    Euromaidan was peaceful until the anti-protest measures were used by law enforcement, the Berkut deployed to violently disperse them, at the request of the then failing government. It started with 1,500 and after the crackdown grew to hundreds of thousands. After multiple weeks news of riots began to spread, but much of it can be attributed to Russian propoganda trying to lable the movement as xenophobic and hateful.

    And because of that they were imprisoned and ridiculed by the media and didn’t gain right to vote at 21 until 14 years later after their organization had a huge schism splitting into multiple factions

    However, a system of publicity, Ensor argues, had to continue to escalate to maintain its high visibility in the media. The hunger strikes and force-feeding did that, but the Pankhursts refused any advice and escalated their tactics. They turned to systematic disruption of Liberal Party meetings as well as physical violence in terms of damaging public buildings and arson. Searle says the methods of the suffragettes harmed the Liberal Party but failed to advance women’s suffrage. When the Pankhursts decided to stop their militancy at the start of the war and enthusiastically support the war effort, the movement split and their leadership role ended.

    _cryptagion happily self identified as one, I’ve also been informed Hexbear is commenting on this post, and it hosts such communities as Libjerk which is Tankies’ defensive reaction to Tankiejerk. You’ll see tons of overlap between openly Tankie rhetoric on ML and Hexbear to here, if you hang out on Flippanarchy long enough you’ll even see people quoting Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong unironically.

    You claim the two instances fight, but the votes tallies show a different story.
