People who can't see, right now, the accelerating of #mairikkkan fascism (not the risk of it starting), and the normalization of genocide, with 1a 4a 10a and 14a cancelled--are stooges, bootlickers, useful idiots or genocidal fascists. You need to make them explicitly state their posture.

Roll up your sleeves. It's been less than 6 months since #jan20.

Good night and good luck.

fantastic intro article on Popper’s Paradox Of Tolerance by Josh Jones for OpenCulture.org:

Does Democracy Demand the Tolerance of the Intolerant? Karl Popper's Paradox | Open Culture - openculture.com/2019/03/does-d

Open CultureDoes Democracy Demand the Tolerance of the Intolerant? Karl Popper’s ParadoxPhoto via Wikimedia Commons In the past few years, when far-right nationalists are banned from social media, violent extremists face boycotts, or institutions refuse to give a platform to racists, a faux-outraged moan has gone up: “So much for the tolerant left!” “So much for liberal tolerance!” The complaint became so hackneyed it turned into an already-hackneyed meme.

there is no question in my mind that MLK Jr was assassinated by the fascists within and outside of the USA government for his second phase of the Civil Rights Movement.

the second phase was:

1. opose the war in Vietnam

2. create public and private-led incentives to end poverty in America based on the principles of non-violence

3. make new non-violent economic models possible worldwide

and that meant spending a few billions then to make it happen…

“America’s Chief Moral Dilemma”, is called ”The 3 evils speech” when gutted of his re-interpretation of REPARATIONS:
theatlantic.com/magazine/archi

THIS IS THE SPEECH, MLK uses to criticize liberals who edit out his call for a RADICAL REDISTRIBUTION OF ECONOMIC & POLITICAL POWER for not just the Negro but all races.

this was his ultimate goal: to end racism, Americans need to end poverty. to do that, Americans need to end the infinite growth, money making machine of militarism.

❝So long as one spark of prejudice lies latent in the heart of any white American, there is a possibility for it to develop into a [strikeout illegible] flame of intolerence at the unpredictable moments.

❝We must not become so complacent that we forget the struggles of other minorities. We must unite with oppressed minorities throughout the world. (Africa & Asia).

❝ King claimed that America made “peaceful revolution impossible by refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investments” (King, “Beyond Vietnam,” 157). King urged instead “a radical revolution of values” emphasizing love and justice rather than economic nationalism (King, “Beyond Vietnam,” 157).

❝ "Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence", also referred as Riverside Church speech, is an anti-Vietnam war and pro-social justice speech delivered by Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4, 1967. The major speech at Riverside Church in New York, New York, followed several interviews[2] and several other public speeches in which King came out against the war in Vietnam and the policies that created the war.

❝ I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money, like some demonic, destructive suction tube. […] it is estimated that we spend $500,000 to kill each enemy soldier, while we spend only fifty-three dollars for each person classified as poor, and much of that fifty-three dollars goes for salaries to people that are not poor.

Also, my friend is coming over to do art together, and then kid & I are going to play Minecraft.

It's going to be a day of quiet resistance and rebellion in the manner which fascists most hate: a focus on care and convince the world; on joy; and on strength through communion with like-minded fellow humans. I anticipate a great deal of reverence and laughter.
