I'd include the Jim Crow / opposition to civil rights movements. Which were bloody and brutal.
Today is the 59th anniversary of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, in which four girls aged 11--14 were killed, and another 14--22 injured.

excuse me, could you clarify if your statement about marks and blocks here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12118609) was about WordStar or Emacs?
thank you
PS I'm sorry for digressing; there was no reply button on that post.

Neither. vi / vim.

In theory it’s unconstitutional here to prosecute someone for an act they committed before there was a law against it. But there are other ways to convict someone, for better or worse.
Corporations leverage this all the time, so they go unpunished unless it’s in the court of public opinion. The toolset is necessary but the power dynamics are important.
