What I described was a highly ineffective form of protest that alienates more than it influences. It can also result in a fatality.

My point really was just as simple as that.

At no point did I say we shouldn't stop fascism.

I mean, have you ever seen news reports about these blockades? They usually highlight a fire truck that couldn't get through, or a family who couldn't get to the hospital. The cause of the protest might be mentioned in passing at best. All people remember is the fire truck or the family.
