Here’s a quote from Martin Luther King that I think is very relevant:
First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”
Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
People have a right to go about their day, you can’t have everyone with a gripe going around blocking roads all the time.
You are an awful status quo, please don’t rock my boat it’s working for me and I don’t care about anybody or anything else person.
Here’s a quote from Martin Luther King that I think is very relevant:
This has “if you’re not for us, you’re against us” vibes.
They’re literally against them.
This. I don’t care how righteous your cause is. Get the fuck out of my way and go stab an oil exec if you actually want change.
You would have volunteered to guard the concentration camps because if the Jews got out they’d make a ruckus.
They probably wouldn’t have taken me because I’m a Jew, dipshit.
There were Nazi Jews. There were even Jews who guarded concentration camps. Hitler didn’t spare them.
Go do a slow march against the next Hitler and see how much they care. Then enjoy 6 months in jail.
Nice attempt to change the subject, but you failed.
At best you’re a slacktivist and at worst you’re a cryptofascist. Either way, go fuck yourself.
