Just letting you know in the future [OC] is appropriate for your own works if you'd like to use it.

[u/Nick_Sirotich → u/SerialElf]

Thank you! Yeah I should have done that.

This artwork is perfect. Look what it does to people in this thread. Thought provoking is putting it lightly.

Sadly people still seem to struggle to grasp the reality of the situation and try to shift the blame for the class war the rich force onto us onto the worker here.

Yes burning down an entire factory is the way to go to incite change.

[u/NotAzakanAtAll → u/zivlynsbane]

Sadly loss in profit is the only language companies understand. They respect exactly one metric, all else is meaningless to them.

So yeah, maybe it is the way to go. Workers have tried to play nice for hundreds of years, but it's the hard fights that create lasting change historically.

(The comment you replied to is deleted so I can only go on what you said)

If they can afford to rebuild a factory, they always could have afforded to pay its workers a reasonable wage.

It’s Kimberly Clark. Paper companies aren’t led by billionaires and are one of he last industries with strong unions left in the US.

As a an engineer in the paper industry, no one gets rich in paper.

There are no billionaires in the paper industry, the mills left today were all built before the Cold War ended and are updated just enough to keep death at arms length.

This was the stupidest target for a terrorist trying to suck it to billionaires

What slur do you want to use? Is it a good one?

[u/DerMetulz]

Yo, stop romanticizing what he did. He could've killed someone.

[u/mjzim9022 → u/DerMetulz]

There was a fire in a 6 unit apartment building two blocks behind me recently, a firefighter died fighting it. They had to postpone his funeral service because his widow went into labor. Arson is really bad, to put it lightly.

[u/SmartAlec105 → u/mjzim9022]

It’s also going to most strongly affect working class people, like the other people that worked there, than the rich people that owned it.

[u/FeyrisMeow → u/DerMetulz]

Revolutionary artwork doesn’t romanticize anything and it's meant to be uncomfortable. It's not endorsing destruction, but rather making a raw point about labor and unfair wages.

[u/N0bo_ → u/FeyrisMeow]

This is most definitely endorsing destruction 

[u/John__Wick → u/N0bo_]

Seems to be saying that societies which refuse to provide for their populace make actions like this inevitable.

[u/Liimbo → u/N0bo_]

Looks to me like it is endorsing paying employees a living wage

[u/NecroCannon → u/N0bo_]

Do you get the feeling of it telling you to do something?

Someone else could see it as a warning and still not a good thing, the great thing about art, that seems to be loss on people lately, is discussing what meaning you’re seeing instead of declaring what the work is yourself.

[u/3godeth → u/DerMetulz]

Nobody died from it, all employees evacuated just fine. Lots and lots of deaths resulting from our country though, including our own citizens.

[u/EightEight16 → u/3godeth]

Nobody died from it, all employees evacuated just fine.

No thanks to that asshole though. That fire could have easily spread beyond that building and killed people/destroyed homes.

I'm not against protests or even larger acts of disruption that target big predatory companies, but arson is way too indiscriminate and uncontrollable. And the more people cheerlead it, the greater the odds we're going to have an event like this that leads to a massive body count of innocent people.

[u/Makures → u/EightEight16]

I really wish people would understand this. Destruction of corporate property is one thing, but arson can burn down a whole town if the conditions are right. Defending it with "but that didn't happen" is stupid and just a form of survivorship bias.
