Putting a bunch of tech bro assholes into a very famous photo of working class people is actually pretty on the nose for how they make billions by stealing from the rest of us. Our labor, our time, our money, and the credit for actually doing something.

For the youngsters, after the Cold War but before 911, the USG considered animal and environmental rights advocates the number one domestic terrorist threat. Federal cops have an ingrained anti left mindset, not just this but built from the historical targeting of POC liberation and anti war folks
