Here are the female members of parliament dressed in the sashes of the Suffragettes. Four people were killed by the campaigns of the Suffragettes, and 24 others were injured. The contemporary press called them "Terrorists"
Shortly after this photograph was taken, these ladies took off their sashes and all apart from a few voted in the HofC for #PalestineAction to be a proscribed terrorist organisation.
No one has died from excessive graffiti
I don't. I admire the Suffragists who arguably accomplished far more.
I admit I'm not entirely consistent on this, but I don't know why we lionise the Suffragettes who murdered and maimed innocents. People remember Davison getting killed by a horse but rarely remember their victims.
And my own language gives away how time gives legitimacy there - were the politicians they were trying to actually kill, legitimate targets?
They called themselves terrorists.
Anyway, as you were
@grayface_ghost@tech.lgbt @Geri @HarriettMB The French Resistance were also terrorists. Would you call the Maquis murderers, too?
The kind of "nonviolence" that reviles violent resisters as murderers is a political immunodeficiency syndrome. Even Gandhi refused to condemn violent resisters as evil. He only went as far as claiming he had a better way.
"As you were"? I don't think so. Blocked.
There's a reason the Suffragettes are remembered better than the nonviolent Suffragists. The bombing campaign started only after peaceful approaches had been stonewalled into futility.
@dedicto @HarriettMB please reconsider grayface I adore that woman
