What do we do about this lads? It seems the old guards of reaction are evermore invigorated as the rich see and fear more people getting tired of their shit and killing them when things finally hit the fan.
Pinkertons are coming back
Joshua Barnes
Wyatt Fisher
They've been a part of Securitas up until now, if I recall. I guess they think the infamy around their name has lulled down and that it has transformed into story and legend, valuable free advertising, clout and influence for a business.
I suppose the smartest and easiest thing is to try and open up old wounds and remind people what their name signifies, what it is they have done and do. "Pinkerton" has room and reason to once again become an epithet for hired thugs, scheming snakes, and mercenary bootlickers.
Adam Brooks
realistically we only get gunned down cause they are better equipped than us and they learned from their past mistakes
but ideally we should undermine them, acquire more effective armaments like fertilizer bombs, spread knowledge on how to manufacture those weapons etc.
mutually assured destruction has been proven as an effective deterrent against capitalism in the past
Ayden Brooks
I mean it sorta already is, the Pinkertons sued Rockstar over Red Dead 2 and how it makes them look like cunts.
Cooper Adams
why not just move to a more habitable area if climate change gets bad?
Elijah Torres
Wasn't Pinkerton from the Germans that fled Germany after the failed 1848 Revolution and fought against Slavery?
Bentley Campbell
You know Rail road barrons also stemed from 1848.
Sebastian Wright
Oh Scottish. My Mistake
The reason for the American Civil War was a war between Capitalism and Feudalism. Pinkerton was a supporter of abolition because he wanted to promote Capitalism.

When they were first formed they were a mercenary group for the Union army and a kind of pre-secret service for some politicians like Lincoln. In the days of the old west they started to get a reputation of being bad guys and the Gilded Age solidified it with their brutal strikebreaking actions.

The Von Mises guys made a book about how the Cowboys were against the bourgeoisie.

There were a bunch of Communists and Socialists in the Union Army.
Seriously we need to take the whole Cowboy and Union Army thing be viewed as Socalist and Communist
Copy/pasting from a neo-Confederate site
Brigadier General Louis BLENKER, Lincoln’s army—radical socialist/Communist from Germany
Major General August WILLICH—often called “The Reddest of the Red ‘48ers” was a member of the London Communist League with Karl MARX and Fredrick ENGLES.
Brigadier General Carl SCHURZ –as a young socialist, was noted for helping Gottfried Kinkel of Bonn escape from
Spandau while imprisoned there for his socialist activities in the ’48 Revolts. Schurz came to America in 1848. He was a forty-eighter who became very active in the development of the Republican Party and in politics. He was given a high position by Lincoln in the Republican army. A great admirer of Karl Marx,
Brigadier General Alexander Von Schimmelfenning, like most of the other MARXISTS /Socialist/Communists who came to the U.S. after their failed uprising in 1848, fled Germany, and escaped retribution for his part in the attempted overthrow. Schimmelfenning’s history as a Socialist Revolutionary was no secret in Pittsburg when the Committee, headed by Republican J. Siebnick, recommended Schimmelfenning for Colonel of the new regiment of Pittsburgh German volunteers for Lincoln’s army.
Major General Franz SIEGEL, thought to be one of Lincoln’s most controversial and the poorest of his generals, was deeply involved in the German 1848 revolts as a commander of socialist troops in the failed 1849 German Revolution. A graduate of the German Military Academy, he served in the German army and the Socialist efforts to overthrow the German government.
Commander Friedrich Karl Franz HECKER, (exact military title not known) known as “Red” and “Flagrant Friedrich.” (work cited, p. 113) Educated in Germany, received his doctor of law degree in Munich. He was expelled from Prussia. Arriving in the U.S., he took part in the creation of the Republican Party, encouraged the proliferation of German newspapers carrying the Socialist propaganda
Captain Gustav von STRUVE was born in Germany to a woman of nobility and her Russian diplomat mate. Struve was one of the leaders, along with HECKER in the uprising in Germany in 1848
General John C. FREMONT was noted for his close association with all of the socialist/communists whom Lincoln placed in positions of command in his army. Fremont was the first Republican candidate for president. He was considered to be the “darling” of the most radical socialists.
Brevet Major General Frederick Charles SALOMON, one of a group of four radical socialist brothers, with highly similar names– three of whom were in the group of Socialist 1848ers. Frederick began his career in Lincoln’s army as a Captain in MO, wound up as a Colonel in the Ninth Wisconsin Volunteer Regiment, then a brigadier general and a brevet major general.
16. Brevetted Brigadier General Charles E. Salomon, also started his American military career with a bunch of MO volunteers. Born in Prussia, he, also, was one of the radical socialists arriving in the U.S. after the 1848 Socialist uprising failure and was a brother to Frederick Charles.
17. Governor Edward Salomon, a third Salomon brother, also born in Prussia, did not do military service, but ran for political office in Wisconsin, was elected lieutenant governor, becoming Governor of Wisconsin when the elected Governor drowned.
18. Sergeant Herman Salomon, the fourth Salomon brother, was markedly younger than the other three Salomon, but it is thought that he, besides sharing their surname, shared their family- devotion to Communism - not confirmed.
19. Colonel Fritz ANNEKE/ANNECKE was a Forty-eighter, with a strong leftward tilt. He was a Communist League member and a Baden Revolt veteran. He and wife, Mathilde Franziska Anneke, were a team of European communists. Fritz was a highly skilled artillery officer in the Prussian army where his equal skill as a socialist ideologue caused him to lose his commission and to be confined in jail

