Listen to Malcolm X if you haven’t. In history, reformation follows revolutionary acts. While there are those who preach peace, there are also those who use violence to achieve peace. Those in power obviously don’t like to shed light on those that may take up violent acts.

I doubt if the french revolution was occuring today that CNN, CBS, The Washington Post, etc, would say anything. And if they did it would be to demonize the acts.

In the wake of the alleged shooting by Luigi Mangione, insurance providers started approving claims, saving lives. I don’t see major networks pointing out that fact.

    French Revolution == Domestic Terrorism

    Chew on that for a while. Maybe the whole concept of terrorism should be examined more critically.

      According to the wealthy, the phrase tax the rich is akin to terrorism. And/or a racial slur.

      Hence why property damage, and even sitting in trees to prevent construction, can have charges of terrorism added, but denying insurance claims that result in death are rewarded.

      Violence is only against the state or wealthy, never by the state or wealthy, according to the state or wealthy.
