Lawyer: ...actually I just read about something like that. Like back then, these big mining protests in West Virginia
Me: the mine wars, yeah
Lawyer: I never knew! and I was like haha wow like did they purposely keep this out of my history classes
Me: well
Lawyer: yeah ok right
Me: yeah the history of push back on capitalism in the US is really long and we& #39;re sort of taught that it ran its course, like people just thought better of it one day, and it was barely there to begin with
Lawyer: yeah when in reality you have the government killing people!!
There& #39;s no punchline to this thread I just enjoy being around for these moments of realization because they were huge for me too
