  • Euromaidan was peaceful until the anti-protest measures were used by law enforcement, the Berkut deployed to violently disperse them, at the request of the then failing government. It started with 1,500 and after the crackdown grew to hundreds of thousands. After multiple weeks news of riots began to spread, but much of it can be attributed to Russian propoganda trying to lable the movement as xenophobic and hateful.

  • And because of that they were imprisoned and ridiculed by the media and didn't gain right to vote at 21 until 14 years later after their organization had a huge schism splitting into multiple factions

    However, a system of publicity, Ensor argues, had to continue to escalate to maintain its high visibility in the media. The hunger strikes and force-feeding did that, but the Pankhursts refused any advice and escalated their tactics. They turned to systematic disruption of Liberal Party meetings as well as physical violence in terms of damaging public buildings and arson. Searle says the methods of the suffragettes harmed the Liberal Party but failed to advance women's suffrage. When the Pankhursts decided to stop their militancy at the start of the war and enthusiastically support the war effort, the movement split and their leadership role ended.

  • I already said it was a bad and wrong of him, but I firmly stand by that I understand why they thought otherwise. What would be constructive criticism is talking about how to solve the problem of representation at the top level so removed from the people.

  • There are 5 airlines in Canada with more than 60 registered aircraft, of which Air Canada has 256. There are roughly 37,290 registered aircraft in Canada. The union has about 10,000 flight attendants across all airlines and 750,000 public employee members total. I can't tell you exactly how many people are impacted but we could assume the ( 10,000 / 37,290 ) * 256 = 68.6511 union members, but that's way too low because we don't know exactly what ratio of registered aircraft are passenger planes with flight attendents.

    It's not exactly David vs Goliath, here, the number of people negatively impacted by delayed shipments or being trapped on an actual plane or having nonrefundable flights cancelled definitely outweighed those negatively impacted by the union agreement lapse.

  • _cryptagion happily self identified as one, I've also been informed Hexbear is commenting on this post, and it hosts such communities as Libjerk which is Tankies' defensive reaction to Tankiejerk. You'll see tons of overlap between openly Tankie rhetoric on ML and Hexbear to here, if you hang out on Flippanarchy long enough you'll even see people quoting Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong unironically.

    You claim the two instances fight, but the votes tallies show a different story.

  • I'm just saying, I doubt it's easy for him to get the big picture when so many people make it their life's purpose to prevent him from getting the big picture.

    Anyways, it's not all a bad decision. Allowing it to continue was having real world consequences for all Canadians, whether they realize it or not. It's just a repeat of Biden ending Rail Union strikes and getting them their requests granted over the course of the following 9 months.

  • I kind of feel bad for politicians like this. You know they get hounded by lobbyists and during meetings and over the phone constantly and all of their coworkers talk about it and then you do something only to find out NO! THAT WAS WRONG! DON'T EVER FUCKING DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!
