"Dr. King's policy was that nonviolence would achieve the gains for black people in the United States. His major assumption was that if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That's very good. He only made one fallacious assumption: In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none."

America is an absolutely psychopathic place. That is just unreal. I can't think of another country on earth where that would happen.

Every liberal speaks in the same condescending way.

Peanut gallery? Peanut gallery is the name for... checks notes the cheap seats in theatre for the poorer rowdy audience members...

...with possible racist origin in the United States' segregated South as a synonym for the back seats or upper balcony mostly reserved for Black people and immigrants...

Mr Biden is that you?

EDIT: On the topic of the ever condescending 'checks notes', the Financial Times of course loves it, with their most recent instance of it being "Are investors prepared for checks notes nuclear war in space?"

Seriously.

Such a shame about Michael Parenti. If the world was just he'd still be well enough to carry on dunking.

War conventions didn't apply to revolutions and counter revolutions until like the 70's, in all the conventions up to that point there was not a single mention of war crimes of colonialism/imperialism.

I never knew that. Incredible.

Yeah, I guess so. Selfishly I guess I just wanted to hear people's takes on it who were better read than me on the situation so I could have some data/resources to look at. I figured that the best way to get that was to do some infighting, lol.

Takes on most countries are "they're fine, the US should leave them alone", I was hoping for further insight.
