Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

That first sentence you wrote is so poorly worded that I'm not gonna make assumptions about what you're even talking about.
WW1 literally didn't start from the archdukes assassination. The assassination was used as a means to fuel already existing European expansion.
Holy shit, you actually used like the most cliche event a historian would point to as an example of how horribly simplified pre college history classes teach WW1.
It also has nothing to do with the potential of revolution in the working class. It's quite literally the opposite. The assassination of the archduke was used as a means to fuel European expansion. Which, stay with me here, is the opposite of what I'm talking about as "the propaganda of the deed". This phrase is specifically about an act (often violence) done by an individual in hopes it would fuel the working class to rise up to overthrow the ruling class.
The ruling class can absolutely use propaganda related to an assassination to fuel their interest. Why? Because they are already the ruling class. They have the power of the state. They command the military. They have the ear of the masses.
You have no idea what you're talking about and you are talking about WW1 like you googled "what conflict was started from an assassination" and then read the first part of the AI response.
I will apologize though. See, when I read something that I've never heard before, especially when it's a phrase placed in quotes, I take a second to read about what it means before responding to someone. I'm dumb I guess. I assume that other people actually care about understanding something before they respond to it. So I should have typed out the entire explanation of the phrase for you.
If you had just searched "propaganda of the deed" you could have saved yourself from responding with a comment that makes you sound extremely ignorant.
That's a lot of words to say "I'm a dumb-ass"
That's a lot of words for you to say nothing at all.
