The FBI killed Martin Luther, the King, because he was going to do for poverty what he did for civil rights. A whole section of our government is overtly and loudly against stuff like workers rights and unions. Stuff like the Kennedy assassination, albeit interesting, feels like distraction when compared to the simple fact that no one voted for their bullshit ass agenda and operations. This isn't democracy. It never was.

Great share, very interesting. Sorry for the rant, but damn if this shit doesn't need to end like 60 years ago.

You are correct on why King was assassinated and it was our government who carried it out. But why bring that up on this article?

[-] DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, no, I was wrong and I agree with you. It's just the referencing of the FBI in general as a source of information strikes a nerve. They can't be trusted on anything, so why even bother? That's like defending the bible by quoting the bible.

But again, you're right, my bad.

No you're correct and now I understand and agree with you. Thanks for the clarification.
