Kowowow@lemmy.ca 1 week agoLook I’m not going to say I don’t think musk could be swayed by some head pats and calling him a good boy when he actually does something right bit every effective movement has both the face and a bit of violence
The civil rights movement wasn’t completely non-violent but would have gotten no where without smart and charismatic people explaining why things are so bad others might resolt to violence
I’m sorry so say but the longer words fail on their own to change things the more “necessary”/inevitable violence becomes

MLK also was very honest about the fact that the non-violence would only work if enough people committed to it.
A national strike would do a lot more, but the issue is getting everyone on the same page.
Which is why you had people like Malcolm X and Fred Hampton waiting in the wings, and why the FBI thought it was important to murder Fred Hampton.
