I think we’re also over-estimating the strength of the left in the US. I think a century of propaganda and witch hunts is still weighing on the prospects of anything overly pro-labor making it to the mainstream.

For some reason the last photo is being compressed down to 1MP. The version I have is 9MP and you must trust that it’s a good looking photo

A lot of historical photos we seen were taken in situations where the photographer couldn’t meter for light or pull focus precisely without letting the moment slip away but film photography can look really good. All of these are much older than the 1930s

Well I think jumping to shooting representatives of the crown would have just ended with the execution of the handful of conspirators down for that. I see the value in taking steps between the starting point and your goal. You can build a larger network as your less radical actions gain notoriety. When your tyrant incites war, as they do, you’ll have a bunch of supporters that wouldn’t have otherwise picked up arms from the outset

The loved gun control when black people started arming themselves. Most of the reason California has the strict laws it does

She doesn’t have to do anything and I wouldn’t really expect her to take the Dead Kennedys approach. It makes it clear though, how politics in this country have gotten to where they are when those who make a play for power through force can command the narrative unopposed like that
