I am impressed by the pacifist responses on Lemmy. I assume country means the USA.
Labor strikes have led to violence. Among the consolations were the eight hour work day for some and an end to some child labor.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act sparked Bleeding Kansas which contributed to the Civil War. The result of the violence was a change in labor relations for slaves. Owners had to get more creative at creating an underclass.
Unironically yes. The American civil war was fought over whether slavery should be permitted. Slavery is objectively bad, thus fighting to get rid of it made the country better.
Not to mention the revolutionary war, civil rights movement, etc. It doesn’t take much US history knowledge to know this.
Yeah, now that i think about it, i can name a few examples too, including the violent removal of colonial administrations around the world. I don’t know why i didn’t think of that when i wrote my above comment.
Serious question: has violence ever made the country better? Could you please list a few historical examples?
you’re white as fuck and straight as an arrow, aren’t you? nobody who wasn’t would ever seriously ask that question.
Hey, I am white as duck, but my shape is more of a boomerang…

stonewall, american civil war, anytime someone throws a brick at a cop car
Historically illiterate and cowardly
The battle of Blair mountain, John Brown, hell, the Black Panthers. Peace is good, but without the threat of violence it falls easily.

Are you being obtuse or are you really just that fucking stupid?
