Exactly this. The “carrot and stick” strategy doesn’t work without the stick. Every time a nonviolent movement achieves something, it’s because they were seen as the preferable alternative to a more militant contemporary.
The only reason MLK didn’t do more was because what they were already doing was illegal, and anything more could get them jail time. And this is still what they thought of him and his “peaceful” protests:
It’s a good motto to not get into a petty fight for petty shit because of emotion. It did not mean all violence because you also need violence as a defence against violence.
On the other hand, if the next 4 years we(as in us who isn’t from the US) didn’t see a civil war or violence protest, then people like oop that love to repeat this stuff should totally go outside and touch grass. These teasing is getting tiring.
I’m like 99% sure that “Violence is never the answer” is just yet ever more rich fuck propaganda.
It’s also very Liberal propaganda.
While of course barely mentioning the Black Panthers and how MLK was suddenly a reasonable alternative to their violent resistance.
And his “peace” was met with an extreme act of violence. Certainly was an answer for someone(s).

Exactly. The same goes for implementing social welfare in the face of the Soviet Union and local communist movements.

They did the same shit when they pretended that BLM burned down cities. We really don’t learn even from our recent history, huh?
Same as it ever was.
dying at this, what a perfect demonstration
Tulsa.
“Violence (against the rich) is never the answer!” is what they really mean.

Adventure time explained it pretty well imo.

I thought it was just something we taught children
But it’s bad to lie to children! Santa is practice God, “violence is never the answer” is practice “vote harder”.
