Delicate diplomacy like screaming at world leaders to tell them they’re abdicating their responsibility to leave the world better than they found it and instead incinerating the world for their own profit

nah she’s back on my “can’t take seriously”, she showed up at Georgia’s ongoing Color Revolution attempt
Yeah this was such a lib moment for her, it was also of course immediately reported on by the establisment rags.
Disappointed, but she is still on the journey, going to give it a few more years. She has still consistently moved lefter from within a socdem civility both sides background and definitely has ended up more based than I ever hoped for as someone from a similar country. There is no left voices to hear at all so all the development has taken some actual engagement. Need to send her a pdf of Blackshirts and Reds or something.
Or that interview with MLK where he was all “Yeah so this whole passive resistance thing isn’t really working and I’m joining the War on Terror on the side of Terror.”
Link it, you lib.
As the only true lib on hexursine:

Around 19 minutes in he starts talking about how his “dream became a nightmare” and mentions another quote from someone else who said “We may have integrated a burning house.” He mentions that many people don’t have the same hopes they did the decade prior when there was a push to end Jim Crow because people are still living in poor economic conditions. He starts laying out how civil rights up to that point had been supported because it “didn’t cost America anything.” But the push for real equality would require economic changes and that’s where he was running into the most resistance.
You can see how he had come around to socialism as socialism was the answer to racism, militarism, and poverty. Marching and speeches wouldn’t be enough. The US would need to revolutionize its economy if it wanted to get serious about equality. He points out how white, European settlers were given land out west, while former slaves were thrown to the wind. So it’s not like the US was unable to create a society based on equality, it just didn’t want to. People only supported civil rights up to that point because of the sheer brutality of racism, not necessarily because they were against racism.
He was assassinated a few months after this interview AFAIK.
