#OtD 11 Oct 1884 one of the longest-burning fires in the world began when striking miners set fire to the New Straitsville mine in Ohio. Miners walked out in Jun and were replaced by scabs, so strikers set mines on fire. It is still burning today stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1107...

l m a o. they're certainly one to talk when they think canada isn't already existing & exists explicitly off the back of fascism/colonialism. denialism can be a super effective coping mechanism i'm sure, however this level of it from this person is what gets people further harmed (or worse).
