Probably because that is most certainly not the first camera. The image quality displayed is decades ahead of what actual photos by the first cameras looked like, and those clothes are much more late 19th century, from what I know of pre-modern fashion.
And there’s no reason why the first camera would be that big. I don’t know what exactly that image is of, but it’s not what the caption claims.
The earliest known photograph of a human being looks very cool due to the horrendously long exposure time. Said human is that shadow getting his shoes shined in the lower left.
The image shows a busy street, but due to exposure time of more than ten minutes, the traffic was moving too much to appear.

Which is exactly why their lives shouldn’t be wasted on unnecessary wars that could be avoided.
I always wondered how exactly bombing civillians in third world countries was protecting American’s freedoms. I mean, were the Vietnamese trying to rewrite the Bill of Rights? Did some given now-dead kid from Iraq pause a threat to the right to petition? Did Nicaragua pose such a huge threat to the right of the free press in America to justify the US running guns for a terorrist oorganization whose tactics consisted of hitting “soft targets” meaning especially kids, non-compatatants and hospitals?
Really, what freedom of yours did Grenada threaten? What liberty was at stake when they bombed Cambodia?
Domino theory is the justification I’ve usually heard.
I’m aware of the existance of the theory, I just don’t see it as any sort of justification, and it still only pertains to lives of people the other side of the world from the US. Well, except in the case of Latin America, which probably explains why the US took extra care to be assholes there, what with recruiting old nazi officials as torture consultants, and suporting right wing terrorists that made it a point to put the Terror in terrorism.
Well the idea is something like Vietnam falls to communism -> Asia falls to communism -> World falls to communism -> America falls to communism, and communism is repressive etc. “tenuous” is kind of an understatement for this, of course.

Members of the Red Warriors, an antifascist gang in France, 1985. Red Warriors used violent force to remove Neo Nazi gangs from France and provide safe spaces for immigrants during the rise of white nationalism and an outbreak of violent crime against people of colour. They formed a squat called “L.U.S.I.N.E” and were considered the most effective gang to counter nazi violence, working to instill fear in their opposition.
white people who think you’re anti-racism/”not racist”, if you’re not doing this, you’re literally doing it completely wrong.
Here’s the documentary that this story came from for anyone who’s interested in watching it:
