I know your heart’s in the right place here but the “more MLK than Malcolm” line is based on a simplified (and white-ified) historical teaching of both. MLK’s push for non-violent protests was essentially a marketing ploy to gain the images of peaceful protesters being abused. More privately- and publicly with his…

Seriously. Deescalation here is just 4 signed arrest warrants.

Death Cult.

It’s been a long tradition of assholes posting on ex-Gawker sites about faux outrage, and over 10+ years of regularly posting, I finally get to join them.
