Hoping to hell that’s an AI or a bot because this might be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard
Before you get depressed, know that there are people who actually are calling this shit out and there are people who are suggesting actual helpful techniques in that sub. But damn, that particular post was wow.
Anyway, I’m not going back to the reddit mines for a while.
there’s been a long and concerted effort to make us think Gandhi and King just did that and leaving out the actual violence from other liberatory factions or the violence implied by the alternative.
nobody ever made peace without war or the threat of one.
Even a lot of the peaceful protests they did were illegal or dangerous. Sit-ins in places they weren’t allowed to enter, voting in places they’d kill or arrest you for voting, boycotting, etc.
Boycotting seems like the only one liberals are okay with (unless it’s Israel apparently). No one even wants to get arrested, but it’s probably because it could cause you to get fired or hurt getting a future job when it’s notoriously difficult right now, so I get it.
