Supporters of the violent protesters invoke France's long tradition of insurrectionary protest, arguing that riotous action has historically won rights that orderly appeals could not.

Supporters of Violent protesters argue that attacking symbols of state power is morally justified when institutions ignore ecological collapse, framing property damage as a response to a deeper violence against the planet.
Supporters of the violent protesters argue that looting and attacks stem from groups denied a peaceful voice, so condemning the violence while ignoring its roots is morally hollow.
Supporters of the violent protesters counter that a state which itself violates ecological limits and public trust forfeits moral authority to condemn resistance, framing the destruction of government property as a defense of collective survival.
Supporters of the violent protesters invoke Scripture's prophetic tradition against rulers who ignore the poor, arguing that justice demands moral accountability from those in power.
