    The great part about history is sometimes there’s no need to find a quote when there’s tons of evidence! Here’s a few:

    France, George Besse killed in 85’ due to his “revolutionary” turnaround of a company that included mass layoffs.

    United States Labor Wars which spanned a century of bloodshed and violence. The Labor Wars included the Battle of Blair Mountain where the largest private army in US history was formed and approximately one million rounds were fired.

    There’s a reason your history classes were boring, there’s a reason they opt for American propaganda instead of facts, and there is a reason companies are shitting themselves over union talks. Both the best and worst part about being a history buff is knowing the facts they don’t want you to hear. Be a History Buff with me Limmings! We never meet up, there are no dues, you have no deadlines or tests, and you get to earn dark secrets you can use to torture your friends and family with. It’s great!

      If I could carry around a Limmings History Buff Fellowship member card with qr code links to sites like these, it’d be just handy dandy for the torturing-friends-and-family part.
