  • do you think workers got rights by asking nicely?

    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





  • oh yeah of course! i didn’t go into that because that wasn’t what i wanted to convey but absolutely. it’s one thing to be able to disconnect the author from their work, and another thing to disconnect your brain from your decision making keep supporting their work financially or by spreading the word about it


  • not everyone can disconnect the author from their work, if looking at your tatto makes you think about your favourite book that keeps reminding you of how the author actively keeps making your life more miserable and considers you either a predator or a broken little girl - then yeah, maybe that tattoo is not the best thing to keep around
