(San Antonio Eloxochitlán, Oaxaca, 1873 - Leavenworth, Kansas, 1922) Mexican politician and journalist who is considered a precursor of the Mexican Revolution. His figure has remained as that of one of the most upright fighters and consistent with the cause of the workers during the times of the Revolution. Indefatigable and indefatigable, his thought and his struggle inspired many of the workers' conquests and some rights that would be included in the Mexican constitution.
The son of Indigenous parents, Ricardo Flores Magón studied law at the University of Mexico. In 1892 he was arrested along with his brother Jesús de him during a student protest against the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz. After collaborating with the short-lived daily El Demócrata, he founded with his brother the newspaper Regeneración, whose first issue appeared on August 7, 1900 and from whose pages the Porfiriato was permanently lashed out.
Harassed by the government, he had to go into exile in the United States in 1904. In the city of Saint Louis (Missouri), he founded in 1906 the Mexican Liberal Party, of socialist/anarchist ideology, claiming a revolutionary program of state interventionism. He demanded the eight-hour day, Sunday rest and the distribution of land to the peasants, with which his ideas had repercussions on the Mexican labor movement. Closer and closer to anarchist socialism, his party was behind the strikes in the mining town of Cananea and the Rio Blanco industrial zone in Veracruz (1906-1907), violently repressed by the Díaz regime.
After the outbreak in 1910 of the revolution that would force Porfirio Díaz to resign, in 1911 he promoted the insurrection in Baja California with his brother Enrique. They came to take the cities of Mexicali and Tijuana and tried, without success, to found a socialist republic. Lacking aid, they were defeated by government troops and had to retreat to the United States. Convinced that the governments were to blame for the oppression of the working class, they continued to fight the rulers who, during the turbulent period of the Mexican Revolution, succeeded Díaz: Francisco I. Madero and Venustiano Carranza.
President Francisco Madero sought his help, but Flores refused to collaborate with the bourgeois revolution. Many of his claims were admitted in the Congress of Querétaro (1917). In 1918 he drew up a manifesto addressed to anarchists around the world, for which he was sentenced to twenty years in prison by the American authorities. After suffering a cruel and ruthless prison regime, he died almost blind on November 20, 1922, in Leavenworth (Kansas) penitentiary.

have all of you a good day/night 
Sniper Elite 5 has a game mode where someone can invade your game as a Nazi sniper and try to hunt you down. There's a mechanism where you make a phone call to the Nazis and the Nazis tell you where the other player is, and then the other player is told where you are. It prevents either player from just hiding somewhere forever. It's supposed to keep the game moving so you can at least force the other player to re-position and make it harder for them to just sit in a tower and see you coming from a mile away and pop you. But you have to go to to one of a half-dozen marked phones on the map to activate the feature, so there's some risk - If you think the opponent is going to go for a phone to reveal you then you can set up an ambush at the phone.
Either way, I was playing the game for hours today, working my way methodically through this one mission, and people kept invading me, and I was like "Hmm I should put land mines under all the phones as I pass them by since my enemy will probably go to the phone to find out where I am"
So anyway for about three hours I'd get a little notice on my screen that's like "Hey fucko you're being invaded by Nazis!" and then like 30s later I'd hear a muffled explosion in the distance and get a little notice that "Congratulations on your superior head shooting skills you sure did shoot that nazi in the head and they did not just walk on to a mine you left somewhere two hours ago good job sniper guy!" and I'd shrug and go back to gunning down nazis and stealing beer from french people.
Sniping is all about patience and attention to detail and the first thing you should patiently detail your attention to is making sure no one put a 20kg anti-tank mine under the telephone.
god damn this sounds amazing. shame I am terrible at FPS games and hate them.
