The truth is plain to see in this one

It's not really built on victimhood. It's built on laziness, fast food (ironically), student loan bills, parents demanding they move out, and lack of creativity. Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Che, Castro--none of them were lazy, weren't addicted to sugar and anime, and all of them had incredibly high IQs...unlike these 200 lb toddlers.

High IQ can mean nothing if a person has unresolved trauma, and every one of those Leftists did. And Saul Alinsky is the architect of today's Leftist takeover of the US anyway. Part of his blueprint is the victimhood card.

Remember that Classic Liberals were about liberating individuals, not sacrificing them for order imposed by the State. Today's "Liberals" and "Democrats" call themselves those deceptive names as if they are about individual rights, when they are actually about imposing social order on a society they intentionally break and blame its failure on Republicans.

Absolutely true, and it began almost 100 years ago.

You would have said the same thing about Dr. King.

No. Dr King was educated, courageous enough to show his own face, merciful, kind hearted, CHRISTIAN--gasp! and non-violent.

The commie kids today are spoiled, burn books that they don't like, beat up old lesbians because of wrong think, and are generally like dealing with a bunch of toddlers.

I doubt Dr King would have beat this POC down for wearing the wrong hat but then -hey-- he was a Christian and you know how AWFUL those mean old Christians are.

@ThomasinaPaine They called him a communist too. And he spoke about the inevitability of riots, the need for confrontational nonviolence, and the need for structural change--indeed democratic socialism--in order to achieve justice.

@WilyRickWiles Some people called him a communist but some people also thought that smoking was good for your health. Some people are real idiots.

Dr King was a Christian minister, a religious extremist, if you will, that believed the teachings of his religion should prevail and that a colorblind world where everyone held hands together was a vision we should walk towards.

He wasn't a petty little complainer that stayed in his lane. He fought the war on Vietnam, he fought the war on poverty, and generally tried to live by the teachings of Jesus--something obviously you don't like or want in a SCOTUS justice so not sure why you're bringing it up with Dr King.

@ThomasinaPaine Most people. He even had criticism for white moderates. He was not working for colorblindness, lol. You just listened to the one line in his speech that made you comfortable.

King was a fruad.....

Some of them are still around!

@WilyRickWiles I'm sorry to disabuse you of the notion that I am like you and only listen to things that make me comfortable. I chose to educate myself on civil rights, on public health, and I traveled abroad living in parts of the world that would probably scare a lot of grown men. I took classes that interested me and civil rights was among them. We read his writings, watched his speeches, studied his tactics, etc. because he was EFFECTIVE.

As I've said he was against the Vietnam War, he was not about color-consciousness and in fact argued with James Farmer of CORE about it. His definition of social justice was not equal to affirmative action, though both of them believed that society needed to be conscious in how they hired and how they attacked poverty.

His critique of white moderates was in regards to lip service and no skin in the game. However, he didn't fall into hate, advocate for doing violence to those that disagreed with you, and his last night alive he called a friend to ask her to pray with him and since Precious Lord. Why? Because he was weary, scared, and it comforted him.

He wasn't the type of wear a mask so he could beat up old ladies. He didn't tolerate small business owners having their lives ruined by mostly edgy wanna be communist white kids. He didn't hide from his enemies unlike most of this generation. He was a man and stood up --and died--for what he believed in.

@ThomasinaPaine "He wasn't the type of wear a mask so he could beat up old ladies. He didn't tolerate small business owners having their lives ruined by mostly edgy wanna be communist white kids."

Those things accompanied his activism as well and he spoke about how they were not morally equivalent to their root causes. You seem to only see a sanitized version of the past and a demonized version of the present.

@WilyRickWiles No, he did not justify them or advocate for them. He said they were akin to the root causes, yes, but he didn't support the root causes, either. He was saying that all of it was a product of humans treating each other poorly.

I hope you are not trying to imply that Dr King was pro-violence. Dr King was more aligned with Gandhi's approach because it was pragmatic for a society whose people would need to continue to live together. Violence begets violence. People will remember violence because people have long memories. He also said that injustice done to you does not excuse injustice done to others. He said this not only because of his deeply spiritual beliefs but because it is also PRUDENT.

Hate does not drive out hate. That's not just religious gobbledegook. Shoving someone else down to lift another man up just makes the person shoved down resentful. Peace must be made together or not at all.

Lenin studied theory and practice of revolution. He said that you must absolutely deprive people of hope or they will rise back up against you. This is why they purged so many people. You either have to kill all of your enemies or make peace with them all.
