While Reddit mods and admin try to keep up with the site's "no violence" terms of use, Facebook and LinkedIn is reacting with tens of thousands of laughing emojis.

    Weird, isn’t it, like there’s some vast wellspring of support a political party could have tapped into by doing literally fucking anything but defending the status quo.

      It’s almost like the uniting factor of the people is class. I feel like there was a historical figure once, who was assassinated for trying to pivot from race to class because the government saw the danger of a united population.

      Every other cause is a distraction from that one.

          I assumed they were talking about MLK.

              Yes. Is it surprising to you that the US government would be involved in the assassination of a Civil Rights and socialist leader or have ties to white supremacy?

              If so, I can recommend quite a lot of further reading about… Most of US history.
