            The American Revolution didn’t go from 0 to 100 with a single violent act, nor was the violence of the Patriots unprovoked - it was caused by the violence of a repressive state apparatus.

            Likewise, the Civil Rights Movement never went to the level of civil war - yet violence was still widely used in it. As even the great pacifist MLK Jr. said, and not as an abstract statement divorced from the circumstances of the time, “A riot is the language of the unheard.”

            Violence is not a boolean. And disregarding it as a potential tool is foolishness.

    Anyone have any information on the photographer?

    Were they in on it or did it happen to be press taking a picture of the dude?

    The angle seems very convenient.

    Either way, great picture.

    I need to read more articles from around that time to put a smile on my face.

    Although not too many, as they will start going into “and we gave collaborators of the fascist regime a slap on the wrist, as 10% of the population are fascists, and we can’t jail them all and have a functioning society”

      and two generations later, there’s a non-negligible population of gamer-forum dudes without girlfriends who think that the Franco years were a lost golden age to RETVRN to

        I wasn’t even specific about Spain/Franco, also, there’s the (Spanish language?) meme about “recuerdas que dice abuelo”/“la dictadura era el mejor cosa que pasó al este país de mierda”.

        (Now now sweety, remember what grandpa says/the dictatorship was the best thing to happen to this piece of shit country)
