      MLK started abandoning this system and then he was killed.

      Black Panthers disregarded this system which led to COINTELPRO tactics being used to instigate infighting and divisions. Also gun laws became harsher since the non-whites starting arming up.

      The fact that these gestapo fucks all wear masks and are hell bent on not being identified gives cause to believe they require identification.

        Your statement about King simply isn’t true. He never abandoned non-violence and stood publicly against violence, including the Vietnam War, right up until his death.

        I can’t figure out your argument re: the Black Panthers.

        I agree that ICE agents should not be masked. Crowds should surround them, question them, and obstruct them. But doxxing people is not the way. It is inciting violence. It’s also not a very brave or admirable stand to incite other people to do your violence for you.

        What’s the point of winning if you become as bad as your oppressors? If you adopt their means? You’ll just create a new unjust society.

        Insisting on truth and doing what is right is hard. But it can inspire everyone. It’s the truly revolutionary way.

          Im not sure about the MLK comment in particular, may have misremembered on that one. But he did get assassinated 1 month before he was set to kick off the Poor Peoples Party.

          Im not sure what you missed re:Black Panthers

          The other thing I didn’t mention previously was the amount of violent actions taken against citizens. Rainbow Coalition attacks, bombing a neighborhood, Kent State, and that’s just the Civil Rights era.

          Doxxing isn’t inciting violence, its identification. Ive been doxxed before and i never felt threats of violence were coming my way.

          Beyond that, I’ve never incited violence in any way like you’re describing. Maybe the fascists should be less violent if they’re worried about violent reprisals though?
