No, it wasn't...because he was talking about people who didn't want to see black folks rise up at all if it meant disruption. I would be thrilled to see Gazans gain equality, their own state and be just fine with protestors disrupting the people who could actually affect those changes. Protesting by blocking regular folk from getting anywhere is rock bottom stupid because they don't have any power to make the change...it's taking their frustration out at the situation out on innocent people. Instead of speaking truth to power, it's inflicting their will on the powerless. If you can't tell right from wrong, that's a you problem.

If you think MLK would have been all for trapping regular civilians on the US freeways for a war in another continent though, you're a complete and utter moron.

How do you type this without pausing to consider how absurdly hyperbolic you're being? I don't support Israel in its war against Gaza whatsoever, I was thrilled to see the war crimes charges against Netanyahu and public sentiment turning against the conditions there but if I don't support freeway blocking protests in another continent that don't even attempt to separate out those that support the war, I'm being "absolutely monstrous?" How could anyone be expected to take you seriously here when you exaggerate THAT badly?

Edit: Oh, and "Few hundred people made slightly late"

Gonna stop you right there. You have no idea how many cars get backed up for how long, who has drinking water, working Air Conditioning, emergencies to get to, whether or not someone died in an ambulance stuck in traffic. You're making up the rosiest scenario, pretending this isn't dangerous and life threatening, and then pretending that's the reality as if you could know. It's wildly dishonest.

The same society you are hoping to change...I don't think you realize how immature your thought process is here.

Exactly, the worthy message is completely lost in the immoral delivery.

You don't even have to leave WW2 to find another genocide in China.

It wasn't even the only genocide in WW2.

It's not even unique to WW2. The Japanese killed somewhere between 3 and 10 million Chinese civilians, burning some of them alive. If that range sounds insane, it's because it is. Some estimates put the number of civiians killed by the Japanese as high as 20 million. Wikipedia.

If you're looking for a good stick, there are some pretty thorny plants out in the Sonoran desert.

True, but what if the toppings were mustard instead of tomato sauce, yogurt instead of cheese, and Skittles and banana chips and fortune cookies for toppings. Is it still a pizza?

On some level my acceptance of the pizza does depend on thematically appropriate toppings which I take for granted. There's room for a weird topping or two but if you subvert all expectations, one risks not being pizza at all.

But it's 2024 y'all, the pizza's orientation shouldn't matter ;D
