   they say you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet, the get their omelete and they try to pretend like they didn't break eggs.
   
   Just so dishonest

     it's because if you don't talk about the broken eggs, you can't weigh the costs of the omelet versus the pros.

     @sickburnbro unpopular opinion but... I think anarchists -then- were a completely different beast to the tranny faggots we see today.
     
     Bombing Wall Street in the 1920s was probably based considering that financial jewry lead to the great depression.

     @PonyPanda I don't think thats an unpopular opinion around fedi, maybe not super common.
     
     I think some of the difference was that back then communists hadn't had a chance to try ruling, so they were much more animated about the possibilities.

     @PonyPanda @sickburnbro I don’t think they were, but I think leftism had more spirit back then.
     They were willing to wage a low-level war that would make modern terrorism look like nothing. I mean back in the day they assasinated heads of state. I think there was more belief in the ideas. Whether they were truly in their hearts evil or not is hard to tell looking back. I think a lot of them were more sincere even if a lot of their ideas were bad.

     @Griffith @PonyPanda they were evil because they were willing to burn the world down to rule the ashes.
     
     That's because they don't love people, they love "humanity" which isn't really a love because you can't love an abstraction, because part of what makes love powerful is the reality and imperfections.

     @PonyPanda I mean, people want to ignore this, but the reason the Germans wanted the Jews deported is because they tried to destabilize their country AFTER WW1 and turn it into a communist shithole by a revooolutttion, and well, they kind of didn't want that.

     @PonyPanda we make up lies because it makes us sound like some glorious good guys instead of the extremely morally complicated picture that WW2 is.

     @sickburnbro There's a lot of things like this that I would learn about for the first time at like 25 years old and go "wtf why didn't I know this?" Weather Underground is another example.
