“oh no those poor buildings” okay but you think child murder is fine lmao
Never said that, never implied that. Simply stating that two wrongs dont make it right.
Should be common sense
You should do some reading. Start here.
I disagree with him?
Lmao. MLK isn’t a Messiah. He also got things wrong. Such as this.
Edit: I thought MLK advocated for vandalism given this context. I was wrong. He did not, actually. Which only proves why vandalism isnt activism
Ah yes. Thanks to your enlightened and superior views on political activism you’ve surely achieved enlightened and superior results to MLK…
No? Just defending genocide and attacking those who oppose it?
Weird…
You can use the same logic by far right racists back in MLK day:
“Thanks to your enlightened and superior views on political activism you’ve surely achieved enlightened and superior results to Jesus, right MLK?”
And that argument is just as retarded back in that day.
Lastly, talking about ‘weird’. I find it odd that you put words in my mouth. Never have I stated that I defend said genocide, nor do I attack them? I simply state a fairly common opinion: dont destroy things.
I don’t think that comparison is in good faith. That being said Jesus and MLK DID achieve results, which proves their views on activism are both effective.
You argue your views on activism are valid, and even superior to MLK’s views and yet you have nothing to show for it. Your unqualified armchair quarterback opinions aren’t worth the storage space they use up.
The activists are fighting for something they believe in, they’re doing it in a way that’s effective enough that you’re here commenting about it. I’m not going to sit here and criticize their efforts while doing nothing. That’s just supporting the status quo which, in case you haven’t noticed, is genocide.
Let’s cut to the chase. Comparing vandalism to the activism of MLK and Jesus is a false equivalence. Their activism was rooted in peaceful protest, not destruction. You claim vandalism works, so show me the results. How has breaking stuff actually helped the cause?
And let’s talk about your accusation that I’m supporting genocide. That’s a serious claim. I haven’t said anything close to that. Criticizing methods isn’t the same as opposing the movement. I simply believe, nay, KNOW that smashing windows isn’t the way to win hearts and minds. Just look at Just Stop Oil in the UK. Everybody fucking hates them.
You call me an ‘armchair quarterback’, but where’s your playbook? What are your strategies beyond just causing chaos? If we’re talking about effective activism, let’s see some constructive actions. Vandalism might make noise, but does it make change? I doubt it.
Let’s hear your constructive ideas for change instead of defending destruction. What’s your plan beyond breaking things? Because whining like a child might’ve worked when you were young. But we’re adults now.
Christ I despise radicals
Lol!
You’re the one who juxtaposed the activists, MLK, and Jesus, not me. I even said you weren’t doing it in good faith. Don’t try to flip your own bullshit on me.
I never criticized anyone working hard to shed light on injustice. I have neither claims on what is “the right way” to do activism, nor accolades for my wondrous successes. I’m not whining or complaining about anyone doing actual work or trying their best to achieve actual results.
Your calls for me to prove what I never claimed ring hollow, but your silence on the proven effectiveness of your superior and enlightened methods screams loudly and reverberates far.
Almost as far as the chasm between your claim that you don’t support genocide and your actions which appear to consist entirely of chastising anyone who takes steps to fight against genocide because “they’re doing it wrong”
The only wrong way to fight fascism and genocide is not to fight at all. But you’re going even further, you fight against those who do fight. Which is to say, you fight on the side of those who are committing genocide.
… you DO realize Jesus literally “vandalized” a market, right?
like, Jesus actually did use property damage to make his point, when he trashed merchants property they had set up for sale in a temple.
soooo…maybe fuck off with this houlier-than-thou bullshit?
yeah, yeah, genocide is terrible and all but won’t someone please think of the minor property damage! This doesn’t help your cause.
signed, someone who can barely be bothered to give a shit about the cause.
Is this you?
The wrong of genocide far outweighs the “wrong” of some minor vandalism. It’s justified when peaceful protests already happened and it still continues.
Frankly it’s sick that you put these 2 things next to each other as if they are equal.
Absolute morality is not common sense, it’s fucking stupid.
A small price that nyp must pay for being a voice for genocide. Nobody was hurt
Hmmmm…no. Not very wise.
Not just the children, but the women and men, too
But mostly children though. Can’t have them grow up to be terrorists!
And shooting kids jn the head on purpose… my breath hitches every time the thought crosses my mind.
