Most of 19th and early-20th century history, which is very much recent history.

Look up:

- The Haymarket Affair

- The Homestead Strike

- The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire

- The Ludlow Massacre

- The Battle of Blair Mountain

You could also simply have taken the quote you were responding to and run it through a few LLMs to acquire those examples.

    Wasn't me, but probably because this was unnecessary and rude. An example, or a link, when a claim is made, is always nice, turns a hollow claim into something informative. Better signal to noise is nice.

    • That’s funny.

      I find it pretty rude to ask a question on a fairly well-documented historical topic that you could also very easily have found out with a simple Google search. Back in the day, we used to reply to people, “Let me Google that for you,” when someone asked such a low-effort question.

      Your original reply strongly indicated that you were skeptical and questioning the user’s claim. There is a very large body of historical research documenting all of these things.
