Listen to Malcolm X if you haven’t. In history, reformation follows revolutionary acts. While there are those who preach peace, there are also those who use violence to achieve peace. Those in power obviously don’t like to shed light on those that may take up violent acts.
I doubt if the french revolution was occuring today that CNN, CBS, The Washington Post, etc, would say anything. And if they did it would be to demonize the acts.
In the wake of the alleged shooting by Luigi Mangione, insurance providers started approving claims, saving lives. I don’t see major networks pointing out that fact.
Oh boy.
No.
The biggest grocery stores (oligopolies) are notorious for not giving employees 40h/wk specifically so they don’t need to include health benefits. And that’s just one example.
Edit: nearly half of. Canadians are living paycheque-to-paycheque
Oh I thought you had universal healthcare. It’s still tied to employment?
Nope, dental, eyes, and prescriptions, etc. are excluded 🤷♂️
Edit: which is admittedly still better than south of the border, but weak compared to east of the Atlantic
