Comment on If what they taught us about checks and balances was a lie maybe what they taught us about civil disobedience was a lie too.

I remember learning about people like MLK with respect and admiration for his methods, but also being taught to not use our first Amendment Rights to stir up trouble. It was definitely a conflicting message, and probably the reason everybody today recognizes that we have an extremely serious problem, but nobody wants to start the trouble that will finally deal with it.

We won’t have to, though. They want trouble, and they will have their trouble, even if they have to instigate it.
