The greatest threat to justice is the liberal class, as Martin Luther King so clearly said.

"The white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; […]”

If you have not realised by now that nonviolent disruption is society’s best defence against injustice – its best warning system – you’re not paying attention.

    All the stress on the non violent part has caused disruptions to be ignorable. The non violent protests are supposed to signify coming violent opposition if the message is not received. Removing the threat prevents any effectiveness.

        They’re called the black panthers and Indian independence movement.

        For some reason, western history books either don’t mention them or say those are evil radicals that threatened the civilized dialogue with MLK and Gandhi.

      You sound like you’re in a hurry to see some violence. I invite you to start the charge.

          Nonviolent action. It’s working, though it is perhaps too slow for some. If that’s anyone in particular, go do something about it.

            Really? We are setting consecutive year over year records for temperature, wildfires, storms, and fossil fuel usage. That’s what “working” looks like to you?

              See the bit where I mentioned “it’s going too slow for some.” You and others are welcome to try something else, but whining on the internet ain’t it, and I don’t see almost anyone else acting like current action is actually going too slow for them (with a few notable exceptions).

                You’re not actually engaging with the point, but I suspect further messages wouldn’t change that.

                    “LA LA LA LA LA VIOLENCE DOESNT WORK”

                    Thats how you sound, while conveniently not reading any history from before the 1960s, or even the actual history of the 1960s civil rights movement at that.

                    The feds FUCKING shot MLK, it clearly does something or why assassinate the guy?