I knew it, Lincoln and Federals were just a bunch of commies who wanted to take away our rights. Thats why we seceded because they wanted to take away our right to own child slaves. If the south has won then we would be free from the government and free from regulation. Ever since the war the government has been filled with communist who are putting cameras in the toilets and spreading mind control gas in the airplanes. Before America was the land of freedom because no one could tell I couldn't own slaves but now it's basically a Marxists paradise.

meanwhile russia can't sue US game makers for the dozens of 'Russian untermensch/human waves' depictions in media.
Christian Lopez
According to reports, Pinkerton filed a cease and desist letter over using their name and wanted money for doing that. American IP law forces companies to be aggressive or they can have their intellectual property taken away.
Take-Two was the ones that filed a lawsuit, then they withdrew it and probably paid them something in settlement so Pinkerton can't lose their trademark.

Hahahahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Climate Change A Problem Hahahaha Nigga Just Move To A More Habitable Area Nigga Buy A New House Haha

Benjamin Reyes

That's because Russia does not have jurisdiction over American game-makers dummy.

Hi FBI,
No you're going to have to do this peacefully. Any violence the left does will be endlessly trumped up as an existential threat to every man woman and child by the media.
No you're going to have to use their superior ability to kill against them. Report and signal boost all the horrific crimes those mercenaries will inevitable commit, and drive home to the public who the real existential threat to their well being is.

So they are going to force senator's sons into the workforce? We will see about peasant.
Oliver Martin

Brayden Gray
Nah, but we'll force you into labor camps.
Get ready.
Leo Roberts
Labor camps? Really? There wont be a need for human labor in the future, the working class is obsolete and we will liquidate you. The late thing you will see is a drone dropping a bomb on your head.
Anthony Gomez
Wonder if you'll sing the same tune when your daddy gets incinerated in the Capital Building?
Nicholas Walker
That's tough talk from a proud and powerless little man.
Thomas Nelson
Just face it commies, you're fucking done for. My dad owns a very successful security company and If you so much as look in my direction I am liable end your naive, pathetic life. I have trained daily at my private high-speed pistol course preparing for the day I will need to liquidate tight, transparent hallways filled with cardboard cutouts. My aim is true, hate pure, and gear pristine. Ever hear of OPT-Velocity systems? Crye? Aimpoint? Your shitty comblock milsurp can't even begin to compare.
