Ahh, yes, the haymarket riot of 1886! I remember reading about how a bunch of pseudo-socialist lemmy users were at the forefront of that major change.

Hey bud. How about you give an example of change YOU took part in and not just sit around pretending the sacrifices others made for you were yours.

And while we’re at it, what union do you belong to?
