Alright we can stop. Sorry
yeah sorry i know that's a sour point. i'll stop
We have figures in history like Nathan Hale that were utterly incompetent and useless but we name forts after them and build statues of them because even incompetence such as that is a flex for us Americans cuz we’re that fuckin dope
historically speaking can you share events that led to cultural/societal revolutions in the usa and other nations?
MLK standing up and saying we should all respect and care for each other and that people shouldn't be judged by the color of their skin, but the content of their character
no it's okay I think our flag is fucking stupid too
was it him, or his death that led to revolution?
at least it's better than Japan
Him and revolution is the wrong word
? do you not believe that was a revolution, the civil rights movement?
japan's is better tbh
the rising sun = easternmost country
a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favor of a new system.
No I think most positive social change is gradual and subtle, not revolutionary
Revolutions are almost universally bloody and regressive
(this is intentionally skewed, because you can argue that major change occurred in 64)
yeah too bad it's been 50 years and still black people are getting murdered all the time for the colour of their skin
they seem to be running out of patience and I don't blame them
Sorry to break it to you but some of the most impactful and widely-remembered figureheads of cultural change in history are nonviolent
Mahatma Gandhi
MLK, Jr.
And they are also good illustrations of the nuanced nature of reality
MLK was a misogynist. In the classical sense, not even by modern standards
Does that mean his statues should be torn down? Absolutely not
But neither should we ignore it because he did and said some good things
The good doesn't wipe away the bad nor the bad the good
This is false, sorry. Watch the videos I linked
all statues lead to idolatry
