Oh fuck off. These pictures are of Blair Mountain, a fight started by the government. The armed people are defending themselves against militarized strike breakers who started the violence.
if factories didn’t get set on fire with the owner inside people would still be breaking their backs working 16h a day in conditions that shorten their lives by a year every month spent working, every day going deeper in dept to the company store. Oh and they asked for better conditions, they protested, they demanded, they went on strikes, but there was no way out.
violance isn’t the answer - violance is what happens when you take away someon’s hope. And this is not a new relevation:
Sun Tzu said ‘When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard’
because a desperate, hopeless foe will fight to the death
Atleast they chose a communist nation founded on the rights of the working class over Russia an ex commhnist country that is now capitalist. So it could get dumber
Instigating violence lol. Learn your history lib. These pictures are organized self defense. The government instigates the violence. If you are not prepared to defend yourself after striking and protesting, you die.
You truly are the dumbest person on Lemmy. These are really famous and specific pictures of a time people got attacked after doing the actions from the top half of the meme, being attacked by an army for it and then defending themselves. The popular response to the violence from the state is what got something done. If you are not prepared and organized, you die and nothing gets done.

Instigating violence is when you point out history instead of having costume parties outside of ICE concentration camps👍
And you call other people idiots…
