachts. Why burn down your own history? It's like shooting yourself in the foot because you are mad. How the hell does that change anything?

In our defense, Americans are only TAUGHT that peaceful protest is the only viable way.

Our schools don't teach about the Battle of Blair Mountain, or Haymarket Square, or the Deacons for Defense, etc. etc. etc.

Peaceful protests are by definition useless and only Americans think it works.

Hell no? Nonviolence—properly planned, properly utilized nonviolence in the appropriate conditions—does work. The classic (good) examples here are Gandhi and MLK, but they're are far from the only ones. What doesn't work is American style cargo cult "protests" that reproduce the appearance of protest without having an actual theory of victory. This article does a great job explaining this.

Still don’ doesn’t excuse it

I mean ultimately destroying useful government property doesn't punish the government, because it's going to be rebuilt/replaced out of taxpayer money.

Burn down a office tower or something then, not a beautiful historic building.

This is the main point. The French do not fuck around.
