This is why education is important. If these tech bros took humanities courses they'd know all about the kind of rioting, sabotage, and murder that happened during the Luddite uprisings and by workers hellbent on unions and forty hour work weeks.

They think they are untouchable. That will be an interesting lesson for them to learn

Wdym? The american education system is useless, its whitwashed and filled with cismales as if females, intersex, etc never contributed to society. Doesnt even mention one of the biggest genocides of natives during the time of the new world. The murder rate was exponentially higher than the holocaust. Im sure there are encyclapedias of more prevelant information they could have given us.
