On this day in 1912, the Paint Creek Mine War began when West Virginia miners struck, demanding formal union recognition and fairer labor practices. The incident quickly escalated into one of the worst labor conflicts in U.S. history.
The event, also known as the Paint Creek-Cabin Creek Strike, centered on the area enclosed by two streams, Paint Creek and Cabin Creek. It is considered part of the "Coal Wars", a series of armed conflicts between workers and coal companies from the 1890s - 1930s in the United States.
The strike lasted for fourteen months, and over 5,000 workers participated. Notable labor organizer Mother Jones (shown) came to West Virginia to support the workers, organizing a secret march of 3,000 armed miners to the steps of the state capitol in Charleston to read a declaration of war to Governor William E. Glasscock.
The confrontation directly caused approximately fifty violent deaths from armed conflicts between miners and strike-breaking forces, as well as many more deaths indirectly caused by starvation and malnutrition among the striking miners. In terms of casualties, it was among the worst conflicts in American labor history.

Apparently Warhammer 40k put women in their game and chuds are extremely mad. I got recommended an Asmongold clip and because I like to gaze into the abyss sometimes I looked at the comments:
I can't remember who said this, but it's so true;
The people that want 40k to have female Space Marines don't want to collect them, they want YOUR collection to have female space marines.
One step closer to cultural marxism, comradesDaily reminder that Roguetrader era 40k had female Spess Mehrin minis and they were just nixed due to poor sales.
Collecting 100 crappy badly molded forty year old minis made of radioactive cadmium just so i can walk in to a gw tourney and play canonical girl marines.
Now that's a good bit! They don't let you play Squats though iirc so they might get sniffy about those too?
the madlads finally did it, godspeed mr james workshop and good luck with the chuds
What's the new lore? Guarantee these motherfuckers are fake ass fans
Women custodes is the most innocuous and tame "retcon" in the history of 40k, ironically it plays into the differentiation between custodes and space marines that both the lore and these incel dipshits constantly harp on about, "the custodes are cool cause they're literally built different"......."wait NO NOT LIKE THAT, FEEEEEMALLES"
What a bunch of crybabies
Each one is basically an art piece created to be peak superhuman. No shit the individuals meant to represent our apex would have women.
Not serious: this really bums out the alfabrusa take of them all being oiled up jojo protags.
There were woen space marines in the original Rogue Trader line up.
Also, as is often pointed out, if you're a roided out eight foot tall quasi-immortal transgenic slab of bigotry and hate then your secondary sex characteristics probably weren't very pronounced before all your skin was cut off to install the parasitic interface system for your power armor.
you're a centrist because you think both democrats and republicans in congress should compromise to get things done
i'm a centrist because i think both democrats and republicans in congress should be executed en masse on national tv
we are not the same
Death to America
I got something very important that I been putting off far too long done!
sorry, GAY BOYS, but the only MLM i'm interested is MARX, LENIN, & MAO
Got psyopped by transfems into buying and playing crusader kings 3 a while ago and now I'm finding myself reading 500 A3 page long books about the history of art in the Byzantine Empire, how tf did this happen to me
Show
believes Andy Warhol is conspiring to steal her writings
writes a manifesto urging women to "overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex"
attempts to assassinate Warhol
icon behavior tbh. they don't make feminists like this anymore
Hexbear is a Chinese plot to turn military age males into beautiful women in order to reduce the manpower of the United States
And it's working
After doing some soul searching, I'm not sure I'm down with this whole capitalism thing. It's starting to feel like crapitalism.
Not gonna be a very popular opinion here, according to most recent survey the median hexbear user owns 2 factories in Victorian England.
Not true, actually. hexbear user @industrialistgeorg@hexbear.net, who is an industrialist from 1843 and owns 4,892 factories, is an outlier and should not be counted
First of all, we only count people who are industrialists in surveys (only real people) so jot that down.
Fun fact: One of Grindr's alternate covert app icons is a little checkmark on a notepad, hilariously labelled "To Do".
All I want out of life is a cozy bed, a hearty meal, and a close friend. Capitalism makes all of that hard af. I hate this damn system so much. That shit should be simple. Maslow is a fuck. It ain’t wrong tho
