  Then look to what MLK did and preached: non-violent protest.

    he may have advocated non-violence but he did not condemn violence. he understood it as an inevitable and necessary response under continued oppression. please don’t whitewash him.

    we are not going to protest our way out of fascism. i hope we all know there is much more to be done.

      They’re snubbing their noses at you because you’re gatekeeping what it means to be committed to a cause. People need to keep their jobs out of responsibility and necessity and you are telling them it’s not good enough. You’re posing a false dichotomy about what it means to be committed. When the protest is over, they still need to pay bills.

        Their snubbing their nose because they cant imagine a world where they have to do something beyond the bare minimum.

        You can call me a gate keeper but the gate is wide open.

        Yes, yes, I have to pay bills they have to pay bills we should all do are best not to disrupt the system and be compliant with our owners.
