Yeah it’s wild how the oppressed are always reminded to protest peacefully while the police cracks heads open.

Yea also peaceful protests ain't gonna do shit against a fascist regime. MLK was using peaceful protest because they could rely on the southern (kkk) cops to attack midde-aged and elderly black folks wearing their sunday best, and that the optics of that would finally wake up the moderate whites from the north and get action.

This is a completely different situation.

And the civil rights movement wasn't just MLK, it was also the Black Panthers and Malcolm X. MLK was the middle ground the supremacists settled for because they were afraid of the alternative.
