One of my most used quotes, in fact I used it earlier today, it's just so fucking accurate.
No need to apologise, and anyway, it's not like we're that far off, a matter of months, maybe a year or two behind the leaders in the fascist race to the bottom, so these issues are just as relevant..
Fortunately I'm not in the US, unfortunately fascism is rising everywhere, and arming myself here isn't really an option (I am also disabled and unable to personally safely handle a firearm), but I completely agree with you, and think all marginalised people who can arm themselves, should.
Sure, and absolutely, not everyone would need to actively be on the front line of an armed insurgency, but don't fool yourself - this regime, and the systems that enabled it, will never go anywhere without one.
My bad lol
Says the white moderate who was taught so by the establishment that doesn't want you to consider violent opposition to their violent oppression a viable option, which he absolutely did, as, without even the slightest sense of irony because the reality is going over their head in its entirety, they tell you they "agree with you in the goal you seek, but cannot agree with your methods of direct actionβ.
Perhaps educate yourself on MLK and what he actually stood for, rather than what those who murdered him for opposing them want you to know, before you so confidently spread misinformation and continue in the task of whitewashing his legacy.
