    King wasn’t disrupting the peace of the country … he was disturbing the never ending war against the poor

    “And they’ll say we’re disturbing the peace, but there is no peace. What really bothers them is that we are disturbing the war.”

    I regard.him as one of the GOATs of social ideologies. He held the recipe for society getting along, based around people just having some fucking respect for each other for once. But apparently some people didn’t want that.

    Alas, in parts of the developed world, poverty, racism, and disdain toward the fellow man continue. Where pulling everyone down to pull yourself up is still considered the basis of a “success” story.

    Disruption of [🇺🇲] imperialism is good.

    Capitalist restitution of reparative work is a doomed venture. You’ll only get slavery back, and isolation.

    E.g. see the Ugandan shilling.
